ScarWork Therapy
What is ScarWork Therapy?
ScarWork is a specialised therapeutic approach focused on improving the function and appearance of scars. This gentle and non-invasive technique involves manual manipulation of scar tissue to enhance its elasticity, reduce adhesions, and promote overall healing. Skilled therapists employ various hands-on gentle methods to address both the superficial and deeper layers of scar tissue.
Clients seeking ScarWork often have scars resulting from surgeries, injuries, or trauma. The approach is not only about physical changes but also aims to address the emotional aspects of scarring, fostering a positive relationship between individuals and their healed skin.
By promoting better circulation and flexibility in the scarred area, ScarWork contributes to minimizing pain, restoring mobility, and potentially improving the cosmetic appearance of the scar. The technique acknowledges the interconnectedness of the body and recognizes that scar tissue can impact surrounding structures.
ScarWork practitioners work collaboratively with clients, tailoring their approach to individual needs. This holistic method not only addresses the physical aspects of scarring but also supports emotional well-being, providing a comprehensive approach to scar rehabilitation.

“Amazing treatment! I had a lot of discomfort following a breast augmentation which also left me with build up of scar tissue. Lyn is amazing at releasing scar tissue instantly. After treatment my scars were dramatically softer and now I have no discomfort and pain. I’m so happy and I will be having regular treatments. I also have seen a great improvement with the fading of my dark scars. I would highly recommend.”
