Alastair McLoughlin is the designer and creator of the McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release® technique.

​

Alastair began his career in healthcare in the early 1980’s when he qualified as a remedial massage therapist with the Northern Institute of Massage.

​

He later trained in Bowen Technique and in 1997 became the UK’s senior instructor for The Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia. He became a Life Member of The Bowen Association (UK) in recognition for his work.  He is also an Honorary Member of The London and Counties Society of Physiologists.

​

In his career Alastair has developed many bodywork techniques which he has taught as an independent international teacher since 2011. See more…

​

His scar work (abbreviated to MSTR®) is just one of many bodywork techniques he created. MSTR® is quickly gaining recognition as an important technique for the treatment of post surgical and trauma wound scars. 

​

Alastair has formed an international teaching team of 20 instructors to take his work to the 24 countries in which MSTR® is now available. Besides English, MSTR® training is also available in Croatian, Dutch, German, Italian, Slovenian, Spanish and Swedish.

​

Research undertaken in June 2019 at The Newcastle Clinic (UK) has created much interest in MSTR® and further research will be undertaken late in 2019 to validate the initial research results on C-section scars.

British born, Alastair now lives and works in Germany.
