About
Scarwork treatment is used to improve the health and feel of scars. It is suitable for any type of scar regardless of its age, location or cause, whether due to surgery, accident or trauma.
Through the application of gentle and specific techniques directly to the scar and to the surrounding areas, the body is stimulated to continue the healing process. Improvement after treatment seems to be lasting and even single sessions can be helpful.
Scarwork can either be incorporated into other massage sessions or be a stand alone treatment
