What is Mcloughlin Scar tissue Release Technique ® (MSTR®)?
Karen is a Certified MSTR® Practitioner. How can she help you?
Scars are often overlooked when it comes to recovering from injury and/or surgery. People commonly have residual numbness, limited mobility, sensitivity or pain at the site of their scar. Scar work can help with all of these issues. Frequently people are unaware that their scar is even a problem. This specialized work can help with many scars, particularly with C-Section, Mastectomy, plantar fasciitis and underlying laparoscopic scarring from shoulder, hip, knee or hand surgery. Mcloughlin scar tissue release is a gentle technique that can be applied to any scarring caused by surgical procedures. It can be effective on both recent and older scarring.
