Webinar Outline:
Sharon Wheeler is the originator of ScarWork, a light touch approach to scars and adhesions which has been empirically proved to be hugely successful, and is now taught globally. ScarWork has two pieces of research to its name (one published) and an ongoing research project currently being run by University College London Hospitals (UCLH).
As we know, a scar in one area of the body will almost certainly have a localised effect on structures and functionality, but due to fascial continuity within the body, the effect of such a tension/restriction may cascade bodywide, leading to unexpected consequences distal to the original scar. It is, therefore, advisable to address all scarring on the body before attempting to rebalance a client, relieve their pain, etc., as the soft tissue distortion created by scars and adhesions is likely to simply cause the client to revert to their original patterning. But how do you work with a scar effectively?
Working with scar tissue is like speaking another language in the world of fascia. ScarWork is light, relaxed and effective on most scars. It is easy to learn and a pleasure to do. There are over twenty techniques that are designed to smooth out uneven lumps, bumps, ridges, strings, gaps, and fill holes painlessly; re-establishing the resilient 3D quality of the fascial web has been known to create better functioning and mobility.
With the restrictions and adhesions of a scar resolved, impaired nerves can regain sensation and internal organ functions can normalize. Internal balance of the body can be restored. Not to mention that the cosmetic effect can be remarkable.
Please watch this video which is just 6 minutes long, from someone who received ScarWork in an emergency situation, in order to understand the potential of it.
Join us to hear Sharon talking about her work with scars and get your questions answered.
