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. Click the link in our bio for “The Pros and Cons of Cosmetic Surgery.”

Have you always had an interest in working with scars and adhesions, but never taken the leap to upskill to the next level?

Did you know that working with a client’s scars is vital to restoring their body’s normal internal balance, and has been known to relieve pain of unknown origin?

Are the fascia therapies you currently practise specific enough to deal with the potentially destructive ramifications of scarring?

We teach the Sharon Wheeler’s four-day ScarWork course in the UK and globally. The next course, in London this April, is oversubscribed. However, if you apply on the page link below, you can be added to the waiting list for our September course in West London, 6-9 September.

This in-person course will teach you how to work gently and effectively with scar tissue using Sharon Wheeler’s internationally recognised techniques. This training blends clinical skill with a trauma-aware approach to help restore the health and balance of scarred tissue, with all the associated emotional benefits, after surgery. Rather than ‘fixing’ scars, ScarWork invites the body to reconnect with its own innate ability to self heal.

Read more about ScarWork here - https://www.bodyinharmony.org.uk/fascia-training-courses/sharon-wheelers-scarwork-course. We look forward to sharing this light touch, transformative work with you.

Fascial Unwinding is a gentle yet powerful approach to working with one of the body’s connective tissues - the fascia - which surrounds and supports every muscle, organ and structure within us. It is an approach that blends well with any modality. Rather than trying to impose change or use force to free up fascial restrictions, this method invites the body to guide the therapist and the process. When training with us, through attentive, hands-on listening, practitioners learn to sense how the fascia responds, how it holds tension and patterning, and to facilitate its release.

By allowing these releases to unfold naturally, we help the body to a place of improved balance, ease, and flow, all at its own pace. Combined with energy awareness, also taught as part of the training, Fascial Unwinding becomes more than a physical technique; it is a practice in being present. We help you enhance your ability to “listen with your hands,” attuning to subtle rhythms and shifts that reveal what the body needs in each moment.

Instead of trying to “fix” or “correct” something, you learn to collaborate with the body’s innate intelligence. This respectful, responsive way of working leads to profound transformations — often affecting not just structural alignment, but also emotional and energetic well-being.

The result? Clients experience deeper and longer-lasting change, and you, as a practitioner, develop a stronger sense of trust in your own intuition, sensitivity, and touch. Fascial Unwinding becomes a shared exploration - a conversation between your awareness and the client’s body, where true healing can arise. You will also learn more about yourself, your health and how to help yourself let go of patterning that doesn’t serve you.

Our March course is oversubscribed but if you contact admin@bodyinharmony.org.uk and ask to go on the waiting list, you’ll be given first option to book when the next course is announced. We look forward to sharing this gentle, profound work with you.

You can now book your ticket for our next Special Event!

For those of you immersed in the world of movement and sport, and/or as therapists who want to do the best for your clients, you won’t want to miss our Special Event on Sunday 22nd March. We will be joined by elite athletes trainer Dr Wilbour Kelsick, with very special guests, Olympian athletes Phylicia George and Aaron Brown.

The online presentation and discussion will cover Competition Readiness in High Performance Sport: Preparing the Athlete for “The Grandstand” - How does Interpretation of 21st-Century Fascial Anatomy, Biotensegrity, Interoception and Integrated Care in High-Performance Athletes Inform the Decision–Making process of Therapist & Coaches in the Athlete’s Journey?

Competition readiness represents a critical intersection between health, performance and context. For clinicians, therapists and coaches decision-making in the post-recovery and pre-competition phases is often challenged by incomplete models that prioritize tissue healing while under-representing system behavior, sensory regulation, and competitive stress. This presentation introduces an applied, integrative framework grounded in modern fascial anatomy, biotensegrity, and interoception to support clearer readiness decisions in high-performance sport.

This unique event is not to be missed; open to all! Book your space here - https://bit.ly/TFH-SE-MAR.

We love this testimonial from a recent ScarWork course! We're very pleased that the scar model received so much from the students’ work.

We only have a couple of places left on April 17th - 20th at the next Sharon Wheeler's ScarWork course. Scars can and often do have a knock-on effect as the fascial restrictions they create, with the resultant tension and torsion, cascade throughout the fascial matrix, creating neural, muscular, skeletal and visceral issues, affecting functionality and range of movement as well as, inevitably, numerous other problems down to cellular level. This work helps to reverse that with the lightest of touch and focused awareness; it will change how you view the body and transform your clinical practice.

Fascia is a form of connective tissue that covers all the body’s structures down to cellular level. It is fully continuous (there are no ‘layers’ in the body), which means that what happens to fascia in one part of the body cannot but affect the fascia, and the structures it is covering, in other parts of the body. In our fascia-focused trainings we help the body to realign and rebalance.

Fascia is so much more than a covering and protection of the body’s internal structures. It is a three-dimensional web or matrix that connects every part of the body. When it is damaged it may create, for example, a ‘straitjacketed’ feeling of internal tension, restricted breathing, mobility and pain, not necessarily just where the injury is but somewhere that may appear totally unrelated.

Fascia, it is often cited, has a tensile strength of up to 2,000 lbs per square inch (~900 Kg) (Katake, 1961). Therefore, when it becomes damaged and restricted, a strong fascial pull may be created in the body – strong enough to pull joints, vertebrae and other structures out of balance.

Research is ongoing into further aspects of this fascinating tissue, such as its ability to communicate within the body and to respond to trauma. As time goes on we learn more and more about something which used to be disregarded and thought of as mere body ‘packaging’.

Any scar may look fine on top; it’s what’s happening underneath that matters.

Adhesions may form and pull joints and bones out of position. If you had an infection on the left side of the scar, this could contribute to a restriction in the left hip. If you carried your baby on the left hip, the fascia will probably have densified; that restriction can feed into the scar under the skin and cause more problems.

With Sharon Wheeler’s ScarWork, we work on the scar, but then it is ideal if the therapist is able to follow up with fascia work to clear the patterning. Once this is done, because the fascia connects every structure inside you, the internal balance of the whole body, not just local to the scar, starts to be restored, improving mobility and functionality.

A scar is rarely just a scar!
