RESTORE Scar Therapy is a non-invasive physical therapy developed to treat scar tissue, fibrosis and adhesions following surgery, procedures, injuries and burns. Used within the NHS and leading private healthcare providers, it is a gentle treatment with great results!

Sarah completed her training under Emma Holly, one of the UK's leading scar tissue therapists and an international speaker and educator on the subject.

Scar massage is considered an effective way to decrease scar tissue build up and help make scars less noticeable. It works by stimulating change

to scar tissue on the skin's surface and to adhesions or fibrosis in the underlying tissue and is suitable for both body and face.

Treatment can help reduce symptoms such as:

Pain, sensitivity or numbness
Limited movement or tightness
Pulling or puckering

Scar therapy can usually begin once all the scabs from an injury are gone.

Ideally, scar therapy can start around 6-14 weeks after a surgery, though if it's a serious injury or major surgery, you may be asked to check with your Consultant before starting treatment.

Included in your appointment will be:

A special scar massage - at the right pace and pressure to suit you.

Advice for caring for your scar at home.

Your general wellbeing will also be supported with the knowledge behind my existing physical therapy skills.

You can combine your Scar Therapy treatment with an acupuncture session, or have this as a standalone treatment.

Please don't worry. I understand that talking about the experiences surrounding your scar may generate emotional feelings.

I have my own scars, with their own stories and will do all I can to put you at ease during your treatment.

A RESTORE Scar Therapy appointment would ideally be booked by the first 6-12 months after an injury or surgery (even if you are not experiencing any unwanted complications). HOWEVER, treatment is effective in older scars too and it's never too late for them to improve.
