Scar Tissue Release Therapy
with William Burton, B.A., LMT, CMCE
9:30 am to 6 pm, 8 CE Hours, $175
for all dates visit the Listing of Courses by Subject
Many people, both therapists and clients, are unaware of just how much impact scar tissue can have on their bodies; on the surface, superficial, and/or deep. Other than if infected, health professionals have generally overlooked the physiological and psychological effects scar tissue can have on a person. However, as massage therapy and manual bodywork are coming more to the forefront in the healthcare world, it is becoming clear that restrictions in soft tissue, including scars, can directly affect muscles, fascia, nerve and circulatory pathways, and lymph flow, and that it can be a catalyst for many chronic conditions.
In this course we will learn what Scar Tissue is and how it is formed; learning both the good side of scar tissue along with the bad side. Looking at the soft tissue dysfunctions we will see where scar tissue falls in line with the healing process and if left untreated how it forms into more of a stubborn soft tissue dysfunction. Participants will learn the physiology of scar tissue, learning the stages of healing. Participants will also learn the different types of scars and their physiological and psychological effect(s) on the person. Then we will learn the different treatments that are used by many therapists to minimize if not totally rid the body of scar tissue. Class will include a demonstration of techniques used by massage therapists: Cross fiber friction, Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization, Myofascial Release, Active Release Technique, Soft Tissue Release, as well as Stretching and Cupping.
