ScarWork is a gentle, painless technique that restores functionality to scar tissue and improves visual appearance. Scars as young as six weeks or those that are many years old can be helped, whether they be from trauma or surgery. Common surgical scars we see that benefit from ScarWork include those from c-sections, cosmetic surgery, scoliosis correction, joint reconstructions and failed piercings, but any scar tissue can be addressed
Restoring functionality may result in changes to biomechanics. These can be helped with sports massage techniques to restore muscle balance. WKBM undertakes treatments sensitively and within your comfort zone, both from both physical and also psychological perspectives, as scars often carry significant emotional memories
Restores functionality to scar tissue – reduces restrictions at the full depth of the scar, helping mobility
Improves biomechanics – internal adhesions from scars can cause biomechanical restriction. Easing those restrictions allows movement both at the affected site and other areas
Improves visual appearance – the aesthetic appearance of a scar can be improved
