ScarWork
ScarWork uses a light, casual touch, is rarely painful, and the amount of change in one intervention is extensive.
ScarWork, as an intervention therapy:
Reduces swelling, tightness and numbing
Improves general overall tissue function
Helps restore natural appearance
Is fast, painless and permanent
Is gynecologist and dermatologist recommended
Producing scar tissue is a normal part of our body's response to trauma.
The problem is that the substance which mends also leaves behind tension, restriction and disorganization.
As scar tissue matures it begins to pull and drag on surrounding areas and even organs can also be affected.
With this type of ScarWork we see lumps, gaps, ridges, holes, bumps, knots, and strings in the tissue rapidly smooth out into a three dimensional fascial web.
Starting with surface layers, going further into involved viscera which often reduces nerve-impaired numbness and results in large, whole-body shifts and trauma resolution.
“ScarWork” is a modality based on the techniques created by Sharon Wheeler who trained directly with Dr. Ida Rolf (founder of Structural Integration). Sharon has been researching and evolving ScarWork for the past 45 years. She is the co-author of the book Scars, Adhesions and the Biotensegral Body.
