Think your scar is just a scar? Think again. 👀
Scar tissue is a normal part of the healing process—but sometimes, the tissues surrounding a scar can become restricted, sensitive, or uncomfortable and may affect the way you move.
At InstaCare Physical Therapy, we regularly work with patients whose scars are contributing to issues such as:
• Tightness or pulling
• Restricted mobility
• Sensitivity or tenderness
• Abdominal or hip restrictions
• Difficulty engaging the core
• Pain with movement
• Post-surgical limitations
And here’s something many people don’t realize:
It doesn’t necessarily matter how OLD your scar is.
We’ve worked with patients whose scars have been present for months, years, and even decades.
Our approach may include techniques such as scar mobilization, cupping, dry needling, and hands-on therapy, combined with targeted mobility, strengthening, and progressive loading.
Your scar may be healed—but that doesn’t always mean the tissues underneath are moving the way they should.
Want to learn more about scar tissue, when it can become a problem, how we treat it, and whether it’s too late to address an older scar?
