At Active Physio we are passionate about scars….
Start you scar healing journey…
Scars are often the result of major or minor surgery, accidents or trauma. Through listening (and treating), many clients over the years, we understand that scars can affect your physical and mental health. This is why our treatments look at the whole person, not just one part. We are passionate about supporting you, reducing pain, pulling, tightness and the appearance of the scar.
Although a large focus of our clinic is pelvic health and pregnancy/post -natal care; we treat all sorts of scars. We treat scarring as a result of breast cancer treatment, breast reduction & breast augmentation, C-section surgery, hysterectomy and other abdominal surgeries, open heart surgery, orthopaedic surgery…... the list goes on!
How scar treatment works?
Every scar treatment plan we offer is different - because every person, scar, skin type and story is different. Your treatment will start with an in-depth consultation and will include a full assessment of you and your scar and we will select the best course of action to take for the most effective scar changes. We will then assess your movement; see how the scar restricts you, or how the scar changes as you move. We will then treat your scar using the following treatment therapies:
Manual scar massage techniques
Specialist scar equipment (such therapeutic ultrasound)
Acupuncture (if clinically indicated)
Taping (if clinically indicated)
Advice on scar products (such as gels, silicone sheets and oils)
Ciara has completed advanced scar treatment training with one of the UK’s leading scar management specialists Hannah Poulton at HLP Therapy in Leicester.
The training included the use of specialised devices such as LymphaTouch, R-Shock devices and Laser Therapy.
