Learn how to care for your scars

from a professional Scar Therapist

Have you had surgery recently and not feeling quite like your pre-surgery self?

Are you suffering from tightness, pulling, numbness, tingling, or just sensitive?

Feeling lost about how to look after your scar?

You're not alone. Many people don't get the guidance they need to achieve optimal scar healing.

That's where I come in. I'm Claire, a Functional Health Specialist with a passion for empowering people like you

Have you had surgery?

Surgery is tough on your body.

Even though our scars look neat and tidy on the surface there can be all manner of chaos going on below the surface due to healing process and the way that new tissue is formed.

Scars are just like icebergs, we only see what is on the surface.

It's this chaos that changes how we normally receive internal information about movement and other stimuli. It's common that after surgery you may find that around your scar you have:
• numbness
• tingling

• pulling
• tightness
• sensitivity

• a tightness when trying exhale

• restricted movement

• persistent weakness

Hey, I'm Claire - I'm a Functional Health Specialist here at Restoring Balance. I specialise in helping you both prepare and recover from surgery.

This means that often we start working together before your surgery, in the pre-habilitation stages we’ll look at questions for your medical team, planning for your recovery, breathwork and mindset, and pre-surgery movements.

Post-surgery rehabilitation that focuses on helping you recover faster; to get your strength and mobility back, and make you feel like you are in your own body again. Post-surgery recovery can sometimes be a slow and frustrating journey, and it can feel overwhelming to know how to begin regaining your health.

As a Functional Health Specialist, this is where I can support you, as this is my area of expertise or zone of genius if you've watched any of my socials. With years of training, as well as my own first-hand experience of recovering from a life-changing accident and multiple surgeries, I know exactly what you’re feeling and how to get your mojo back again.

When we work together in person I use a combination of coaching, soft tissue therapies, neuro muscle testing and restorative movement and exercise, you’ll learn to improve your range of motion and coordination, better control your body function and even breathe easier!

I love seeing my clients’ health transform as we work together. Watching them grow in strength, confidence and whole body wellness, is so immensely rewarding.
