ScarWork is very useful for patients after radiotherapy. Often head and neck cancer patients suffer as a result of the radiotherapy with restricted movement, pain or mobility in the neck after surgery and radiotherapy case damage. This study at Lynda Jackson Macmillan Centre gives an indication to the benefits that we hope to study further, so clinical research can back up the experiences we witness when treating scars with these gentle techniques.

Am constantly amazed at the strength resilience and determination shown by clients who have survived cancer. I see post cancer clients for clinical massage and ScarWork. Truly a group of people to be celebrated!

When I took the decision to stop treating on 20th March, I don't think anyone would have foreseen that 2 months later we would still be in lockdown! As we all try to work our way back to a 'new normal' , in line with Government rules, the advice of my advisory bodies and insurers, I remain unable to offer face to face treatments. Whilst this will be reviewed by the Govt there is no guarantee that this will be permitted any time soon and what amount of precious PPE kit will be required (when essential NHS and Care Homes are still struggling to source). Obviously social distancing is not something that can be complied with during treatments.

I am however offering telephone /online consultations and have helped several clients over the last 2 months with a number of issues including lower back pain, shoulder pain, leg pain and headaches. Feedback from a recent client was:

"LINDA HAS BEEN GREAT DURING LOCKDOWN AS I HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY HIP FLEXOR AND SHE WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH HELP AND EXERCISES OVER THE PHONE AS WE ARE NOT ABLE TO KEEP UP OUR REGULAR TREATMENTS"

I am offering an initial remote 30min consultation for FREE until 4th July to EXISTING clients in a manner that best suits you - be that FaceTime/telephone/zoom. This will cover self massage techniques with comprehensive information in the form of bespoke written advice/videos/images of exercises and stretches to assist you. Follow up consultations will be charged out at £20 for 30mins or £30 for an hour prebooked appointment. Payment will be by card taken over the phone at the time of the appointment. Current insurance restrictions prevent me from accepting new patient consultations.

PLEASE do not feel that you have no available help with aches and pains. Contact me on 07854001590/email Linda@tidaltherapies.co.uk or DM me to book an appointment time.

Megan Bennett was teaching our group yesterday, she created some latex burn scars for the workshop at the yesterday. It was really useful for the group at this collaboration event.

Most of the attendees at the HUB are part of 2020 Invictus support. We found at the Invictus training camps and Sheffield trials, some of the Invictus athletes have been in blasts from landmines and Healing Hands Network in Bosnia we see injuries from blasts and sniper bullets.

It was helpful to spend some time specifically talking about ScarWork treatment of these injuries to keep growing our knowledge and skills.
