Why Does Your Scar Still Hurt?
Healing isn't just skin deep. Even when a wound has healed on the surface, deep scarring tissue (fascia) can become stiff and form adhesions. This often manifests as:
- Numbness with weird sensations.
- Tightness with pulling discomfort.
- Restricted movement near the scar.
- Persistent pain months after surgery.
How Scar Myofascial Therapy Helps
This specialized treatment addresses both superficial and underlying scar tissue using fascial techniques and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Our approach includes:
- Manual Therapy & Manipulation: Gently releasing restrictions around the scar.
- Acupuncture & Cupping: Improving local circulation and easing tension.
- Customized Care: Tailored plans that may also include moxibustion to enhance tissue flexibility.
Most patients notice significant improvements, such as softer tissue and greater mobility, within 3–5 sessions.
