Our case of the month comes from New Zealand. What is interesting about this submission is the ability of the author to find a new and unusual solution to a common issue. Massage therapy is a great therapeutic tool for scar management. However, the scar treatment becomes a much more complicated issue when the practitioner faces scars formed as a result of severe burns. Second and third degree burns are accompanied by irreversible damage to the dermis layer of the skin. In such cases, the protective layer of the epithelium is not able to regenerate and disfigured scars are formed. Very frequently the scars restrict motion in the neighboring joints and form contractures. P 00649 6389995 M +6421363448 |
While massage therapy is needed to soften the scars, at the same time the treatment itself becomes the problem. The very thin layer of scar tissue which covers the burned part of the body is very fragile. It does not matter how much lubricant the practitioner uses. The skin pattern on his or her fingertips may damage the thin layer of scar tissue during the repetitive massage strokes along the affected area. It may cause ulceration with long healing. This is why the author's approach is such a great idea to use polished stones as a therapeutic tool to soften the scar tissue without compromising its integrity. |
