Use the title "Scar Therapy Massage Therapist"
Scar therapy massage is a specialist form of bodywork that focuses on the skin, fascia and soft tissues around scars. It uses gentle, specific techniques to help improve tissue mobility, reduce tightness and support comfort in the surrounding area.
Scars can sometimes feel tight, restricted, sensitive or uncomfortable. Scar therapy massage may help improve skin and soft tissue mobility, support desensitisation and help clients feel more comfortable with the affected area.
Scar therapy massage should only be performed once the scar has fully healed and there are no open wounds, infection, inflammation or medical concerns. Where there is any doubt, the client should seek medical clearance before treatment.
Yes. The course is practical and students will usually work with each other under tutor supervision. Where appropriate, practice will focus on safe technique, tissue handling and adapting pressure.
