Scar Tissue is the fibrous connective tissue which forms a scar, this scar usually occurs when any tissue on the body, including skin and internal organs are damage from an injury, disease, cut or surgery has taken place. The body naturally wants to heal itself but cannot re-grow healthy skin or tissue, it puts together new fibers that are not as functional as the original tissue, just serve as a protective and useful barrier.
Scar Tissue is often thicker than the surrounding tissue, paler, and denser because it has a limited blood supply. Surgeries are available to remove scars, but any procedures will always make new scar, therefore it is not recommended for hypertonic or kelloid as there is the risk of recurrence and worse scarring.
The hand-on work of Massage by applying gentle with specific pressure and giving combination of appropriate modalities can help reduce adhesions, decrease pain, enhance soft tissue mobility without the risks of surgery or drugs.
