Scar therapy is a non-invasive method of treating scars. Scar therapy can help stimulate the scar and underlying tissues through using gentle pressure and fascial techniques at the right pressure and pace to suit you .
This treatment will help reduce symptoms of :
- Pain , sensitivity, or numbness
- Limited movement or tightness
- Pulling or puckering
- Fibrous scar tissues or scar adhesions
Scar therapy can help with overall wellbeing and connection to your scar. Scar therapy is widely practiced in the UK and America but is a relatively new practice in Ireland and I am so excited to share my knowledge and passion for healing with you all .
