Scar Therapy

"I felt wonderfully privileged to have been given this opportunity at Action Cancer.  I will admit that at first I had a degree of scepticism as to the benefit of scar therapy.  How wrong I was!  Almost from the first session I began to notice a difference in the amount of sensation I had on the right side of my chest.  I had had extensive reconstructive surgery and the whole area including my shoulder and arm were very numb.  With each session the whole area became more comfortable which in turn encouraged me to use it more and be more active. "

"Scar Therapy is so gentle and yet it has a powerful impact.  My scar no longer hurts me, all the tension and tightness has gone.  The result is that I am not as consciously aware of my scar.  It has given me a way to really move on from the cancer diagnosis.  The therapist also worked her magic in stopping involuntary cough that had plagued me since the surgery.  I am so grateful for this treatment. Thank you"

"The therapist worked with me for 6 sessions of one hour each.  She massaged the affected areas.  Initially I only noticed small changes but looking back now I can say that my range of movement in my arm and shoulder have improved, the skin feels softer and moves more freely.  I also have improved sensations all around the scar sites.  I would like to say that it was a very relaxing experience and the therapist was friendly and caring.  I would thoroughly recommend this."
