Scar release therapy (SRT) is an innovative bodywork therapy designed to reduce the negative effects scars have on our bodies. SRT utilizes Dolphin Neurostim, a form of DC microcurrent, which penetrates deep into the body to release scar tissue and enhance cellular metabolism, ATP, and protein synthesis. This non-invasive, painless treatment quickly softens scar tissue, effectively reducing scar size and providing significant pain relief for chronic pain throughout the body.
Scars are a critical source of physical stress. Why? Surgical scars directly connect to the skin through the autonomic nervous system, meaning any injury to the skin or underlying fascia will trigger a prolonged sympathetic response (stress), which can have serious health implications.
As the body heals from surgery, injury, burns, or trauma, scar tissue forms as a protective response. While this is a normal aspect of healing, scar tissue can become dense, restricted, and poorly hydrated, potentially interfering with surrounding muscles, fascia, nerves, and circulation—even years after the scar has formed. Scar release therapy aids in re-educating the tissue and the nervous system, allowing the body to move and function more freely.
The influence of scars extends far beyond cosmetic concerns:
- They can cause chronic post-surgical pain.
- They activate sympathetic stress and suppress vagal tone.
- They decrease heart rate variability (HRV).
- They can injure and tighten fascia.
- They may form internal adhesions.
- They can stagnate lymph and circulation movement.
- They can lead to gut dysbiosis, which influences brain health.
