Oncology Restore Scar Therapy
Undergoing any form of oncology treatment is highly stressful and presents several challenges and considerations. If surgery is required, Restore Scar Therapy is a safe, gentle and suitable treatment to aid your recovery alongside your current treatment. For those with a historic scar from oncology treatment or surgery, these gentle treatments may improve range of movement, sensory dysfunction, appearance and reduce pain levels.
Treatment may be beneficial if you are experiencing:
Specialist scar massage and stretch techniques have been developed to assist with scar tissue and fibrosis created by surgery and radiotherapy. Advice on self-scar care is also provided to support healing at home.
An appointment should ideally be booked within the first 12 months while the scar is more active and not yet fully mature. However, it is never to late to seek help with scar tissue and old scars can also respond to treatment. Each appointment will be personalised to your needs and symptoms.
MSTR® (McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release®) - Scar Massage
If you experience tension, numbness, tingling, altered sensation, fluid congestion, pulling or pain around an injury site, it may be due to scar tissue. Treatment to your scar is vital.
Scars can have a huge influence on our presenting problems. They can inhibit joint movement, weaken muscular strength, restrict fascia, reduce blood and lymph flow. Nerves and vessels are disrupted. Fluid flow becomes congested. Swelling can show up years after surgery. Bad memories and emotions can be locked into these scars. The body adapts but remains stressed.
MSTR® (McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release®) is a proven, gentle and highly effective technique for the release of scar tissue and muscle adhesions.
Gentle, finger-tip pressure is applied to the area to help free the restrictions in the scar. This helps improve nerve, blood and lymph flow, mobility, flexibility and function in areas affected by scarring. No force is involved and the work is always applied within your tolerance.
MSTR® is suitable for post-surgical scars such as:
MSTR® is usually effective in 2-4 treatments depending on the scar. Scars need to be 8 weeks post-surgery and fully healed. Scars can be 20+ years old and still have profound changes after treatment.
MSTR® can be a standalone treatment or in conjection with other therapeutic therapies.
