What is Burn Scar Therapy?
|
Burn Scar Therapy is so much more than massage.It's working with the lymph system to get fluids moving to enhance healing. By carrying away the debris, the lymph system makes room for the nutrients needed for healing. It's working with the central nervous system to "turn down" the flight or fright response and "turn up" the rest and digest! It's gently working with the scar tissue to decrease the thickness and help it be more pliable for better range of motion and ease of movement. And lastly, it is therapeutic massage which has been shown to decrease pain and itching, increase range of motion, decrease depression and anxiety, and enhance mood.
