Burn scars, in particular, have a very deep physical & emotional impact on the burn survivor. Massage therapy and Myofascial Scar Release can profoundly help in the healing of both the physical & emotional scars by offering gentle, nurturing touch to the traumatized client and their traumatized tissues. Research has shown that massage can soften and thin the scarred tissue, lessen pain & itching, increase mobility, and decrease depression, anxiety & anger.
