Why It Matters?
Scar therapy matters because scars can do more than mark the skin—they can restrict movement, cause pain, or affect how you feel in your body. By releasing tension and improving tissue health, scar therapy helps restore comfort, confidence, and freedom of movement.
What It Involves
Scar therapy typically involves gentle manual techniques to soften and mobilize the scar tissue, helping reduce tightness and discomfort. Myofascial release is often used to ease restrictions in the surrounding tissues, improving overall mobility and flexibility. Lymphatic drainage may also be applied to reduce swelling and support the body’s natural healing process. In some cases, guided stretching or movement exercises are introduced to restore range of motion and function. Throughout the session, soothing, intentional touch helps calm the nervous system, encouraging a deeper sense of connection and comfort within the body.
Who It’s For
Scar therapy is for anyone experiencing physical or emotional discomfort related to scar tissue. This includes individuals recovering from surgery, injuries, burns, or C-sections, as well as those with old scars that still feel tight, painful, or restrict movement. It’s also helpful for people who feel disconnected from areas of their body due to trauma or scarring, and are seeking gentle support to restore function and body awareness.
When To Begin
Scar therapy can typically begin once the wound is fully closed and healed—usually around 6 to 8 weeks post-injury or surgery. However, older scars can also benefit from treatment, even years later. It’s best to consult a therapist to assess when your body is ready, especially if your scar is still tender, raised, or restricting movement.
What Our Clients Are Saying
Our clients often speak about feeling safe, understood, and more at ease in their bodies after each session.
I started scar massage therapy after surgery and appreciated the careful, structured approach. Over time, the area felt less restricted, and my mobility improved. The treatment was clearly explained and tailored to my needs.
The therapist demonstrated strong knowledge of scar tissue and post-healing care. Each session was handled with care and precision, helping reduce tightness and discomfort. The process felt thoughtful and well managed.
Is it right for you?
If your scar feels tight, painful, or limits your movement, scar therapy can help restore comfort and mobility. It’s also beneficial if you’ve noticed lingering sensitivity, raised tissue, or emotional discomfort related to the scar. Whether your scar is recent or from years ago, therapy can aid in healing and improve your quality of life.
How soon after surgery can I start scar therapy? Wait until incisions are fully healed and closed—typically 6-8 weeks post-surgery. For C-sections, wait until your doctor clears you (usually 6-12 weeks). Older scars can benefit from treatment even years later.
Does scar massage hurt? Initial sessions may feel uncomfortable as we work through adhesions, but should never be painful. We start gently and gradually increase pressure as tissue responds. Many clients find it deeply relieving once restrictions release.
How many sessions will I need? Fresh scars (under 1 year): 6-10 sessions for significant improvement. Old scars (1+ years): 10-15 sessions as tissue is more established. Weekly sessions initially, then bi-weekly for maintenance.
