This course will change how you view the body. Scars can and often do have a knock-on effect as the fascial restrictions they create, with the resultant tension and torsion, cascade throughout the fascial matrix, creating neural, muscular, skeletal and visceral issues, affecting functionality and range of movement as well as, inevitably, numerous other problems down to cellular level.

This course is open to qualified hands-on practitioners with a minimum of one year in practice and a minimum of Level 3 certification in Anatomy and Physiology. The division of the course into two parts allows you the time and space to develop your confidence and skills by practising not only on fellow students and members of the public during the training, but on family members and friends (unpaid) in between training sessions; this has shown to assist students’ development of understanding and practical skills. 

Course taught by Jan Trewartha, the UK’s first accredited ScarWork tutor, lead editor and author of Scars, Adhesions and the Biotensegral Body, and Founder and Director of the British Fascia Symposium and The Fascia Hub.

This work is the brainchild of Sharon Wheeler, who trained with the renowned Ida Rolf.

Working with scar tissue is like speaking another language in the world of fascia. ScarWork is light, relaxed and effective on most scars. It is easy to learn and a pleasure to do. There are over twenty techniques that are designed to smooth out uneven lumps, bumps, ridges, strings, gaps, and fill holes painlessly; re-establishing the resilient 3D quality of the fascial web has been known to create better functioning and mobility. More than just passing on techniques, Jan teaches you an approach to scars and adhesions, and how to follow the tissue as it replays its traumatic patterning. Further training on following tissue is available as part of the Fascial Unwinding and Energy Awareness courses we also run.

With the restrictions and adhesions of a scar resolved, impaired nerves can regain sensation and internal organ functions can normalize. Not to mention that the cosmetic effect can be remarkable.

Training includes covering the emotional effect of scars, and full body integration after treatment. You are encouraged to volunteer your own scars for work to experience this first hand. We will also have a variety of scar models (members of the public) joining us for practice sessions. We work to bring you to a level of confidence, by the end of the course, that will enable you to start working with scars immediately in your practice, once your insurance has been arranged.

Following completion of the four days’ training, students will have learned:

  • The tension-compression nature of the body and how scars can affect it.
  • How to identify patterns of tension in a scar and under the skin.
  • How to identify the local/global affect scars and adhesions may be having on a client.
  • 20+ techniques for working with scars and adhesions.
  • How to identify the epidural site and relieve the effects of epidurals.
  • The difference between hypertrophic and keloid scars and how to approach them.
  • The power of light touch work in ScarWork.
  • How to follow the tissue as it replays the trauma of surgery or accident.
  • The emotional effects of scarring and adhesions.
  • How to work when mesh has been inserted into a surgical wound.
  • The importance of integration and how to facilitate it.
  • The contraindications and red flags for working with scars.

A certificate of competence will be issued at the end of the four day course.
