Scar Therapy

At PhysioHealth and CanConquer, we understand that a scar is more than just a mark on the skin, it’s a story. Scars often hold not only physical adhesions and tightness, but also deep emotional memories of trauma, fear, treatment, and survival. That’s why our approach is intentionally gentle, respectful, and holistic, creating space to acknowledge and release both the physical and emotional layers of healing.

Kylie Moffitt is a Certified Oncology Scar Specialist through Restore Therapy UK – an internationally recognised program blending advanced clinical knowledge with compassionate, evidence-based hands-on care for people recovering after cancer surgery and treatment.

After any surgery, whether cancer-related or not, and following treatments such as radiation, scars and soft tissues can become ‘stuck’, forming adhesions and fibrosis that restrict movement, create discomfort, and alter how the body feels and functions.

It is a privilege to work alongside people affected by these tight, painful scars, helping them move freely again in the body they deserve.

Using specialised assessment tools, Kylie looks at the whole picture, from breathing patterns and daily activities to scar colour, thickness, sensation, and mobility. Treatment involves a combination of:

These specialised techniques support improved range of motion, reduced pulling and tightness, enhanced lymphatic flow, and greater ease and comfort, while also honouring the emotional significance of the healing process.

Whether your scars are new or long-standing, scar therapy can help you reconnect with your body, release what’s held beneath the surface, and support your recovery in a safe, nurturing environment.

Scar therapy is available as part of our oncology and lymphatic rehabilitation services.
