Are you aware that the low back pain you experience could be caused by an
abdominal surgery you underwent years ago? Or that same abdominal surgery is also creating shoulder restrictions?
A scar on your foot could be causing you to walk slightly differently, causing the body to compensate in some way. That change in gait (the way you walk) could create compensations throughout your body. Typically that can create a lot
of neck and shoulder strain and tension headaches.
The neck strain that causes reduced
blood flow to muscles and nerves, could have a knock-on effect into your elbows and wrists.
Scar tissue can also bury deep into the abdominal cavity creating bowel and
bladder problems, such as incontinence, leakage, abdominal pain or discomfort and reduced regularity of function. Corrective surgeries performed on infants can create a lifetime of problems - all due to scar tissue.
Besides affecting the mechanics of the body and how we walk and move, build up of scar tissue can seriously impede organ function.
The good news is that scar treatment massage has proven results in correcting dysfunctions caused by scar tissue.
