Do you have a scar resulting from surgery, accident, burn or trauma?
Are you concerned about restrictions, pain, appearance, and sensitivity resulting from your scar?
I work with you to devise a personalised recovery plan to address the discomfort you are experiencing due to your scar. At your initial consultation I will actively listen to you, observe movement and palpate (assessing by touch) your scar and surrounding tissue. This enables me to select a combination of specialist scar massage techniques to address the wide range of symptoms that you may be experiencing.
These may include; pain and discomfort, restricted mobility, tightness, numbness, hypersensitivity, itching and swelling.
Scar therapy is a non-invasive gentle treatment. The techniques I use focus on mobilising, lifting the tissue and gentle stretching. Throughout the treatment I will check in with you regarding how you are feeling to ensure you are comfortable and having a positive response. We will also discuss self-care strategies for you to use at home to further support your ongoing recovery and healing.
Are you concerned about your scar? Are you keen to ensure your recovery is optimal? Are you worried about tightness, redness, pain or itching?

I first met Alison having put my lower back ‘out’, I was in excruciating pain, I could barely walk. Her therapy was excellent my lower back had vastly improved after some days of intense treatment. Since then I keep regular monthly appointments and I haven’t had any more problems. Highly recommended.
