Scar management

Scar tissue following surgery or burns, can be especially problematic for a number of reasons including, but not limited to: cosmetic appearance, hypersensitivity, adhesions and tethering to underlying structures, pain, itchiness, and decreased mobility due to scar contractures.

Therapists at Geelong Hand Therapy can use a variety of techniques to flatten, soften, and desensitise scar tissue as well as increase the mobility of the scar and surrounding tissues.
