Let's start with a little physiology lesson. Muscle fibers, ligaments, and tendons have a specific direction the fibers go. It works kind of like the lanes of a road. Everything goes smoothly as long as all of the cars follow the lane markers. This is called a striated tissue. Most of the muscle tissue in the body is striated in this way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62df68dfb6a96635d084f3ed/1669320095135-6S2ZROOWQ09F5L09JDC4/unsplash-image-Gj65EQ7GiwQ.jpg Blog - What is Post Surgical Scar Tissue Release? With Post Surgical Scar Tissue Release, we go in and utilize a few techniques to break down and reform that omnidirectional tissue to reform in a more striated way to follow the striations of the tissue it’s connected to. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62df68dfb6a96635d084f3ed/1669319842558-7G53D3HLIM1GU0F19IUK/Best-massage-beaverton Blog - What is Post Surgical Scar Tissue Release? For post surgical healing, we separate it into 3 different categories - Inflammation - The initial healing phase when the surgical site is Red, Hot, Swollen, and Painful. The body focuses on reducing the chances of infection and increasing the blood flow to the area. It generally lasts from 1 to 3 days. Proliferation - This is when the collagen starts to form and the healing process shifts from infection prevention to rebuilding the tissue. This step generally goes from 4 to 21 days. Remodeling - This is when those omnidirectional fibers start to form and the collagen from the hardens into scar tissue. Generally last from 21 days up to a year, depending on the size of the incision site and its location. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62df68dfb6a96635d084f3ed/e09d871c-02dd-4254-b3da-c55fbd521ed6/best-massage-therapist-beaverton Blog - What is Post Surgical Scar Tissue Release? - The main benefits of utilizing this modality are: Increasing local blood flow to the area.

Scar tissue, on the other hand, is what’s called an omnidirectional fiber. Have you ever dropped a cup of pens on the ground? Notice how they point in every direction at once? That’s how scar tissue forms. In our body’s infinite wisdom, it decided this was the best way to repair soft tissue, having the fibers go in every direction at once. The main problem with this is, when the muscles around the scar tissue contract, it can create microtears in the soft tissue where the scar meets the healthy muscle, causing the scar tissue to grow. https://bespokebodyworkbeaverton.com/blog/massage-therapy-and-mental-health monthly 0.5 2022-11-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62df68dfb6a96635d084f3ed/1669250933090-61KS2HM5M0LBFEZFDLOC/Massage-therapist-beaverton Blog - Massage Therapy and Mental Health - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62df68dfb6a96635d084f3ed/7b585061-f6ff-484f-b8d0-d65e9ad91fbf/massage-for-depression Blog - Massage Therapy and Mental Health - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62df68dfb6a96635d084f3ed/1669251404859-LB7S87F5EVDJRTNZ0TV2/unsplash-image-ezOKZhYJAFo.jpg Blog - Massage Therapy and Mental Health Another wonderful benefit of massage therapy for mental health is, it’s a way for you to intentionally spend time with your body and to listen to it.

This study also shows how regular massage therapy can help to keep a regulated nervous system by activating the parasympathetic response, the “rest and digest” response. Another study here confirms this information. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62df68dfb6a96635d084f3ed/2bef6e5e-8c28-4b1f-9afc-3841e1adfaca/Massage-Therapy-and-Mental-Health.jfif Blog - Massage Therapy and Mental Health https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62df68dfb6a96635d084f3ed/1669250971849-FJ9QDL7NQ3O3ER10SG28/best-massage-therapist-beaverton Blog - Massage Therapy and Mental Health - Massage Therapy also helps to boost circulation which is vital to maintaining a healthy body.
