Manual lymphatic drainage massage  in combination with Matrix-Rhythm-Therapy, Dietetic and Phytotherapy support and enhance the healing of any scars (even old ones). Even after years knotty scar tissue can be reduced by applying this special scar treatment. The surrounding tissue decongests, is better supplied with blood and leads to less numbness of the scar.

The scarring process – seen physiologically

Soft tissue always reacts to damaging or harmful stimuli with an inflammatory process (so called unspecific mesenchyme-reaction). The inflammation activates the tissue-metabolism, the damaged region is supplied with blood, which transports nutritients to the cells, the lymphatics clear the region of cell-debris.

It is only after the completion of the inflammatory process, that the self-healing process of the tissue can take place. The better the process develops the less scar formation will there be.

If the inflammatory process cannot be completed or is disturbed or restrained, the lymph congests in the scar tissue resulting in a knotty thickening scar formation. They are not only unpleasant to look at, but they are also tight  and in time lead to numbness and congestion inhibiting the lymphatic and venous pathways.
