Do you have scars that bother you visually?
Scar tissue always forms after surgical procedures or injuries. Scar tissue, also known as granulation tissue, is not of the same quality as the original tissue. It often appears retracted and has a harder texture. It can be painful or numb.
The healing process and the quality of the scar can be positively influenced very early on through gentle, manual therapy.
If a scar is left untreated, it heals after a certain period of time, and often no problems arise with it.
However, there are also scars that are painful, retracted, tense, intensely reddened, sensitive to weather changes, or that itch, sting, or burn, seemingly without any reason.
Often, all sorts of scar creams have already been used without any effect.
Scars can represent an energetic blockage. Treatment with the metal rod used in acupuncture meridian massage can energetically release these blockages in the scar tissue according to its principles. This allows energy to flow freely again in the meridians, and the symptoms can disappear or at least be significantly alleviated.
Furthermore, elements of manual lymphatic drainage are found in manual scar treatment, as the thin lymphatic vessels are often unable to penetrate the hard granulation tissue of the scar, leading to swelling in the connective tissue. With the appropriate manual techniques, this swelling can be reduced.
