Scarwork: Integrating Scar Tissue into the Fascial Web – 4 days

Scar tissue work uses a casual light touch and the work is rarely painful even for very new scars and the amount of change in one intervention is extensive.

Natural and surgical scars of any age respond immediately followed by a short period of rapid healing and continued improvement. Scar tissue quality changes quickly and easily. The work starts with the surface layers and goes into the far reaches of the scars. Scar work often results in large whole body integration shifts along with trauma resolution and nerve impaired numbness usually resolves within a session.

Working with scars is like speaking a different language in the world of connective tissue. Attention to detail, the perception of small increments of change, and a sense of humour are helpful in the study of scars.

Practitioners will learn the techniques well enough to take them home and use them the next day in their private practice. Scar work can fit seamlessly into an SI series or be used as a stand alone intervention session.
