Invitation for free supervised work with my students!

I invite you to receive work from my supervised, ScarWork students over 28 - 30 November, Shepherds Bush, London.

We have some spaces still for scar models to receive work to abdominal and pelvic scars on 28/29 Nov if you have had no or little Sharon Wheeler's ScarWork to those scars. Also, for those of you who have had a lot of work to any scars anywhere on your body, on Sunday 30 Nov we are teaching full body integration and this day would be perfect for you.

Here is a recent testimonial from one of our scar models:

"Truly fascinating what ScarWork can do – a scar isn’t just a scar that closes up again and all is well ….. these sessions mobilise the internal layers to align tissues and increase mobility, reduce obstructions and – added bonus – improve the scar’s appearance too!" Irene

Sharon Wheeler's ScarWork (www.scarwork.com) is gentle, painless and usually effective on most scars. This course focuses on pelvic and abdominal scars on men and women, and takes the student deeper into working with the full body rather than just on the scar alone; this is designed to help resolve short/long term related pain or imbalance. For example, an old hysterectomy scar may be contributing towards your back pain or knee problems, so we work on the scar then integrate other, involved areas of the body.

If you have a Caesarean, hysterectomy scar, or inguinal hernias, etc with little or some ScarWork done, please complete the application form for days 1 or 2 as appropriate, via the link below. If you have other scars, anywhere on the body, that have received Sharon Wheeler's ScarWork and are fairly well healed but still creating local or body-wide discomfort by affecting your posture or mobility or causing pain, please use the same link to book in on day 3. Please read carefully to ensure you book in for the right day for you.

Looking forward to hosting Dr. Arielle Schwartz in my capacity of Director of The Fascia Hub. I get all the best jobs!

In just over a week, join Dr. Arielle Schwartz, licensed psychologist and leading voice in the healing of trauma, for our monthly Members' Webinar.

Arielle will be giving us practical, embodied tools that centralise the nervous system in the journey of trauma recovery. She will explain why dysregulation of the nervous system underlies a wide range of mental and physical health conditions. You will come away with body-based tools that regulate, rebalance, and rewire the nervous system.

This discussion is based around Arielle's new book, The Polyvagal Theory Workbook for Trauma. As a Fascia Hub Member, you can enjoy a discount of 25% off the book - just go to this month's reading at https://thefasciahub.com/blog/stress-trauma-and-your-breath-2 and https://thefasciahub.com/blog/applied-polyvagal-theory-in-trauma-treatment-dr-arielle-schwartz kindly provided by Arielle, to find your coupon code.

Two aspects of disconnection are often obvious when working with clients’ scars – the emotional and the physical, and they are not separate.

Emotional disconnection from the physically affected part of our body can develop, leaving us unable to touch it, or to allow others to touch it; this can become a severe dislike or hatred of the area, our bodies and/or ourselves. If our self-love is based on our looks rather than on who we are as a person, it is possible for disfigurement to lead to severe psychological issues.

As a therapist assessing our client, we can often see that the affected limb or part of their body where the disconnect lies may look different – maybe denser or lighter – or that as they walk the body is not synchronised. It is not always just the scarred area that is involved.

Learn more about scars, how they affect us and how to help at a profound level by training in Sharon Wheeler's ScarWork with us here at Body in Harmony Training.

It's not long now until the start of our Pelvic and Abdominal Scarring & Full Body Integration course. - Sharon Wheeler's ScarWork therapists, why not join us on the 28th - 30th November in London?

Our in-person training focuses on understanding and treating the pelvic and abdominal region — one of the most emotionally and structurally significant areas of the body. You’ll explore how surgical and injury-based scars can influence breathing, posture, and integration across the fascial network.

You will also learn the importance of full body integration once the scars have been worked on; restore a sense of cohesion to your clients and help them optimise their mobility and ROM.

This specialist course is for qualified Sharon Wheeler’s ScarWork therapists only. Take your ScarWork to the next level and develop your confidence working with any scar and any postural distortion.

We look forward to sharing this work with you.

Major adhesions after pelvic/abdominal surgery, such as a 'tummy tuck', DIEP flap surgery, hemi-colectomy etc, may cause you to feel like this inside. This can manifest as altered posture as fascial restrictions develop internally, often creating a bent-over posture it feels impossible for you to counteract.

