Benefits of scar therapy after amputation

There are numerous benefits of doing scar work after an amputation. This can be done ✔️ after the incision/wound fully closed, and even years or decades later. Scar tissue adds stress to the nervous system, and changes the way your brain talks to your muscles. After a surgery, your brain tucks away trauma into tissues, fascia, muscles and organs. The compensation patterns that develop are needed and useful, but often affect the whole body after awhile.

Addressing the scar tissue with The Scar Lady Protocol helps with healing on numerous levels, all equally important!

Another benefit of scar and fascial work is improved socket and prosthetic fit, with less potential for skin irritation as the tissue has more fluidity and less resistance from scar tissue.
