What is a Scar?

A scar forms when a deeper injury affects soft tissues like skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia, and muscles. Unlike the original tissue, scar tissue has a different structure and behaviour. The healing process influences its characteristics. Improper healing can lead to pathological scarring, causing further health issues.

Some scars might not even be visible on the surface of the skin. These scars can happen after muscle rupture or other trauma to the tissue under the skin.

Why Scar Care is Important:

Scar care is essential not just for new scars, but also for old ones. Old scars can remain active due to accumulated tension and pulling, and they can reactivate due to physical or emotional trauma.

How Scars Can Contribute to Back Pain

Impaired Tissue Mobility: Scar tissue can cause movement changes leading to painful trigger points and joint restrictions, which persist until soft tissue function, especially fascia, is restored. This can lead to problems with movement, back pain, and even visceral pain.

Protective Behavior: After surgery or injury, the body naturally protects the scar area. If the scar is not treated properly, this protective behaviour can change movement patterns, contributing to poor posture, poor movement, and back pain.

Whole-Body Impact: Scars can transmit issues to other body parts through muscular and fascial chains.

Emotional Impact: Scars can store traumatic memories, impeding the body's ability to relax and allowing energy to flow freely. This can leave you feeling stuck in a flight or fight stress response.
