Sharon Wheelers ScarWork
Guidance
In a ScarWork session I will take a look not just at your scar but also at the role that the scar plays within the rest of your body, both physically and mentally.
It is very gentle work, often feeling so light that sensation in minimal however the light work allows the tissue within and around the scar to soften, relax and settle into a more natural place within the fascial system of the body.
This will hopefully not only support with any discomfort, tightness, pain, and restriction but also visually, quite often reducing the often harsh appearance of the scar.
Am I suitable for ScarWork?
I would always encourage speaking with your surgeon or consultant in the first instance if you have recently had surgery and feel that something isn't right.
There may be something important that needs to be assessed and treated by a medical professional.
However if you have been through everything with your team and have been discharged or have a historical scar that continues to give you problems then ScarWork may be able to help.
ScarWork™ can be done on both new and old scars, however with new scars, we suggest that you have been discharged by your surgeon and have no open wounds or infection in the area.
Commitment
How many sessions will I need?
This will depend on the type and size of the scar and also the age of the scar.
Some people see or feel immediate change after the first session, some people require more long term management and support.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me if you wish to chat more about ScarWork™ and how it may help you.

Scars, surgery and what happens next.....
Chances are at some time in our lives we will undergo surgery of some type. Be it as minor as a wisdom tooth removal, repair after a fracture to an emergency c-section or tracheotomy to save our lives.
No matter the style or extremity of the surgery, it can have a global effect both positively and negatively on our body and life in general.
Surgery’s are life changers and even life savers and the work done by medical professionals is nothing short of astounding.
However, often, after we’ve been discharged from the medical team, we can feel that something isn’t quite right. We may have been told that the surgery was a complete success but we feel a disconnect or issue that is new and that wasn’t resolved or acknowledged by our team or with traditional medical care following our surgery.
We may feel that we had just been left, without a support network, post surgery.
This is increasingly true after a c-section, where a lot of post natal focus is lost due to quick discharge, over stretched services and also our main focus being on a new baby.
Quite often we realise, even years after surgery that we have lost connection with our body. Some of us will never feel able to touch the scar, which may then lead to not wanting anyone else near the area, resulting in problems within intimate relationships.
We are also not regularly given advice on how to manage our new scar and if we are the guidance is often inconsistent and rather rough and abrasive. When a scar becomes infected, is itchy, tingly, numb, or doesn’t have a great appearance it can be even harder to touch or connect with it.
