Sports therapy and remedial massage is an aspect of health care that is specific to treating and preventing musculoskeletal pain, injury, and dysfunction. The aim is to rehabilitate the patient back to the best possible levels of function. This is available to sporty and non-sporty people alike.
As demand and waiting lists within the NHS are increasing, Sports Therapy is often seen as an alternative to MSK Physiotherapy sessions to help complement and optimise your recovery.
The treatment may involve a number of different modalities specific to the patient’s suitability and needs, the patient’s lifestyle, hobbies, work profession, mental health, and goals are also taken into consideration. This allows the therapist to create a treatment plan which has a holistic approach, in order to allow you to continue with your recovery and improvements.
Where necessary and appropriate, patients may be referred to a Doctor or another trusted professional, such as: Chiropractor, Physiotherapist, Counsellor or another form of holistic therapy.
Every scar is unique, so it’s difficult to predict exactly how many scar therapy treatments you’ll need to achieve your goals.
For most scars that are less than 12 months old, we recommend starting with 3 initial scar therapy sessions over a period of 6–8 weeks. This allows us to begin improving scar mobility, reduce adhesions, and support the healing process.
After your initial course of treatment, we’ll reassess your progress and discuss whether any additional sessions would be beneficial based on your individual needs and goals.
At CL Body Therapy, every treatment plan is tailored to you, ensuring you receive the right care for your scar and stage of healing.
No. Scar therapy cannot make a scar disappear completely, and you will always have a scar.
The aim of scar therapy is to improve the appearance, function, mobility and overall health of your scar. Treatment can help reduce tightness, improve movement, soften scar tissue, ease discomfort and improve altered sensation.
Many clients also find that as their scar becomes more comfortable and looks healthier, they feel more confident and positive about it too.
At CL Body Therapy, we focus on helping you achieve the best possible outcome for your scar, no matter how old it is.
No – it’s never too late to benefit from scar therapy.
Research shows that even scars that are 10 years old or more can still improve with treatment. While older scars may take a little longer to respond than newer scars (typically those under 18 months old), meaningful changes are still possible.
Scar therapy can help improve your scar’s appearance, mobility, flexibility, sensation, and any discomfort, helping you feel more comfortable and confident in your body.
