4 tips on how you can reduce scar tissue problems after surgery


  • Scar tissue causes restrictions that can compromise muscle function and put strain on your whole body
  • Myofascial Release treatment is provided by the specialist therapists at Holisticare, who can work with your body to find and treat the cause of your symptoms.
  • Every year the world's top tennis players are being plagued by injury and needing surgery
  • They then typically struggle to return to form and suffer repeated injuries to the same area

Expert Physiotherapist Nikki Robinson explains how you can help yourself to prevent these problems.

4 tips on how you can reduce scar tissue problems after surgery

  • Drink plenty of water - if you are dehydrated your blood flow is reduced and your body's healing mechanisms will be compromised.
  • Gentle movement  - scar tissue needs to be able to respond to the movements that it will be doing
  • Relax - stress has been shown to slow wound healing and it tenses your muscles, which will contract the wound
  • Stop smoking  - the effects of smoking reduce your circulation, slow the speed of healing and affect the quality of the scar tissue

 

Nikki says; "In my experience, if you are able to have treatment to release the area before surgery, you will have a better outcome afterwards. Then your body will be in the best position to cope with the operation and the wound will have less strain on it as it heals. This means that the resulting scar will be looser both on the skin and internally and is much less likely to cause other problems in the future. "
