In November 2018 I brought internationally renowned trainer and author Jan Trewartha to give a course in Sharon Wheeler ScarWork for the first time in Ireland.  12 practitioners from all over the island came to Athlone for 4 days to learn this wonderful technique. We discovered how disturbed tissue can interfere with functions all over the body. I am absolutely delighted to have introduced this work to Ireland, and am using it daily in my therapy room in Athlone. It is truly exciting to see changes occur in movement, pain levels and appearance.

A scar isn't just a superficial injury. It cuts through connective tissue which must be checked when it heals. Underlying scar tissue  or adhesions can interfere with the function of the body not just at the site but in other places on the body. Scars which are a result of some traumatic incident may also need attention in order to release emotional stress. If you have a scar due to operation or accident, please consider having it looked at. It can improve in texture and appearance and pain and discomfort can be resolved very quickly. Superficial application, yet profound effect upon the recipient.
