A Kneaded Break


It is important to recognize that a simple scar from a childhood injury to major scar from surgery as an adult can have a life long physiological effect on the body. Marjorie Brook designed a scar tissue release system that approaches the multi faceted matrix of fascia three dimensionally. It releases and realigns the adhered tissues from the starting point (visible scar) to the end point (where the line of frozen fascia stops). Scar tissue release is utilized by all healthcare practitioners, Doctors, Chiropractors, Physical Therapists, Massage Therapists.

 

How Scar Tissue Release Therapy Works

The approach centers on the physiological and anatomical principles of fascial restrictions, the lengthening of the superficial to deep fascia, the breaking down of adhesions and the increase of lymphatic and venous circulation to the tissue.  Understanding that scar tissue has the potential to spread in any direction including internally and can restrict movement or function anywhere in the body, from a joint to an organ, you gain a whole new perspective on pain and physical complications in the body.
