[libribook.com] Traumatic Scar Tissue Management 1st Edition
FOREWORDI am fond of saying that it takes a bushel basket full of knowledge and skill tointelligently apply a teaspoon of treatment. The more complex a client situationand story, the more you have to know to gently apply massage. This textbook,Traumatic Scar Tissue Management: Massage Therapy Principles Practice andProtocols, created by authors Nancy Keeney-Smith and Cathy Ryan, reflectsthese sayings in a logical, intentional and intuitive way. The text diligently butconcisely presents the information and research necessary to intelligently andintuitively support successful scar tissue formation or to improve scar tissuefunction. A scar is a solution to the problem related to injury. Because thehealing process involves scar formation, we need to respect how the body knitstogether and reforms the integrity of the body after tissue damage.The use of massage and other forms of manual therapy introduces mechanicalforce by pushing and pulling on the tissue. Regardless of the style of massagethis is what is done. Skilful pushing and pulling during massage loads soft tissueto produce a variety of strain patterns in the tissue to challenging the tissue torespond. Clear intent during the massage sends clear message to the tissues sothe response is therapeutic. Therapeutic loading technique is the overarchingterm used by the authors. Readers should be pleased with the clear descriptionsof methods in the assessment and treatment section of the text.When working with soft tissue scars, we need to consider many factors and thisbook provides the necessary information to make informed decisions to bestinteract with the each individual who seeks our help. The authors skilfully weavetogether the various approaches used by massage and other manual therapistswithout promoting one particular style. Scar tissue management is an outcomeand a process. Scar tissue management is not a method or a technique or even amodality.A scar is part of the person and cannot be separated from the experiences related
to the events that resulted in the scar. I have scars as many, if not all people do.Some scars involve soft tissue. Some scars function well. Some scars arecomplex. Some scars bind down and create limits. I had open heart surgery in2006. I have a scar on my chest that I massaged using methods described in thistext. It is a visible reminder that I am alive. Those that have scars have stories.With massage methods we can support and sustain a mobile and functioningscar. We can respectfully and compassionately listen to the story. The authorshave wisely included content in the book to help us be therapeutic listeners. Weneed to understand and acknowledge the solution the scar provided and we canhelp the scar evolve as the tissue function changes and we heal.If you are drawn to work with individuals and their scars, this book provides theinformation needed. You however will need to allow each story the scar tellsteach you how to listen.

to the events that resulted in the scar. I have scars as many, if not all people do.
Some scars involve soft tissue. Some scars function well. Some scars are
complex. Some scars bind down and create limits. I had open heart surgery in
2006. I have a scar on my chest that I massaged using methods described in this
text. It is a visible reminder that I am alive. Those that have scars have stories.
With massage methods we can support and sustain a mobile and functioning
scar. We can respectfully and compassionately listen to the story. The authors
have wisely included content in the book to help us be therapeutic listeners. We
need to understand and acknowledge the solution the scar provided and we can
help the scar evolve as the tissue function changes and we heal.
If you are drawn to work with individuals and their scars, this book provides the
information needed. You however will need to allow each story the scar tells
teach you how to listen.
