Scar tissue forms as a natural part of the healing process following traumatic injury, surgery, or inflammatory conditions. While essential for repair, scar tissue and adhesions can sometimes contribute to pain, restricted movement, and altered function. Scar massage is widely recommended—but what does best practice look like? How much pressure should you use? How often? For how long? Which techniques are most effective? And importantly, when is the right time to begin?
In this webinar, we will cover:
