Scar mobilisation techniques can effectively promote the healing process and reduce the risk of long-term complications. By improving blood flow and breaking down scar tissue, healthy tissue growth is stimulated, and the risk of further scarring is reduced.
For example, a surgical patient may experience scarring and limited mobility around the incision site. Scar mobilisation techniques, such as massage and stretching, can reduce tightness and discomfort, allowing for improved healing and overall comfort. Stimulation of the area can also help to promote the regeneration of new healthy tissue, further reducing the risk of long-term complications.
In addition, scar mobilisation techniques can also help to reduce inflammation, which is a significant factor in scarring. Scar tissue is often caused by inflammation in the affected area, and by promoting healthy circulation and reducing inflammation, scar mobilisation techniques can help prevent the formation of new scar tissue.
