Learn how to restore health in scar tissue. Founder, Emma Holly has a clinic in Harley Street, London. Emma Holly is one of the UK’s leading scar therapy specialists. An educator on the subject of scar therapy to health professionals. With a clinical practice in London Harley Street she uses gentle but effective manual therapy, alongside medical devices for improving scar tissue and adhesions. As skin is healing after an operation or accident, different layers under the skin get stuck together as the body works to close and heal the wound. Scar treatment can help gently release these stuck layers to allow better function and movement in the scar tissue and surrounding fascial tissue, muscles and ligaments. Prevention is the best way to approach scar care, starting early with products to help the skin heal with minimal scar tissue formation. Emma teaches online and hands on classes and lectures on the subject of scars and supporting recovery.

📥 Free Resource for Scar Care

Tracking progress is a key (and often overlooked) part of scar recovery. That’s why we’ve created a simple, practical tool to help you and your clients measure change over time.

Our Scar Colour Change Tracker is a FREE downloadable resource designed for both personal and clinical use—helping you objectively monitor improvements in scar tissue.

This can be especially useful when changes are subtle or gradual, giving you a clearer picture of progress and supporting more informed treatment decisions.

✔️ Easy to use
✔️ Suitable for a range of skin tones
✔️ Ideal for tracking outcomes over time
✔️ Great for both therapists and clients

Whether you’re supporting recovery after surgery or managing long-term scars, having a visual record can make a real difference.

⚠️ Scar massage is often recommended—but what does best practice really involve?

Scar tissue plays a vital role in healing after surgery, injury, or inflammation. That said, scars and adhesions can sometimes lead to pain, limited mobility, sensitivity, and changes in tissue function, which may impact recovery and long-term outcomes.

Although widely advised, scar massage raises several important questions:

• When should treatment begin?
• How much pressure is appropriate?
• How frequently and for how long should it be applied?
• Which techniques are most effective?
• What risks or contraindications need to be considered?

⏰ 19:00 BST

Join us for practical, evidence-informed guidance you can confidently use in clinical practice. If you’re unable to attend live, you can still register to receive the recording afterward.

In this session, we’ll explore:
✔️ The physiology of scar tissue
✔️ How adhesions develop after surgery or injury
✔️ The benefits and limitations of scar massage
✔️ Key practical factors such as pressure, frequency, duration, and technique

Caesarean Awareness Month

Post-natal recovery doesn’t end after 6 weeks… and neither does your scar’s story.
In the early weeks after a caesarean, your body is still healing, adapting and responding to changes beneath the surface. Even when everything looks “healed” on the outside, scar tissue can still influence how you move, feel and function.

Gentle scar therapy and early awareness can support:
• Comfort and sensitivity
• Mobility and movement
• Connection to your core and body
• Confidence in your recovery

It’s not about doing more — it’s about understanding your body and supporting it in the right way, at the right time.

Wherever you are in your post-natal journey, it’s never too early (or too late) to start paying attention to your scar.

Emma’s story

Emma Holly has one of the UK’s leading ScarWork clinics and now offers training to physiotherapists and other physical bodywork professionals, in this specialised gentle but effective therapy for scar tissue and adhesions. As skin is healing after an operation or accident, different layers under the skin get stuck together as the body works to close and heal the wound. ScarWork helps gently release these stuck layers to allow better function and movement in the scar tissue and surrounding fascial tissue, muscles and ligaments. Originator of these unique technique to improve scars from surgery or accidents is Sharon Wheeler, a therapist from Seattle USA. ScarWork has been developed over many years, to improve the condition and integration of scar tissue and promote healing. You may not have heard of it as only been established in the UK for a short time, so only a few therapists are offering these specialised scar treatments.

Emma was highly commended complementary therapist of the year by one of the UK’s largest therapy associations FHT (Federation of Holistic Therapists) and has had continued coverage in national and local press and professional journals for her business.
