OLD INJURIES

 

Adhesions or Scar Tissue

At the site of an injury it is common to notice swelling, especially immediately after impact. As the swelling subsides we think that all is returning to normal. However, if some time has passed and any joint has been immobile, the chances are that some fluid remains and thickens at the site, eventually becoming almost solid. This causes problems with use of the area, noticed as limitation of movement, stiffness and most importantly PAIN. With use of massage, this can be prevented, but what is less widely known is that it is possible to remove such obstructions long after the injury has healed – sometimes many years – very successfully with huge, often complete reduction of pain and frequently return to full movement, use and removal of stiffness and sensitivity to cold/change in temperature and weather.

The more complicated an injury has been, the more likely there are to be areas of adhesion and internal scarring.Treating compound injuries can be a challenging task, it is not for the faint-hearted patient nor indeed practitioner. One of the reasons that I have become so skilful at treating Old Injuries is because I have found so few practitioners willing or able to the attempt the task. It takes patience and perseverance as well as skill.

These treatment regimes will accelerate healing but may not remove an old problem completely in just a few weeks. Remarkable results are seen however (see testimonials) but every individual will respond slightly differently. Repeat injuries often stem from a major injury in childhood or adolescence that is forgotten until we start investigating the origins. It is possible to address these but it will take longer.
