We are now offering a specialised physiotherapy treatment for a wide range of scars, including those resulting from orthopaedic procedures, C-sections, oncology treatments, cosmetic surgery, and abdominal or trunk surgeries. This hands-on approach integrates techniques such as manual therapy, cupping, acupuncture, and taping to support scar rehabilitation. Patients will receive tailored advice on ongoing scar care to maximise outcomes. All types of scars, including older ones, can be assessed, though the best results are typically achieved from six weeks post-injury or surgery. While scar appearance may improve, the main focus is on restoring normal tissue function and minimising any restrictions or discomfort in the surrounding areas. In cases of more serious scarring, a referral for plastic or revision surgery may be recommended.
Scar treatment is available at our Wilmslow clinic, with Senior Physio Sarah O’Neill. Book online and write ‘scar treatment’ in the comment box, or call us to book.
