Scar Therapy - Massage & La Fontaine

 

Scar therapy is a targeted approach that helps soften, smooth, and improve the mobility of post-surgical or C-section scars. Using specialist techniques such as massage and La Fontaine.

 

Massage therapy, including myofascial release, plays a vital role in improving the healing and appearance of scars. By gently working through the layers of skin, fascia, and underlying tissue, these techniques help break down adhesions and restore mobility around the scar. This promotes smoother, more flexible tissue and can reduce discomfort, tightness, and sensitivity.

 

Key Benefits:

• Softens and flattens scar tissue

• Improves circulation and promotes natural healing

• Releases tight fascia and restores movement

• Reduces pain, itching, and restriction around the scar

 

La Fontaine, the treatment gently works through layers of tissue to release restrictions, reduce tightness, and improve the appearance and comfort of the scar. Over time, this therapy helps restore natural movement and reduces pain or sensitivity around the affected area.

• Releases tightness and discomfort around the scar site

• Encourages optimal tissue healing and regeneration

​

Regular treatment supports both the physical and aesthetic recovery of scar tissue, enhancing comfort and confidence as the body heals.
