In contrast with traditional scar tissue massage techniques, Sharon Wheeler’s ScarWork is extremely gentle and should be painless. If your scar is numb, you may feel nothing at first. I use light strokes, gentle stretching and pulling to work out where your scar moves well and where it feels stuck. I will allow it to move as it wants to and then gently encourage new movements, to unstick and free up any restrictions and enable your body to move and function normally again. You may feel tickling, stroking, gentle pulling or pressure from my hands. Inside your body, you may feel rippling, tingling, moving or surging sensations as your tissue moves back into place. There is often an intangible sense of relief, resolution or feeling whole again. You may feel both a physical and emotional release, which is normal and often necessary for you to heal on all levels.
