SCARWORK
If you have a scar, new or old that hurts or restricts your natural movement, then ScarWork could be for you.
Few people in the UK are qualified in ScarWork, a light touch method for reintegrating scars. This method improves mobility and flexibility of the tissues and can improve its appearance . Suitable for scars of any size or age that are causing problems, including:
- Ceasarian section scars
- Inguinal hernia repair scars
- Appendicectomy scars
- Joint replacement scars
- Surgical scars
- Accidental scars (from trauma or burns)
Some ScarWorkers are also investigating whether this work can help fibromatosis conditions - Dupuytrens contracture, Lederhose etc.
Sharon Wheeler, a Rolfer in the US who studied directly with Ida Rolf has developed this method of scar mobilisation over the past 40 years.
