Scar tissue is more than a cosmetic concern—it can cause chronic pain, limit mobility, and disrupt nerve function. Whether your scar is from surgery, injury, or trauma, untreated adhesions can lead to tightness, discomfort, and long-term movement restrictions.
At Engram Therapy and Wellness Clinic, we provide specialized scar tissue release therapy to help you regain movement, relieve pain, and restore function. Our hands-on approach focuses on breaking down adhesions, improving circulation, and allowing your body to heal properly.
How Scar Tissue Affects Your Body
When scar tissue forms, it binds muscles, fascia, and nerves together in unnatural ways, creating restrictions that can lead to long-term discomfort and mobility issues. Over time, this can result in chronic pain and stiffness that worsens with movement, making everyday activities more challenging.
Scar tissue can also reduce flexibility and mobility in surrounding joints and muscles, limiting your range of motion. In some cases, trapped or compressed nerves may cause irritation, numbness, or tingling sensations. As the body compensates for these restricted areas, postural imbalances can develop, further straining muscles and joints. Additionally, deeper internal adhesions can lead to persistent discomfort that is difficult to pinpoint.
If left untreated, these issues can make exercise painful, interfere with daily activities, and contribute to long-term dysfunction. Scar tissue therapy works to soften adhesions, restore balance, and improve overall function, helping you move more freely and comfortably.
Targeted Scar Tissue Release for Lasting Relief
At Engram Therapy and Wellness Clinic, we use a comprehensive, hands-on approach to restore movement and reduce pain. Our therapy sessions may include:
- Manual Scar Release Therapy – Breaks up adhesions and restores soft tissue mobility.
- Myofascial & Visceral Manipulation – Addresses deep tissue restrictions affecting movement.
- Micro-Current Point Stimulation (MPS) – Enhances circulation and speeds healing.
- Therapeutic Movement & Stretching – Strengthens and retrains surrounding muscles.
Each treatment plan is customized to your specific scar type, location, and functional goals.

“Carla is an amazing practitioner. She worked with my mother and was the only person that we saw that actually helped her lymphedema. She is also very empathetic and truly cares about her patience. After my mom was out of her care, Carla still checked on her and would answer any questions that we had without Charging for her time. I would highly recommend carla. There are very few lymphedema specialists that we encountered that actually know what they are doing.”
