Scar mobilisation techniques can be incredibly effective in promoting the healing process and reducing 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 patient who has undergone a surgical procedure may experience scarring and limited mobility around the incision site. Through scar mobilisation techniques, such as massage and stretching, the tightness and discomfort can be reduced, allowing for improved healing and overall comfort. The 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 to prevent the formation of new scar tissue.
