October 25th-27th, 9:00am-6:00pm, 24 CEUs
Instructor: Heather Norlander
Almost everyone has a scar. Whether it is a minor scar, like a small line on the bottom of
a chin from falling down as a child, or a major scar from an auto accident, biopsy, or even
a c-section at childbirth, scars can define us and inhibit our daily lives.
I teach a gentle approach that helps release the restricted tissues, reduce the visible
appearances of a scar, and lessen the psychological effects; helping your clients to regain
the confidence and mobility they may have lost along the way.
You, as a therapist, will learn to treat every detail, from the scar’s appearance to its
physiological and psychological impacts. We address each of these components
throughout the scar tissue treatment process to ensure your client’s experience is
individually customized to their physical and mental well-being needs.
In this 3-day course we will cover
- What is a scar? How does it form?
- Types of scars
- Physical Effects of scar tissue on the body
- Emotional/psychological aspects of a scar
- Indications and contraindications of scar tissue work
- Practical applications including working at the deepest level to release any and all
adhesions - New moves to release adhesions
- Working with confidence on surgical and injury scar tissue.
- Treating Oncology patients & Burn survivors.
- Recognize and release adhesions/restrictions that your clients may not have ever paid
attention to or considered an issue. - Communicate effectively about scar tissue to your clients.
- Assess and design a comprehensive treatment plan.
- Gain the trust and confidence of your clients with your knowledge and understanding of
their journey. - Practice work – lots of time to get it right!
This workshop will give you hands-on practice with different types of scar tissue. There
will be a large amount of practice work, ending with clinical treatments on live patients
so that you can put your new skills into practice!
