The techniques used in Scar Therapy, or Scar Massage, differ significantly from those employed in Sports or Deep Tissue Massage. Unlike traditional massages, Scar Therapy is often performed without oils or creams, and the touch is much lighter, almost feather-like and gentle. This pain-free approach helps the scar tissue integrate with the surrounding healthy tissue, promoting fluid exchange and hydration at the scar site. It works to smooth out lumps and fill in dips, alters the structure of adhesions, and encourages greater movement in areas restricted by tight, stressed scars within the fascial network. During the treatment, it might be appropriate to incorporate techniques such as IASTM (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation), cupping, and taping. For more advanced cases, devices like DOT (Deep Oscillation Therapy) or the LymphaTouch may be recommended. ​Whether accidental or planned, General Scar Therapy addresses scars caused by a variety of factors, including accidents, injuries, surgeries burns, and other types of trauma. This includes a wide range of scars, such as those from dog bites, mole removals, road traffic accidents joint replacements, surgical procedures, and burn injuries sites and graft sites.  By focusing on the specific needs of each scar, patients often report noticeable improvements, including softer scar tissue, reduced localised pain, decreased restrictions, increased mobility, and an overall improved appearance of the scar and its surrounding area.
