Scar tissue can have a deep hold within your body, potentially limiting range of motion, or blocking nerve sensation so that you can't feel an area on or around your scar, or sometimes that area just feels "different." Integrating scar tissue back into the body can provide freedom, and sometimes it is freedom you did not know that you were missing. Most scars will respond to this work, regardless of the age of the scar.
Sharon Wheeler describes scar tissue as very dense fascia with unique properties.
ScarWork uses a casual, light touch, a little reminiscent of working with bread dough. The work is rarely painful, even for new scars, and the amount of change in one intervention can be extensive. The cosmetic effect is delightful and the functional changes can be profound.
Natural and surgical scars of any age respond immediately followed by a short period of rapid healing and continued improvement.
