All About Scarring with Angela Thynne of Scar Care

What many people don’t realize is the physiological impact that scars can have on their bodies — whether it's a minor scar from falling as a child, a high-school football injury, a burn, or a C-section scar. While not every scar presents a problem, many do. If your body doesn’t break down scar tissue completely, it will often spread — triggering your body to compensate. Any kink, pull or restriction in one area can impact the rest of the body. If your movements are restricted, your muscles will be forced to compensate by working harder. Nerve entrapment can affect circulation and cause pain and discomfort.

 

In this week's podcast episode, Marni will be speaking with Angela Thynne, Director of Scar Care, to learn more about Scarring treatments, causes and management.
