Scarring can have a deep and lasting impact on children; emotionally, physically, and socially. From fear and pain to self-consciousness and difficulties with touch, the effects often run far deeper than the scar itself.

In a recent blog, we explored how scars shape a child’s experience, how families can support healing, and why positive touch and acceptance matter so much.

If you work with children, are a parent, or simply want to understand this important topic, this is a must-read. Read the blog in full here - https://www.bodyinharmony.org.uk/blog/working-with-scarred-children-a-case-study

Interested in learning more about how to work on scars?
Interested in learning with the renowned Dr Robert Schleip in person?
Can you be in London for the weekend of 12/13 September?

Our principal, Jan Trewartha, also directs The Fascia Hub. She is a specialist in, and teacher of scars and adhesions work. The Fascia Hub is hosting, this September, the renowned teacher Dr Robert Schleip in London for his popular course ‘Working with Scars and Adhesions: A Fascial Approach to Tissue Hardening and Restriction’.

Fascia is more than a passive wrapping - it’s a living, responsive network that connects and communicates across the entire body. This fibrous connective tissue links muscles, nerves, vessels, and organs, and plays a central role in force transmission, proprioception, and chronic pain syndromes.

In recent years, advances in fascia research have redefined how we understand and treat the body. In this engaging, evidence-informed workshop, Dr. Robert Schleip will share the latest findings in fascial science and their powerful applications for addressing scars, adhesions, and stiffness in clinical settings.

If you are a therapist who understands how important it is to free up areas of scarring or tissue stiffness in the body, you will not want to miss this opportunity to develop your knowledge and your practice! To find out more and secure your place, visit https://bit.ly/TFH-RS-SEPT. Don’t miss this opportunity! And, why not make the most of being in London and join Jan’s course in Sharon Wheeler’s ScarWork the same week? Take a look at the booking page via the link above.

Fascia is a connective tissue; a three-dimensional web that sheathes all our body’s structures down to cellular level. It is fully continuous (there are no ‘layers’ in the body), which means that what happens to fascia in one part of the body cannot but affect the fascia, and the structures it is covering, in other parts of the body. When it is damaged it may result in, for example, a ‘straitjacketed’ feeling of internal tension, restricted breathing, mobility and pain; not necessarily just where the injury is, but somewhere that may appear totally unrelated.

In our fascia-focused courses this concept lies behind everything we do.

Research is ongoing into further aspects of this fascinating tissue. As time goes on we learn more and more about something which used to be disregarded and thought of as mere body ‘packaging’.

Throwback to when Jan joined the originator of ScarWork, Sharon Wheeler, as Sharon created archive footage working on a scar model with a complex scar, and completed a major video project around her remarkable BoneWork therapy.

Just as fascinating now as it was then, watching Sharon work and - always - learning yet more from her.

There are times when we are suffering internally so badly that our facade, so carefully constructed to protect ourselves, starts to crumble. At times like this we can make the choice to keep hiding from others and from ourselves, to keep pushing down the past and all its pain, or to start facing our trauma. This is the bravest thing we can do, but this is also the path that will bring us through the pain into joy again. This is the time in which we can commit to authenticity, no longer hiding behind a mask. And this is the time in which we can rediscover the beauty within us that nothing can kill, no matter what we have been through.

These internal scars can be helped with light touch therapies. We teach our students to use their hands intuitively, gently, with respect; they are facilitators not fixers. Their job is to help the client heal him/herself while holding the space for them.

If you, as a therapist or as a movement educator with hands-on training, are looking for your next step, why not join us at our next Fascial Unwinding event. Dates for 2027 will be released shortly, so keep an eye on our website for more information - https://www.bodyinharmony.org.uk/what-we-teach/fascial-unwinding-energy-awareness

As a Sharon Wheeler's ScarWork teacher, I am excited to share the following with you all......

NHS Study on Sharon Wheeler’s (SW) ScarWork for Post-Breast Surgery Pain Syndrome (PBSPS).

Could Sharon Wheeler’s ScarWork help relieve your post-surgery pain?

We are inviting people to participate in a new research study.
A major research project is currently underway at UCLH (University College London Hospitals), and sponsored by the University of West London, to establish the efficacy of SW ScarWork for post-breast surgery pain syndrome in breast cancer patients who are in remission.

What is the study about?
Many people who have breast cancer surgery go on to experience ongoing breast pain. This is known as Post-Breast Surgery Pain Syndrome (PBSPS), and it can last for years, affecting daily life and wellbeing.

Right now, treatment options for this type of pain are limited. This study aims to find out whether SW ScarWork is a practical and effective treatment that could be offered to people in NHS cancer care settings.

If you’ve had breast cancer surgery and are still experiencing pain in the breast area months or even years later SW ScarWork may be able to help.

We're so grateful for the amazing feedback we consistently receive from our scar model volunteers following ScarWork courses! It's incredibly fulfilling to know that these sessions are not only helping our students gain vital hands-on experience, but also providing real benefits to those who take part.

Most of our scar models report feeling increased ease of movement, less discomfort, and noticeable improvements in the appearance of their scars. These changes can make a meaningful difference to confidence, body image and general health.

Thinking of volunteering as a scar model? We'd love to hear from you! Email us at [email protected] to be added to our mailing list and be invited for free work with our supervised students.
