Conditions
Scar Tissue Release
Scar tissue release involves techniques to break down scar tissue that forms after injury or surgery, which can cause pain and restrict movement. Methods include manual therapy, massage, even with tools (like Gua Sha or similar scraping tools), and specialized exercises (extended stretches).
Standard Medical Approach:
- Diagnosis: Physical examination and imaging tests to assess the extent and impact of scar tissue.
- Treatment: Manual therapy, corticosteroid injections, physical therapy, and sometimes surgical removal of scar tissue.
Hito Holistic Approach
- Diagnosis: Comprehensive assessment of physical and postural aspects. Specific palpation of the scar and various skin tests to find restrictions and entrapments.
- Treatment: Uses techniques like myofascial induction therapy, connective reflex massage, lymphatic drainage, acupuncture to improve energy flow and support tissue healing. Massage therapy and specialized exercises to enhance mobility and reduce pain. Focuses on emotional healing if the scar is connected to unresolved trauma and stress, involving practices as mediation, breathwork, journaling, chakra healing for the heart chakra and sacral chakra.
