I HAVE A SCAR

“The skin may have healed. The story underneath can be different.”

UNDERSTANDING SCARS

Scar tissue is often treated as the end of the story. But the tissues around a scar can continue to adapt long after the original wound has closed.
 

MSTR® was developed from decades of hands-on clinical experience, with an emphasis on gentle contact, careful observation and allowing tissues to change when they are ready.
