RE: Scar Tissue???

From: http://www.youtube.com/user/cauldronofcerridwen I was just wondering how you approach the issue of scars in your massage treaments. I have always wanted to go and have a professional massage but I have quite a few scars on my body and am very self conscious of them and wouldn't want the massage therapist asking personal questions or commenting on them. Also, how safe is it to massage scar tissue? Thanks in advance!

I didn't catch the name of the oil for the raised keloid scars. Could you type it out?

Thanks so much.

Okay so my left arm is severely scarred all over from a car accident about four moths ago. I've been done with surgery and treatments for a while and there are still a few parts that are pretty raised up. It constantly itches and even pulls sometimes. Should I get some of that oil that you mentioned in this video or has 4 months been too long to even try breaking the scar tissue up?

It's never too late to start breaking up scar tissue...it just takes longer if it's been a while.

Do you have any advice on how to massage a scar which as also tethered to underlying tissue?

[InfoNeededPlease]

Deep Scar Tissue

located in the intercostal muscles (underneath the rib cage) as well as the lung area.

Can massage & ultrasound reach these deep areas?

What technique/procedure do you suggest.

What frequency in therapy sessions would you suggest to get some relief?

I love your videos...they are so helpful in educating me and preparing me for CEUs, etc. My local AMTA chapter is offering a 2-day 16 CEU class on scar release. Do you think it would be beneficial for me to take the class or is general facial relase/cross fiber knowledge sufficient? (I'm on a limited budget, so I want to take the classes that will be of most benefit to me and my clients) Thanks.
