Curious about Scars?
Do your clients have scars?
Did you know scars can contribute to common pain conditions like low back pain, headaches or restricted breathing?
Gentle scar therapy is an emerging modality and holds huge opportunities for practitioners who want to grow and develop this area of their practice.
Never refer out your clients for scar treatment again... in fact, have other health professionals refer their clients to YOU.
In this workshop you'll experience working with members of the public who have untreated scars – so you can see the before and after results live, and see how amazed the models are!
