Narbentherapie – Osteopathie Theresia Reimann

Scar Therapy

Scars form as a result of the wound healing process after surgery and injuries.

The scar tissue differs from the original tissue, often limiting the mobility of the scar or the surrounding regions. The lack of flexibility often shows up not only at the scar itself, but at other places on the body, leading to tension and (chronic) pain.

Why should a scar be treated?

More flexibility with the help of scar therapy! The focus of scar treatment is to make scars mobile and thus functional again. What does that mean? The body is a functional unit.All structures should be free to move or have the ability to adapt to the body’s requirements. If adhesions or scars form, the body loses its ability to be flexible or to compensate. Since the scar is made of connective tissue, it can cause fascial tension that can also affect the musculoskeletal, organ, and nervous systems. Common consequences include back pain, neck tension, headaches, jaw pain, menstrual pain, lumbago, the feeling of not being able to breathe or move freely, and many others. With my extensive experience in hand therapy, among other areas, I have been working with scars for more than 10 years.

Pre-operative treatment

When can a scar be treated?

The better the tissue is cared for and relaxed, the better the chances for good wound healing. I make a first impression through a physical check-up. We can discuss planned surgeries together and work out relaxation and tissue care exercises, as well as breathing exercises, in advance. The post-operative care of the scar is also discussed and explained in detail. For example, before a mastectomy.

Pre-operative treatment

Scar treatment after an operation

No scar is too “old.” Even after many decades, scars can still be treated well and sustainably. The scar that appears superficial can also affect many other structures and regions in depth after years. During the testing of the scar, the mobility and fascial connections of the scar tissue are examined. Osteopathic techniques allow me to work precisely on individual structures.In some cases, direct techniques like the Liedler concept are suitable. The goal is long-lasting free movement and pain relief. Individual exercises are demonstrated and discussed. Because many techniques can be done independently at home.This makes the scar and the body freer and more mobile.

about me

For more than 15 years, I have been working with great fun, enthusiasm, and passion in the physical therapy field.

The complexity of anatomy, physiology, and the interrelationships of the body fascinate me greatly, which is why I strive to continually expand my medical knowledge and further train my hands through continuing education.

During my studies and various further training courses at home and abroad, I have learned different approaches to osteopathy, which have significantly expanded my osteopathic horizon.

what is important to me

Consideration of the patient's wishes

The human body is fascinating, with many different structures and functions that are closely interconnected. The emotional situation and personal experiences also play a significant role, as they have a strong impact on the body. Therefore, I design the treatment to be completely individual to best support you in your entirety.

Involving patients

During treatment, it is important to me to involve the patients. For a sense of one’s own body, understanding, and a transparent overview of relationships enable solutions and an individual approach to abnormalities or pain. I’m happy to take the time to explain the relationships between anatomy and physiology in more detail.

Consensus and awareness in my work

Every person has had different experiences with themselves and their own body and knows themselves best. In my examinations and treatments, I find it important to have a consensual approach, in which the boundaries of my patients are respected and decisions about treatment are made together.

I am aware that people can be affected by various forms of discrimination and may have had negative experiences in the healthcare system. I try to be sensitive to this. If there are any topics or wishes, I am always available to discuss them.

Interdisciplinary work

I also care a lot about interdisciplinary work. I am happy to facilitate a joint exchange or work with treating physicians, midwives, physical therapists, or occupational therapists at the request of the patient.
