Oedema and scars after surgery or injury

Oedema and scars after surgery or injury is uploaded from my live on Facebook to promote Understanding Scars: Advanced online theory.

Today I have been talking about stiffness, contracture, scar adhesions. Considerations for early healing and mature scars. How can manual therapy help? Stretching, cupping, use of K-tape such as CureTape or RockTape to change tension all dynamics and stimulate the skin (covered on our Scar Therapy Practitioner course) or self scar massage.

Take note: Documentation for clients after injury and surgery

Have a drink! Hydration and scar tissue
It's standard practice to advise clients to drink plenty of fluids after therapy or exercise - but are you making sure they keep their skin hydrated after trauma?

Keep it up! Fluid build-up after trauma and surgery
Swelling is common in early healing, but can persist in some individuals, especially in the lower limbs. How can we use scar therapy to help ongoing swelling?

Mix it up! Using a varied approach to scar tissue treatment.
Are you doing the same few techniques again and again? What could more variety bring to transform your clinical practice (and improve results)?
