Scar Work

Scar Work Alresford

Sharon Wheeler’s ScarWork (TM) is a light touch therapy and you should be completely comfortable during treatment.

It’s a new treatment which has been taught in the US since 2012 and more recently in the UK. It aims to change the quality of a scar liberating it to reconnect with the 3-D web of connective tissue (fascia) again.

Studies have found that light stretch and compression stimulates the release of collagenase reducing the potential for excess collagen formation or fibrosis. Drainage of excess fluid with pumping and sweeping actions trigger anti-inflammatory and hydrating actions helping promote healthier less inflamed tissues.
