I am excited to be running another Kinesio® Taping Foundations Course in Cambridge next February. I know that this course like the previous ones will introduce the participants to a world of taping that they didn't know existed - the very light epidermis taping for nerve pain and the 75% tension for Ligament issues.

If you are a Therapist, or the therapist you know uses elastic therapeutic tape and wants to be able to use it correctly then this is the course to take

I am looking forward to teaching how to "Tape with Wisdom"

A very important part of my clinic is the Scar Rehabilitation Therapy treatments that I do. I have been studying Scars and their impact for the last 10 years or so. I have learnt so much about the body's ability to accept and compensate a change in the skin, fascia and ulitmatelt muscle and other tissues.
However my journey with scars is a very long and special one. I have had scars since I was in a car accident at the age of 7. I wear these scars with an air of comfortable. They are on show for everyoine to see and not many see them. I remember the uncomfortable feelings and the itchiness and pulling at my face.
My other 2 scars are deeply important to me. The result of 2 emergency C sections. The joy of bringing my 2 kids into this world mingled with the emotions of all that comes with the words and realities of C sections. I wear these scars with total pride. But not always. It has taken me many years to find peace with them. The feeling of numbness and pulling, the change in my body's ability to move and flow. The change in my appearance. The Pouch!

Ultimately this is what drew me to looking for answers for myself and my many clients who live with the results of having a scar.

Each scar has its story - some exceptionately funny and others very sad. Some are just there with no emotional story. My job is to help mend the gaps.

To release the layers of tissue from the tissue and structure underneath in a way that is gentle but encouraging. To bring the layers together that have pulled apart. To hold space for the emotions and walk alongside the stories. To bring feeling to the numbness and to dull down the pain.

The influence of a scar is not just the scar itself, it is the tissue around that was pulled back in an operation or grazed deeply in a crash. Its influence is also the area around that swelled and then came back to "normal" or still retains the fluid above the scar. It is the pull of tissue to the left and right of the scar or even the shoulder pain that comes from tissue being pulled from a C section or abdominal surgery.

It doesn't matter how long ago the scar was formed. I have seen 70 year old scars released and the improvement in shoulder and arm mobility be amazing.

For me, it is a priviledge to be allowed to work with a scar. I know that my journey to heal my scars has been so special for myself and I am proud to be able to help others on their journey.

I love this information in the tongue. I see so much impact from the tongue to the rest of the body and the head. For all of my clients who I have talked endlessly about the tongue, this might make things a bit clearer. See everyone in September. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1Bm1SvNuCQ/
