"I really liked how the course encouraged creativity and experimentation and I loved the use of models for real-life application. My key takeaway was how important it is to overall bodywork to consider the role that scars play in restricting movement and overall function." - Jim L. OTR/L, BS

​

"This is one of the first courses I have taken that I have gone back to the clinic and used more than 1 or 2 techniques. I have picked a few I use consistently but then add others depending on the scar." - Pam A. PT

​

"I have been finding myself automatically incorporating ScarWork into a lot of physical therapy sessions and have been noticing excellent outcomes. It has been fun to compare bilateral total hips, total knees, shoulder repairs and how much more mobility is regained by incorporating ScarWork, compared to previous surgeries. ScarWork has also addressed lingering pain after surgeries that I previously would have expected would take more time to resolve (e.g., biceps pain after RTC repair+biceps tenodesis). I have also noticed good outcomes with old scars (both cosmetic or pain generating) that I have addressed for fun on friends and family. Thank you for the unique opportunity to broaden my toolbox to ultimately improve outcomes for my clients." - Alyssa W. PT, DPT ​

​

"This was an excellent learning experience in my 20+ years of being a bodywork practitioner. A different paradigm with real-time, real life results. Watching Michelle work on a model the first day was crucial for me given the lightness of the work which may not have made sense to me if I was shown the techniques first. Great job!" - JL
