Gentle Scar Therapy for Your Practice – Webinar Series

Scars are often underestimated in their long-term impact — but for many clients, they hold the key to unresolved pain, limited function, and nervous system imbalance. This two-part webinar series is designed for massage therapists, myotherapists, and allied health professionals who want to take their understanding of scar-related dysfunction to a new level.

Whether you work in pain management, post-surgical rehab, pelvic health, or women’s health, these sessions will expand your clinical lens and give you practical insights into when and how scars matter most — without needing to rely on forceful or techniques that do not align with you.

Webinar 1: Scars More than Skin Deep: How Scars Disrupt Fascia, Fluid & Function
In this foundational session, you'll explore how even small or old scars can create far-reaching effects throughout the body — disrupting fascial tension lines, restricting lymph flow, and activating protective nervous system responses.
We’ll challenge traditional approaches that focus on “breaking down” scar tissue, and instead introduce a gentle, fascia-informed model supported by clinical case studies. You’ll walk away better equipped to recognize when a scar may be the hidden obstacle in your client’s healing journey — especially when symptoms seem resistant to your usual go-to clinical methods.

Webinar 2: Scars After Birth & Beyond – A Gentle Approach to C-Sections, Hysterectomies & Women’s Health Recovery
Zooming in on scars unique to women’s health, this session focuses on the physical and emotional aftermath of C-sections, hysterectomies, and reproductive surgeries.
You’ll learn how abdominal scars can quietly affect pelvic floor coordination, bladder and bowel function, low back stability, diaphragmatic breathing and core recovery — even years post-op. With a trauma-informed, client-centered perspective, we’ll cover red flags, subtle symptoms, and collaborative care strategies to support women through lasting, gentle recovery. Together, these webinars offer a clear, connected framework for incorporating scar awareness into your hands-on or movement-based practice, enhancing outcomes while deepening your therapeutic insight.
