Burn Scar TherapyKate has been working with members of The Burn Survivors of New England support group to bring the healing benefits of myofascial scar release to the burn community. Myofascial Scar Release, in combination with Manual Lymph Drainage, Craniosacral Therapy, and Therapeutic Massage is very effective in enhancing the physical and emotional healing of burn scars.
Myofascial Scar Release helps decrease the thickness and increase the pliability of burn scars resulting in an increased range of motion, and reduced pain and itching. Manual Lymph Drainage helps restore efficiency to the body’s lymph system, most of which lies under the skin and is therefore damaged with a burn injury. The lymph system is important in carrying away excess fluid and debris, thus enhancing the healing process. Craniosacral Therapy is helpful in treating the effects of trauma after a burn injury and the continued surgeries that are common with a burn injury. It is a light touch therapy that helps to calm the "fight or flight" response and restore normalcy to your whole body. It can be helpful in treating PTSD, anxiety, depression, anger, digestive issues, insomnia, cognitive difficulties and more Therapeutic Massage is the soothing and very important moisturizing last step of the Burn Scar Therapy protocol. Research shows that Therapeutic Massage has been proven to be effective for burn survivors by decreasing pain and itching, and increasing mobility and range of motion. Research has also shown that massage is beneficial by decreasing depression, anger and anxiety, and improving mood. |
Testimonials"I already noticed a decrease in tightness and redness of my burn scars from just the first session." - Sara M, Saugus, MA "I credit the burn scar therapy for how good my burn looks. Not a doubt in my mind that its due to the burn scar therapy. The swelling and scarring has gone down, it takes away the pulling sensation, and it makes movement less painful." - Richard M, Natick, MA "After seeing Kate I realize what has always been 'normal' for me doesn't have to be. I can actually be much more comfortable! My legs were burned as a child many years ago. Her work on my legs has been AMAZING! My legs don't swell like they used to... especially my ankles, and I feel like I have better flexibility in my ankles. I have an area on my leg that was so sensitive, people could never touch it. Kate and her gentle healing hands has changed that for me. Seeing Kate has been life changing for me!" - Kathy W, Malden, MA "I suffered extensive burn injuries over 75% of my body. Kate and her interns were a pleasure to work with and the end results of regular therapy with them were increased mobility, improved circulation and less itchiness, numbness and sensitivity. I no longer needed to take my Gabapentin, a pain medication, after 5 months of treatment!" - Jim K, Dedham, MA |
