'Scar Tissue, Why it shouldn't be ignored.'
More about why scar treatment is so important.
There are so many reasons why the effective treatment of scar tissue is so important. And as a healthcare professional, all these reasons should be of interest to you!
One of the most important pieces of research on the subject was conducted by Karl Lewit MD and Sarka Olsanska in their report entitled Clinical Importance of Active Scars: Abnormal scars as a cause of myofascial pain.
Lewit and Olsanska concluded:
"If the scar is...untreated,
it may be the cause of therapeutic failure and recurrence."
This profound statement is the singular most important reason why it is important to know how to effectively treat scar tissue.
What does this mean for you, the practitioner?
If scar tissue is creating any impact on the surrounding tissues and structures, and remains unaddressed, there is a high probability that your treatment outcome will be either ineffective or only partially effective.
If you have to repeatedly re-treat that same client week in, week out - check to see if there are any scars (or even fibrous tissue) that could account for the inability of your work to be sustained.
Bio-tensegrity model
The interconnected and continual 'webbing' of fascia may be interrupted by a scar. The fibrous and tightly bound collagen fibres of the scar inhibit free movement in the same way a tight shirt can restrict your movement.
The scar can even be remote from the problem area and asymptomatic. For example, a scar from appendix surgery can cause shoulder restrictions or low back discomfort. A scar on the toe or foot can affect hip, knee and low back function. A wide range of bio-mechanical restrictions can be caused by scars and unlocked with MSTR® work.
Bio-energetic model
The energy pathways described in Traditional Chinese Medicine (called 'meridians') are interrupted by scarring. The inhibit the flow of Qi (Chi). The importance of the flow of Qi is essential in Traditional Chinese Medicine and is a major fundamental component of health.
If we take one example of a very common surgery, a transverse C-section, can interrupt perhaps 5 or 6 different energy pathways.
From case study reports we know other health problems, such as acid reflux or other gastric problems, can improve from the treatment of the C-section. Other improvements can include bowel disorders and headaches - all from treating the C-section scar.
Emotional and psychological effects
Some scars (especially those from trauma) can be particularly distressful to some people. They may not like their scar. They may not want to even touch it. Their scar represents the event that created that scar.
The scar may bring up feelings of fear, anger, hate, disgust, self-image problems and so forth. Even feelings of worthlessness can be associated with that scar.
One of the most outstanding things that MSTR® treatment can provide is an eradication of those long-held feelings. How does that work?
It seems that as the scar itself normalises (as feelings return to the scar, fibrous tissue softens and it begins to feel 'natural' again) then those negative emotions also start to recede. We have many examples and experiences where all those feelings simply start to disappear as the scar feels to integrate and become a part of the 'whole' again.
All these reasons - and more - mean that you really shouldn't ignore the effects of scars.
Now you can learn how to address those scars effectively and efficiently.

"I have found MSTR® immensely and immediately effective. It has levelled up my practise.
This simple and painless technique improves appearance of scars, relieves local pain, improves circulation and lymphatic drainage. Surprisingly, MSTR® can relieve seemingly unrelated distal muscle tension, locked limbs and powerful trapped emotions too."
