Scarwork & Craniosacral Therapy in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire
....You're in Capable Hands!
Scarwork is a gentle, hands-on therapy designed to improve the function and feel of scar tissue, whether from surgery, injury, or trauma. Using light yet effective touch, it helps to soften and integrate scars into the surrounding tissue, improving mobility, sensation, and circulation. Scars can create tension and restrictions deep within the body, and by releasing these, Scarwork can restore natural movement and ease.
This therapy is suitable for all types of scars, from recent surgical scars to long-standing ones. Many people find it not only enhances physical healing but also supports emotional release, as scars can hold memories of trauma within the body.
Craniosacral Therapy complements Scarwork beautifully by addressing deeper layers of restriction and tension in the body. It works with the nervous system to encourage the body’s own healing processes, relieving discomfort and restoring balance. Together, these therapies offer a gentle yet powerful way to support your body’s recovery, promoting lasting comfort and well-being.
Scarwork is a gentle yet powerful therapy that supports healing from a wide range of physical and emotional conditions. It can help with chronic pain, muscle tension, migraines, TMJ issues, and postural restrictions. Many people find relief from digestive disorders like IBS, reflux, and constipation, as well as respiratory issues such as sinus infections, hay fever, and tinnitus. Scarwork also supports neurological and mental health conditions, including anxiety, PTSD, ADD/ADHD, and autism, by helping to release stored trauma and tension within the body.
This therapy is beneficial for those recovering from surgery, injuries, or childbirth, improving mobility and circulation while reducing discomfort. It can also assist with fertility issues, menopause symptoms, chronic fatigue, and stress-related conditions. By restoring balance and ease, Scarwork helps the body function more optimally, promoting overall well-being.
Scarwork sessions are gentle, relaxing, and tailored to your individual needs. Using light touch techniques, I work directly on and around the scar to soften adhesions, improve mobility, and restore natural movement. Unlike deep tissue massage, Scarwork is pain-free and works subtly to encourage the body’s own healing response.
Sessions typically last between 45 to 60 minutes, and the number of treatments needed depends on the age, size, and depth of the scar, as well as how your body responds. Many people notice improvements in sensation, flexibility, and overall comfort after just a few sessions. Whether your scar is recent or years old, this therapy can bring lasting benefits to both your physical and emotional well-being.
