Treating Scar Tissue with Myofascial Release
A scar is like an iceberg—what you see on the surface may appear small, but depending on the type of surgery, it can extend deep into the tissues and have far-reaching effects. Even if a scar looks smooth and healed externally, underlying scar tissue can continue to affect your body long after the injury or surgery has occurred.
Scar tissue doesn’t just stay at the surface; it can adhere to muscles, bones, and organs, creating hidden tension and pulling on surrounding structures. This can lead to chronic pain, restricted movement, and discomfort in areas far from the original injury.
Even if you’ve forgotten about a past injury or surgery, its lingering effects may still be influencing your body. It’s worth exploring whether scar tissue is playing a role in your current discomfort. Myofascial release therapy can help by breaking down adhesions, restoring flexibility, and reducing pain related to scar tissue and whether it’s from a recent procedure or something that happened years ago.
If you’re in Kelowna and dealing with lingering pulls or strains from a past surgery, don’t hesitate to reach out and see how myofascial release can help.
