ScarWork, according to the creator of the method, Sharon Wheeler, is the art of integrating scars with the fascial network.

The aim of the training is to examine and treat all types of scars based on the manual techniques of the ScarWork method.

Our 4-day training includes a wealth of hands-on practice, during which you'll learn scar management techniques—first on yourself, and then, in the following days, applying them to your patients. Theoretical lectures cover the latest knowledge on scar formation, treatment, and rehabilitation. This training method allows you to quickly learn about different types of scars and observe their changes during and after treatment.

Advantages of the ScarWork method:

The ScarWork method can be used regardless of the time of scar formation, using appropriate principles and techniques.

This therapy can be used for all types of scars: after surgery, accidents, burns, radiation and others.

By performing scar therapy, we reduce tension within the scar and increase the range of motion between the skin, subcutaneous tissue, fat, fascia, and muscles. This improves the range of joint movement and tissue function in the area surrounding the scar.

The techniques used are painless for patients and easy for therapists to perform and do not burden their hands.

Scarwork therapy helps reduce pain and normalizes superficial sensation, both in hyperesthesia and hypoesthesia.

Under the influence of the techniques performed, the color of the scar changes, and patients after the therapy notice that their scars become softer to the touch and smoother.

The effects of working with scars can be observed after just one treatment, but to ensure long-lasting results it is better to undergo a series of treatments.

Ultrasound examinations show that the tissues subjected to therapy are arranged in a more regular manner, maintaining a layered arrangement.

ScarWork – working method

This method does not use any additional tools, oils, or creams. Approximately 25 techniques are employed. Some of these are used to mobilize superficial tissues, others to mobilize deeper tissues, and some are specifically designed for specific types of scars. One of the principles of this work is to assess the impact of the scar on the entire body, in static and dynamic conditions. Functional tests before and after therapy demonstrate how scar treatment improves function. This method also includes techniques for specific types of scars.
