Producing scar tissue is a normal function of our body’s response to trauma. The problem is that this mending process also leaves behind tension, restriction and disorganization. As scar tissue matures, it begins to pull and drag on other surrounding tissues, and can sometimes create further complications in the area of a scar, or even farther from it. For example, abdominal adhesions can sometimes interfere with normal peristaltic action of the colon which can later lead to an obstructed bowel.

ScarWork, as an intervention or preventative approach

• Reduces swelling, tightness and numbing

• Improves general overall tissue function

• Helps restore natural appearance

• Is fast, painless and permanent

ScarWork uses a very light touch and is rarely painful. The amount of change in one intervention is often extensive. Lumps, gaps, ridges, holes, bumps, knots, and strings in the tissue rapidly smooth out into the surrounding three-dimensional fascial web. ScarWork starts with surface layers and eventually goes further into involved viscera which often reduces nerve-impaired numbness.

Beyond relief with local restrictions, clients have also reported results that include whole-body shifts and trauma resolution.
