Ways Restore therapy scar training can help you and your your clients

Our training courses will equip you to understand who will suffer from scars and adhesions, what causes scar complications, and how you should adjust your therapy or movement approach.

Release Tightness and Improve Appearance

RESTORE scar therapy teaches you how a combined approach of scar massage and home-care advice together with other tools will help improve the look and feel of tight scar tissue. Treatment can be beneficial on both new and old scars.

Reduce Sensitivity, Pain and Itching

Trapped nerves and irritated scar tissue can be a factor for prolonged discomfort. RESTORE scar massage and mobilisations can be applied to reduce pain. Stimulation of the area can normalise sensitivity, and use of scar creams, oils, silicone or gels can help itchy scars.

Help Restricted Mobility

You can learn how RESTORE scar therapy can be applied to reduce tightness and sticking in scar tissue. By encouraging mobility between the layers of skin, fascia and muscle, range and ease of movement can improve.

Understand the Impact of Scar Tissue

Learning about scars and adhesions will enable you to appreciate any wider impact on mobility and movement through the fascial system, so you can tailor your treatments to address the cause - not the symptoms.

Stimulate and Boost Healing

You may be familiar with massaging healthy tissue, but what about scar tissue? Scar massage is commonly recommended by surgeons because it will promote optimum scar healing after surgery and may minimise longer term complications, add RESTORE scar massage to your skill set.

Support Emotional Wellbeing

Therapeutic and holistic, RESTORE scar massage is a powerful way to aid emotional recovery and help your client accept their scars. Teaching your client how to care for their scar at home with simple self-scar massage is highly beneficial.
