Yes, scar tissue can be treated, even decades after surgery, and it matters because most of what a scar does happens beneath the skin. Massage therapist Marjorie Brook, creator of the STRAIT Method (Scar Tissue Release and Integrated Therapies), joins Dr. Dean Mitchell to explain how scars form, how they differ from adhesions, and why healed tissue can stay restricted and affect movement, circulation, and lymphatic flow. She explains why she believes aggressive early rehab can work against healing, what gentler care looks like, and why itchy, numb, or tight C-section and mastectomy scars are often scar tissue that can be addressed. She also covers when scar work can begin, how stretching works with the body instead of against it, and what to say if you are told scar tissue is simply something you have to live with.Follow The Smartest Doctor In The Room on Apple Podcasts or Spotify so the next episode comes to you.
