Scar therapy is introduced as part of postoperative rehabilitation to reduce the visibility of scars and improve their functionality. Scars develop as a result of injuries or various surgical procedures that disrupt the continuity of the skin and deeper tissues.
Scar formation cannot be completely prevented, but it is possible to influence the appearance of the scar and support the proper healing process. This can help reduce the risk of complications associated with abnormal scar tissue formation.
Limited scar mobility can lead to complications such as muscle contractures, postural abnormalities, impaired proprioception, altered movement patterns, pain, and tissue overload.
Scar treatment often combines manual scar mobilization with physical therapy. These methods support the healing process, improve circulation, increase tissue mobility and elasticity, reduce pain, and help prevent adhesions.
