BREAST HEALTH

This educational session is intended to promote lifelong optimal breast health through self treatment and to familiarize yourself with your breast tissue so you will be much more aware of any changes. You will learn how to perform a thorough visual and manual breast exam, as well as breast lymphatic massage. A shorter follow-up visit may be scheduled to review the material and make sure that you are totally comfortable with the process.

Approximately 1 in 8 women and 1 in 800 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer. We can minimize that risk by making healthy lifestyle changes and promoting healthy breast tissue!

Scar formation occurs in the third phase of Wound Healing, known as the Proliferation Phase. This rebuilding process starts 4 days after the wound occurs and can last for up to 24 days. This phase starts with filling in the wound with cells that form new tissue known as granulation tissue, which pulls the outside edges of the wound together and is uneven in texture. Your body also forms new blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to the wound, which causes redness in the scar. The last part of this phase involves layering the wound with epithelial cells, which are the skin cells that cover the surface of your body.

The next phase, the Remodeling Phase, starts around day 24 and can last up to 2 years. The goal of this phase is to strengthen and repair the wound. Your body removes cells that are no longer needed for healing, and the tissue becomes stronger. Your scar will likely fade in color and flatten out. Healed wounds are not as strong as healthy skin. They generally have about 70% of the function of normal tissue.

Manual therapy can begin when the wound is fully healed and shows no signs of infection, usually around 8 weeks. Some very light and gentle manual and mobilization techniques can be applied to your scar and surrounding area once the scab falls off, and it’s also very important to keep your scar well hydrated with a good quality moisturizer (no chemicals or fragrances) for optimal healing. Silicone patches are also recommended to prevent the scar from losing moisture.

And remember…it’s NEVER TOO LATE to treat scar tissue!

Came across this photo today in an MFR group, and it made me feel some kind of way, so I had to share.

Every scar has a story. Having pride in your scar and its story is wonderful! It is okay to be proud of your scar and also realize the impact it can have on your body.

Scars cause stress and interfere with EVERY SYSTEM in your body. They can impact your nervous system, musculoskeletal system, blood and lymph flow, and even organ function.

You do not have to suffer with the negative impacts of your scar. What's your story? Let's take it to the next level!
