MSTR® Scar Tissue Release
MSTR®
Scar tissue is formed as a natural response to trauma when skin or body organ is lacerated; a hole or wound is made which should not be there. The body reconstructs and repairs the wound as soon as possible the best way it can.
During the healing process a scar is formed when the new collagen fibres do not grow in the same consistent direction. This will lead to a thickened fibrous mass which can impede blood circulation, lymphatic flow and constrict range of movement. The scar will appear discoloured and with an uneven texture.
Symptoms caused by scar tissue can have a huge impact on daily life, not just initially following the event and the recuperation phase, but can be problematic for decades following the trauma. Symptoms can also include psychologically effects to the scar tissue when there has been an emotional event surrounding the acquiring of the scar.
These emotional responses can too stay with you for years following the incident as the scar tissue is a reminder of the event.
How Does MSTR® work?
MSTR® works by gently releasing the scar tissue fibre, resulting in improved blood flow and lymphatic drainage to the area. The scar can become softer and paler, trapped nerve fibres can be released. Restrictions in range of movement can improve.
This scar work is not massage or deep friction work, it is a unique method that focuses solely on scar tissue and working with the collagen fibres in the skin.

At what stage is Massage to Scar Tissue suitable?
MSTR® can be carried out on any age of scar once the incision has fully healed. Usually, allow 8 weeks post injury for the body to have time to heal.
While effective in the first 2 years when the scar is still forming, there are still noticeable improvements when working on older scars and improvement on scars more than 80 years old has been achieved.
