Are you ready to enhance your light-touch skills?

Scar tissue and post-operative work requires a light touch, focusing more on fluid movement and nervous system involvement, rather than deep compressive motions.

This helps save your hands and creates big results for your patients.

Confidence with Post-operative Care: Feel sure that no matter where the scar is happening, you'll be able to deliver timely, safe and appropriate care.
Understand the Nature of Scar Tissue: Influenced by primary body systems and stages of healing, scar tissue has a particular nature that you will learn to harness and work with, no matter where in the body it is.
New Evidence-Informed Techniques: Our course is rooted in the latest scientific research and industry best practices, so you'll get up-to-date tools in your toolbox.
Enhanced Healing Outcomes: Boost your clients' healing outcomes, improve their range of motion, and help them reclaim their quality of life.
Like-minded community of massage and manual therapists: People who share your perspective, introduce new ideas and who emanate kindness make this an ideal learning environment