Sharon Wheeler's ScarWork is renowned for gently unravelling the tension in restricted fascia and affected muscles and organs, and for helping to free compressed nerves and blood vessels, usually helping clients to stand straight again as well as improve movement and function.

If you're feeling like this inside, don't give up hope. Find a therapist who does Sharon Wheeler's ScarWork and start to address the problem today.

If you are a therapist and have a client who is suffering, learn how to help them by training in this life-changing work.

Do you understand the importance of working on your clients' scars? Take a look at the case below and decide whether you can afford not to train in this work which is sweeping the world!

Body in Harmony Director, Jan Trewartha, recently came back from a trip to China, where she was teaching Sharon Wheeler's ScarWork techniques to a large group of therapists, surgeons, doctors and physiotherapists.

The gentleman in the ''before and after treatment' images below was one of her demonstration scar models. He is a farmer, very fit and active, but he had open heart surgery a few years ago. Since then he has been feeling increasingly dyspnoeic and with rapidly decreasing ROM.

After Jan worked on him there were many noticeable differences, including:

- a visibly improved expansion of his upper body
- improved definition and mobility in his shoulders and arms
- reduced rotation of the abdomen to the left
- shape change of the costal margin of the rib cage
- improved breathing

It is always a joy to help restore someone's mobility and function - with ScarWork it doesn't take long for the scar and the surrounding tissues to change.

Imagine you could do this work! Then imagine the difference you could make to your clients' health, mobility and functionality.

Our next course is in North London, April 17 - 20. Click here to find out more about Sharon Wheeler's Scarwork - https://www.bodyinharmony.org.uk/fascia-training-courses/sharon-wheelers-scarwork-course

This week Jan has been with the originator of ScarWork, Sharon Wheeler, as Sharon created archive footage working on a model with a complex scar, and completed a major video project around her BoneWork. It's been a fascinating time watching her work and - always - learning yet more from her.

"This morning was the first time I had looked at my right glute since you demonstrated skidding [our 'Skidding' technique] around that hip scar and I am thrilled at the difference you have made! Alongside all the other work I had from the group, I am feeling and walking like a new woman!"

This is why ScarWork is so important. It is a gentle, effective method for treating scar tissue. It uses specific, light touch techniques designed to regenerate mobility, improve appearance, and restore sensation in and around scars with clients often reporting lasting change and emotional release.

Because the fascia of the body is continuous, without layers, connecting all structures, limbs, organs, etc together, it is inevitable that a scar in one part of the body, as it tensions the fascia that surrounds it, can and usually will create a cascade of disruption throughout the body, to a greater or lesser extent. Thus, you may experience pain or limited mobility in your left shoulder – would you naturally suspect that the scar on your right foot might be contributory?

Here at Body in Harmony Training, we teach our students to think ‘full body’, looking at compensation patterns and reduced mobility in the context of the scarring.

Find out more about us, the work we do and the courses we run by visiting our website - https://www.bodyinharmony.org.uk/. Get ready to understand emotional responses to scar release and adapt your approach for different client needs and bodies.

Jan Trewartha (Teacher) and Carole Caplin (Assistant Teacher) are deeply experienced and love helping students achieve their potential.

What will I learn?
You will develop your skill in a small group, and advance your understanding of how the body responds to ScarWork and how to get the best from the tissue.

Why should I attend?
If there are blind spots in your knowledge. Or you may have had little practice so far, either through lack of opportunity or low confidence. Or you know that the best way to get really good at any skill is to just learn, learn, learn. Wherever you are in your evolution as a ScarWork therapist, this training day has been set up to help you break through whatever is holding you back, and to give you the know-how to move forward.

Have you been considering cosmetic surgery?

One of our most recent blogs explores both sides of the story - what people hope to gain, what they worry about, and how social pressure plays into the choice. What is rarely discussed is the potential effect of the scars and resulting adhesions after the surgery. If you’re considering cosmetic surgery (or are curious about someone else’s decision), this could give you some clarity.

❓ What risks are worth knowing about?
❓ How does surgery really affect not just how we look, but how we move, feel, and heal?
❓ How do we decide whether it's worth it?

If you want an honest, thoughtful take (written with compassion, not judgement), this blog is one to read. Visit https://www.bodyinharmony.org.uk/blog/the-pros-and-cons-of-cosmetic-surgery to read “The Pros and Cons of Cosmetic Surgery.”
