Post-surgical Scarring And Astym Posted: 07-24-07 15:38pm
Hi there,
I wanted to drop a line about mastectomies
and the scarring that is resultant from
it, which can limit motion and cause a lot
of pain. ASTYM therapy is something that
works to loosen the scarring, giving us
back our range of motion across our
chest.
There isn't a lot of information about
this available as yet, because it's a
pretty new thing, but ASTYM therapy works
to reduce scarring in the body, and it is
pretty amazing when used in a
post-surgical situation.
Basically, ASTYM is done by certified
clinicians, who also give the patient
specific stretches and strengthening
exercises (crucial, post-surgery.) Rather
than have a build-up of scarring, ASTYM
teaches the body to lay down healthy
tissue.
