Scar Therapy
& Post-Surgical Rehabilitation in North Devon
Having trained under HLP therapy, Hannah Polton (UK leading Scar expert) I have the skills, compassion and knowledge required to help you right here in North Devon
The most common scars I treat are C- Section scars but over the years I have seen a huge variety such as post hysterectomy, cording post mastectomy and knee replacements.
If you have ever had a scar you may have realised they all look different. Some are thick and raised and some are feint and flat. Scars can take up to 2 years to fully mature so this gives us a great window to help improve unwanted symptoms that often accompany scars.
WHAT IS SCAR THERAPY AND HOW CAN IT HELP?
Scar therapy is a type of manual therapy that focuses on improving comfort, mobility, and function around the scar and surrounding tissues, which may become tight, sensitive, or restricted during healing. Alongside gentle manual therapy techniques, we also use the Lymphatouch Pro — an advanced, non-invasive device that applies controlled negative pressure to the tissues to support soft tissue mobility and reduce sensitivity. This combination of hands-on treatment and technology is always tailored to your comfort and stage of recovery, with the aim of helping you move more freely, reduce discomfort, and rebuild confidence in your body.

Lymphatouch Pro
LymphaTouch Pro is a versatile and efficient medical device that elevates manual therapy to a new level. The patented technology of LymphaTouch combines negative pressure and mechanical high-frequency vibration, which activates the lymphatic circulation and soft tissues in the treated area. The device can be used for pain management, swelling management, soft tissue mobilisation and scar therapy.
I am very pleased to be able to offer this fabulous treatment, with this updated model it is more effective and the results speak for themselves.
Common Questions
-
What does the Lymphatouch treatment feel like? Patients often describe a gentle 'sucking in sensation' . Most of the time it is very well tolerated and most patients find it a relaxing experience.
-
How many sessions do I need? This can vary depending on if it's a scar we are treating or trying to improve post operative swelling. Sometimes a one off session is all you need but usually between 4-6 is where we find the better results. Please do get in touch if you have any further questions !
