A scar can be physical and mental disruption to our body. Known symptoms can be itching sensations, pain or psychological discomfort and can occur even years after the cause. This method is an essential part of the post-surgical/post-trauma therapy.

The goal of this treatment is to improve the healing process of the wound, to form a soft and flexible scar tissue, to prevent adhesions and to process any mental or emotional strain. Symptoms such as pain or sensitivity disorders can be treated with this therapy.

After operations it is very important to treat these areas with a combination of scar treatment and manual lymphatic drainage. This will prevent shrinking and pulling of the scar tissue and any connected limitation of mobility.

Prior to the treatment there will be a consultation to clarify the patients’ individual needs and to create a personalized therapy.

Indications:

• After operations due to fractures, muscles, tendons or ligaments
• After operations due to cancer or other illnesses
• After injuries
• After giving birth by c-section
• After operations for plastic surgery
• With old and disturbing scars
• and more….

The main function of the lymphatic system is to absorb and drain excess fluid from the intercellular space and transporting it back into the blood circulation. A dysfunction in this drainage system can occur after injuries, operations or even from genetic disorders. This results in excessive fluids in the tissues and this condition is commonly known as oedema (swelling).

This treatment reduces swellings so that the healing process of wounds and scars is accelerated, pain is reduced and the movement in affected joints and body areas is regained.

Manual lymphatic drainage is a very relaxing and soothing therapy and also activates the immune system.

Indications:

• After operations
• After acute injuries
• Chronic lymphoedema
• Oedema during pregnancy
• After dental operations (for example removal of wisdom teeth)
• PMS (Oedema before and during the menstrual cycle)
• Whiplash syndrome
• Headhache
• Chronic sinusitis
• Disorders in the digestive system
• Faster regeneration after sports
• In combination with scar therapy
• And more…

Swellings with unknown origin have to be consulted with a doctor prior your treatment.

Systemic Scar Therapy, developed by David Boeger, provides a technique for both diagnosing and therapeutically releasing scars and inflammation-related adhesions as part of physiotherapy. The release of visible and invisible scar tissue is successful regardless of age, size, depth and type of scar. Once the scars and adhesions are released with Manual Scar Therapy, the patient can free himself from his protective posture. The technique in Systemic Scar Therapy is individually adapted to the patient’s connective tissue. After only a few minutes, it is already possible to check whether the chosen method brings the desired success. The result can be felt and measured immediately by both patient and therapist.

The term “massage” is understood as a mechanical, usually performed manually, treatment of the skin, connective tissues and muscles. The classical massage is the most frequently used form of manual therapy and is used mainly for prevention and treatment of issues related to the musculo-skeletal system.

Using the hand’s pressure, kneading and stroking motions are applied to the tissues and muscles. The massage has a direct physical effect in which the muscles are stretched and relaxed. Additionally it stimulates the metabolism and increases the local blood circulation. It reduces painful tension, has a positive influence on the heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and digestion. This treatment promotes relaxation and general well-being.
