Scar Tissue can impact the whole body in ways that are both seen and unseen;
Nervous system - scar tissue may restrict or compress nerve pathways altering sensation, causing pain and muscle weakness
Blood and Lymph system - scar tissue may inhibit the natural flow of blood and lymph supply in the body causing a change in the appearance of soft tissue, swelling and pain
Fascial system - scar tissue may inhibit the natural gliding function of our connective fascial system causing pain and changes in the way we move
Bio-mechanics - scar tissue may alter the natural or optimal functioning of our muscles, tendons and ligaments causing restriction to our range of motion and our ability to move, creating compensatory movement patterns and pain
Integumentary system - our skin, hair nails and glands. Scar tissue can affect the optimal functioning of our sweat glands, the natural protective barrier of our skin and our sensory receptors
Psychologically and emotionally - the look, appearance and feel of scars can have a significant impact on our self esteem, our ability to overcome trauma, our self worth and our mood. Scars can alter how connected or disconnected we feel within our own body, what we wear and our relationships
Energetic system - scar tissue can impede the natural flow of energy, through meridians in Traditional Chinese Medicine for example.

The images on our testimonial page are just some of the examples of possible outcomes for clients from around the world. Please note that not all outcomes are the same. Yes we can release scar tissue tension, and adhesions. Yes we can improve the look and feel of the scar. Yes we can improve your sensitivity, reduce numbness and improve range of motion. However, final results are subjective and personal to you, your scar, your body and your health.
When performed correctly by a qualified accredited practitioner, changes to your scar tissue using MSTR® are permanent.
