Softening the Past
Scar Tissue Therapy
Breaking down adhesions from surgery or injury to restore movement.
Understanding Scar Tissue Therapy
Scar tissue is the body's natural patch kit, but it's often stronger and less flexible than the original tissue. Whether from surgery, injury, or chronic inflammation, scar tissue can bind muscles, nerves, and fascia together, creating adhesions that restrict movement and cause pain—often far from the site of the scar itself. Our Scar Tissue Release therapy is designed to remodel this tissue, restoring flexibility and function.
Normal tissue fibers run in a uniform direction, like combed hair. Scar tissue forms in a chaotic, cross-hatched pattern, like a bird's nest. This random alignment makes it tough but inelastic. We use specific cross-fiber friction and myofascial release techniques to mechanically break down the chaotic fibers and encourage them to realign with the natural grain of the tissue. This improves range of motion and can reduce the appearance of surface scars.
Visible scars that feel tight or sensitive
Pain or pulling sensation during movement
Tenderness or pain in the shoulder, upper back, or arms
Restricted range of motion near an old injury
Numbness or altered sensation around a scar
Our Therapeutic Approach
We don't just chase symptoms. We use targeted modalities to address the source of
your tension.
Cross-Fiber Friction
Applying friction across the grain of the scar tissue to break down adhesions and realign fibers.
Myofascial Release
Stretching the fascia surrounding the scar to reduce tension on the entire area.
Cupping Therapy
Using suction cups to lift the tissue and separate the scar from underlying layers.
