ScarWork at MBS Therapies

Not all creams will provide enough occlusion (barrier function) to the skin after injury. It’s for this reason we educate about scar care products on our courses. Providing evidence led information about scar care will help improve outcomes for those recovering after injuries, from majorly burns to smaller keyhole surgeries, effective skin care can reduce symptoms and support the skin during this phase.

The amazing Emma Holly is teaching more Therapists in Leamington Spa the wonder of ScarWork. If you have scars, why not grab this opportunity to have a free session of this amazing therapy.
Emma is still needing some models for the course on the dates shown. Please do take advantage of this opportunity, I will guarantee you will be very well cared for!

Please share-we really need help filing the spaces in the class clinics in Leamington Spa 6-7 April.

This week I have been teaching in London and the students had a great time in clinic, our clients feedback included:

"Gentle loving scar care, loosening and softening the internal layers...Thank you very much!" Hysterectomy scar

"Amazing, tummy feels tighter and less bloated. I feel awake and relaxed. I would be happy to come back" C-section scar

"I feel a lot more relaxed coming out of the session. I have more flexibility in my back" Spinal surgery

"It was helpful and the guidance from the supervisors was useful" Endometriosis keyhole surgery

"Good experience I felt comfortable and fell asleep! I felt the benefit" Breast scar tissue

We have spaces to fill and even a single treatment can be beneficial, as you can read in the comments. Please share this post as someone you know may love to come and attend!

Interested, but can't attend on this occasion? Get in touch as courses are coming to new locations later in 2022. Scars can be old or newer, keyhole scars and trauma scars as well as larger surgical or burn scars.

Thank you.

Sometimes even the smallest scars can cause discomfort, swelling and restricted movement. They may feel tight, be raised, red or feel just generally uncomfortable.

Scar therapy is a gentle treatment, that helps in so many ways. If you would like to know more, or would like to discuss how we might be able to help, get in touch.

Everyone’s skin is different and some people are more prone to problems with their scars than others.

Scars may stick to underlying tissues and become itchy or sensitive to the touch.

If scars run across/close to a joint, they could limit movement at that joint and restrict function.

Massage treatments can help by:
- softening scar tissue
- flattening, smoothing and cooling scars
- bringing down redness

When can I start massage?
As soon as stitches are out and the wound is closed.

Please speak to a clinician at PRU if you have concerns about your scar and would like more information.
