FREE Webinar: Scar Tissue Massage – What Does Best Practice Really Look Like?

Scar tissue is a vital part of healing after surgery, trauma, or inflammation. But while it serves an important purpose, it can also lead to discomfort, restriction, and reduced function.

Scar massage is commonly recommended — yet many clinicians still ask:

• When is the right time to start?
• How much pressure is appropriate?
• How often should treatment be applied?
• Which techniques are most effective?
• What are the precautions with immature or complex scars?

Join us for a practical, evidence-informed session designed to give you clarity and confidence in your clinical decision-making.

✨ Testimonial Tuesday ✨

Today we’re shining a light on the wonderful Sam Lyden and the powerful impact she has on her clients’ wellbeing.

Here’s what one client had to say:

“The reason I would recommend her to others is due to positive results beyond expectations.

Sam Lyden is a true professional, although her treatments go beyond professionalism – her empathy, care, respect and personal interest have achieved great benefits for my wellbeing. Her treatments have been specifically targeted for my mental and physical health. My body and mind feel loved and repaired after 54 years of damage. Aches, pains and limited movement have been improved and eliminated.”

Sam’s work is about more than treatment — it’s about listening, understanding, and creating tailored care that supports both body and mind. Her combination of clinical skill and genuine compassion makes a real difference to the people she works with.

If you’d like to learn more about Sam or book a session, you can find her here:

💛 Giving Back Through Scar Therapy 💛

On 7 February in London, Restore Therapy was proud to organise and host another successful free scar therapy event for burn survivors, in collaboration with Dan’s Fund for Burns.

This special day was made possible by an incredible group of volunteer scar therapy practitioners, who generously dedicated their time, skills and compassion to support burn survivors through free, hands-on scar therapy treatments. These sessions focused on comfort, mobility, sensitivity and connection — reminding us all how powerful community-led care can be.

We are deeply grateful to Dan’s Fund for Burns for collaborating with us on this event and for their continued dedication to supporting burn survivors and their families.

A huge thank you also goes to our sponsors, whose support helped make this event possible:
• Naqi
• BAP Medical
• Joint Operations
• and of course, Dan’s Fund for Burns

06/02/2026

As part of our ongoing commitment to education, awareness and accessibility, Restore Scar Therapy offers free scar therapy treatment clinics across the UK (and internationally through our wider network). These sessions are open to people with all types of scars, including those linked to surgery, injury, birth and cancer.

✨ What to Expect from Scar Therapy
Scar therapy is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on treatment focused on improving how scar tissue feels, moves and functions.

During a session you can expect:
• A thorough assessment of your scar and surrounding tissue
• Gentle manual scar therapy techniques
• Support for pain, tightness, restriction, sensitivity or altered sensation
• Guidance on self-care you can continue at home

Scar therapy may help improve comfort, mobility, confidence and quality of life — even years after the original injury or surgery.
