FAQ

Will this remove my scar?

No. The goal is comfort and easier movement around the area.

Is it painful?

Sessions are paced and pressure is adjustable. We aim for tolerable, effective input.

Massage therapy does not close wounds or treat medical conditions. New or worsening signs should be discussed with your healthcare provider.
