Post Surgical Therapeutic Bodywork

If you have recently had surgery, scar tissue is already forming.This scar tissue formation may have a major physiological impact on your body.As your body heals, fibrous connective tissue will be formed at the surgical site, contracting the wound, forming a scar.This scar tissue can spread into deeper layers of your body triggering your whole body to compensate for the restricted area.
Gentle therapeutic touch can be applied directly to the scar or tissue near it.This will encourage the breaking up of adhesions and help initiate the flow of nutrients into the area while pushing toxins out of the area.Myofascial and visceral techniques can be helpful in releasing restrictions in other areas of your body that may be compensating to help your body protect the surgical area.
If your surgery was a year ago or fifteen years ago, it is even more important to receive postsurgical bodywork.The initial scar may have spread, impacting other areas of your body.Do you have osteoarthritis of the knees?Often abdominal scars (C –sections) can spread, affecting the joints.Releasing scar tissue that is impacting a joint can provide relief for that joint
