Let’s talk about scar tissue, and how to make it disappear!

Healthy tissue has an organized, flexible pattern, scar tissue is laid down quickly and haphazardly.

This creates distinct differences in the tissue.

Structural Weakness: It is structurally weaker and less elastic than normal tissue.

Reduced Mobility: Because it clumps together in a disorganized crisscross pattern, it can harden, shrink, and restrict natural movement.

Visible Changes: Red, raised, puckered or stretched skin is common with visible scarring.

Massage can help break down scar tissue by breaking down deep adhesions, improve tissue flexibility, and increase blood flow.

It helps prevent stiffness, reduces pain, reduces redness and flattens raised scars.

It is NEVER too late! Massage can even improve mobility, reduce appearance and decrease tension in older, mature scars.

I’ve treated scars 6 weeks after they form and 40 years after they form! Your body Is always capable of healing. Let me remind it how!

Have a Onederful day!

🤲🏻 Therapy Thursday 🤲🏻

Does your trainer correct your rowing posture often? 🚣

If this happens to you regularly it may not be a lack of strength on your part, but over active or tense muscles stopping you from reaching your full potential with this exercise. 🏋🏻

It may be tight hamstrings, lats, shoulders or upper back muscles preventing you from getting the full benefit out of your rows. 💪🏻

If you are constantly getting this correction from your trainer book a massage online (link in bio) and let’s see if I can help you correct that posture. ☺️

Have a Onederful day!

🤲🏻 Last week on Therapy Thursday when I posted about the importance of massage PRE and POST operation, a patient I treated YEARS ago responded with the above comment. 🙏🏻

☝🏻☝🏻 This, is exactly why I do what I do! I LOVE knowing that what I can offer people helps them feel better, function normally again and in this case avoid life changing surgery. 💞

Thank you for trusting me to help you. 💖 It is the most fulfilling part of my career! ✨

Have a Onederful day!
