Course FAQ’s

The Scar Therapy Practitioner is the course designed for practitioners who see a variety of clients in their clinic. In attending this course, you’ll still learn about c-sections and cancer scars (just not in so much depth than a specialist course). The Scar Therapy Practitioner is a good general course for anyone looking to add scar massage and fascial release for scar tissue into their clinic, and will give skills to help improve scars.

If you mostly have certain types of clients, a specialist course may suit you better. In these courses, we specifically concentrate on one specialist area. However, you can translate the information and apply the techniques to treat other scars after completion.

If you choose to attend multiple courses, you will refine your skills and techniques each time, whilst looking at how to adapt your skills for different surgery types and locations. I have made it so you can easily jump on at any course, and so if you want to come back and concentrate more specifically on extra ways to help cancer scars or c-sections, then you can grow and develop further. Each course is unique and the supervised clinic sessions mean that you will be getting ‘hands-on’ and treating members of the public to improve their scars each time.

To attend any course, you need a professional physical therapy qualification (minimum level 3) and a years’ experience. This can include (but is not limited to):

  • Massage Therapist
  • Physiotherapist
  • Osteopath
  • Chiropractor
  • Acupuncturist
  • Cranial Therapist
  • Fascial and Myofascial Therapist
  • Women’s Health Specialist
  • Occupational Therapy

Ann Bryan

Oncology Physiotherapist, Marie Curie Hampstead

“The ScarWork taster session with Emma was perfect for learning – theory in the morning then practical with willing models (very grateful to work on ‘real’ patients). The theory is well taught, interesting and immediately usable. Being corrected as we worked with patients meant the new movements have stuck. I have used the techniques alongside and independently of the ones I know already and have achieved rapid change. Would definitely recommend the course & techniques.”

Cherie Howe

Complementary Therapist, Guy's Hospital

“ This was by far and away my favourite course I’ve done with Restore Therapy, especially the techniques. They will be applicable for me to a wider range of issues, I’ve already used them on a scar with good results. It’s great to have the pre-course (learning) available on line before the course starts, and I especially enjoy the tests as it makes much more time for hands-on work in class.”
