The Benefits of Scar Tissue Massage

Oct 01, 2024

What is Scar Tissue Massage?
Scar tissue massage is a therapeutic technique designed to help soften and break down the tough, fibrous tissue that forms during the healing process after an injury, surgery, or trauma. By gently massaging the scar, this technique promotes increased blood flow, flexibility, and mobility in the affected area.

Benefits of Scar Tissue Massage:

  •  Improves Mobility: By loosening the scar tissue, massage helps restore movement and flexibility, especially if the scar is limiting your range of motion.
  •  Reduces Pain and Discomfort: Regular massage can help relieve the sensitivity and discomfort often associated with scar tissue.
  •  Enhances Skin Appearance: Massage helps soften and flatten raised scars, making them less visible and improving the texture of the skin.
  •  Decreases Itching: Scar tissue massage can also reduce itching that sometimes occurs as the skin heals.

    For scar tissue Therapy to have the optimal results, it is required that the scar tissue is a minimum 8 weeks after surgery. There is no limit for how long you have had the scar for. At Gemstone, we have treated clients who have had their scar for 30 years and still get beneficial results.
