Improve tissue mobility and support a gradual return to movement after a procedure.

Why address a scar in physiotherapy?
A scar does not always need treatment. An assessment may be useful when it affects comfort, mobility or function.
Tightness or stiffness
Local tightness can sometimes limit certain movements or positions.
Local sensitivity
The area may remain sensitive or uncomfortable with touch, movement or certain clothing.
Adhesions and mobility
Reduced glide between the skin and underlying tissues can be assessed in the context of your recovery.
After what types of procedures?
Scar treatment can be integrated into rehabilitation when appropriate and when healing allows safe intervention.
How physiotherapy can help
Treatment depends on your stage of healing, symptoms and goals. It can be combined with broader rehabilitation.
Assess the tissues
Assessment of the scar, local mobility and movements that reproduce restriction or discomfort.
Mobilize progressively
Scar and tissue mobilization techniques when appropriate and well tolerated.
Restore function
Exercises and movement progression to gradually return to daily activities, work or sport.
Scar treatment fits into your rehabilitation
Depending on your situation, local scar work can be combined with restoring mobility, strength and function.
