Scar Therapy in Banbury: Gentle, Effective Treatment for Scar Tissue
Scars often carry stories of strength, survival and healing. However, they can also bring feelings of unwanted tightness, unwelcome appearance, discomfort and pain.
At Ashburton Therapy Clinic in Banbury, I offer gentle, supportive scar therapy designed to help you reconnect with your body, ease tension and feel more comfortable in your skin.
What Is Scar Therapy?
Scar therapy is a gentle, hands on treatment that helps to soften and release scar tissue. It can improve mobility, reduce numbness appearance, discomfort and support the natural healing process. Whether your scar is from surgery, injury, burns or another experience, the tissue beneath the surface can sometimes restrict movement and affect how your body feels day to day, it can also have a huge impact on how you view your body.
You might notice:
A sense of tightness or pulling
Reduced flexibility in the area
Tenderness or discomfort
Numbness
Bumpy or uneven appearance
Neck and shoulder pain if the scar has altered your posture
Lower back pain if the scar is around your abdomen
These sensations are more common than many people realise. But the good news is, you don’t have to just "live with it."
In our sessions, we work together, at your pace to release these tensions. The aim is to give your body the space it needs to move more freely and comfortably again.
Often just one or two sessions can produce dramatic benefits with permanent changes to the feel and look of the scar.
You don’t have to carry discomfort or tightness on your own. Let’s explore what’s possible, gently, together.
Personalised Treatment Options
Every scar tells a different story. That’s why there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. At Ashburton Therapy Clinic, I offer a wide range of therapy techniques to meet you exactly where you are.
Your treatment may include:
Gentle scar tissue massage
Myofascial release to reduce restrictions
Techniques to support lymphatic flow
Space to process any emotions your healing journey may bring
I work with all kinds of scars, including those from:
Post-surgical scars: Mastectomy, lumpectomy, hysterectomy, C-section, appendix, gall bladder, and joint replacement scars (knee or hip surgery).
Trauma or injury scars: Including burns and muscle tears.
Facial scars: Helping to restore natural appearance and comfort.
If you're unsure whether your scar is suitable for therapy, you're very welcome to get in touch or book a free discovery session. I am always happy to guide you gently through the process.
A Special Interest in Recovery
Scar therapy isn’t just a service I offer it’s a part of my professional passion. I have a special interest in the way the body heals after trauma or surgery and I understand how deeply scars can impact both physical comfort and emotional wellbeing.
Sometimes, clients tell me they haven’t felt truly at ease in their bodies since their operation or injury. That’s a powerful thing to carry. My role is to provide a space that’s calm, supportive and built around you where your needs are heard and your healing is always guided by care and respect.

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon after surgery can I start scar therapy?
Scar therapy usually begins once the wound is fully healed and closed, typically around 6 to 8 weeks post-surgery. It’s best to get clearance from your doctor before beginning treatment.
Is scar therapy painful?
No, scar therapy is gentle and should never be painful. Some areas may feel sensitive, but everything is done at a pace and pressure that’s comfortable for you.
Can old scars be treated?
Absolutely. Even scars that are many years old can benefit from therapy. Many clients notice improvements in movement, comfort, and even the appearance of long-standing scars.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on your individual needs. Some people feel a difference in just a few sessions, while others benefit from regular, ongoing support. We’ll discuss your goals and build a plan that works for you.
Do I need a referral to book?
No referral is needed. You can get in touch directly by phone, email, or through the online booking system. I’m happy to answer any questions before you decide to book.
What should I expect in my first session?
We’ll begin with a relaxed conversation about your scar, your health history and what you’re hoping to achieve. Treatment will only go ahead if you’re comfortable and everything will be explained clearly, with space to ask questions.
