What is Restore Scar Therapy?
Restore Scar Therapy method is holistic, following clinical experience and available research, our method concepts are:
- Avoid excessive inflammation with gentle techniques. Research shows that inflammation can cause scar tissue to form. It can also lead to keloid and hypertrophic scars. After some surgeries or injuries, it can increase the risk of lymphoedema and axillary web syndrome (cording).
- Promote movement of the skin and the tissue under scars. Use manual soft tissue techniques for this. Research shows that scars can become stiff and stuck. Scar massage can help improve tissue health and reduce common symptoms. After radiotherapy and surgery, tissue remodelling occurs beyond the injured area.
- Treat sensitivity and neural function/disfunction: using different stimulus (light, deep and vibrational massage techniques) on the skin can promote sensory rehabilitation and restoration of nerve function. This is an approach commonly used in hand therapy and stroke rehabilitation.
- Promote circulation and lymphatic drainage: using specific manual stimulations to increase superficial blood supply and localised lymph flow. This improves soft tissue health and can reduce lymphoedema symptoms.
