How can we help you?

Restore Therapy Clinic Ltd. is owned by Emma Holly, one of UK’s leading scar tissue therapist. Emma and together with Vickie Maher and Tina Glynn they form a specialist clinical team. All our clinicians  are educators in Restore Scar Therapy, teaching other therapists within private practice and NHS scar massage and other skills for trauma and surgery recovery. We can help you if you have had any surgery or trauma that has created scar tissue adhesions or fibrosis including internal scar tissue.  We are specialist in non-invasive, manual scar treatments incorporating Restore Scar Therapy, ScarWork™ kinesiology tape and cupping for scars, LymphaTouch negative pressure and Deep Oscillation (non-invasive) medical devices are incorporated to help promote healing in old and new scars

Release Tightness
Scar therapy can help loosen and release tight scar tissue to reduce discomfort. Treatment can be beneficial on both new and old scar tissue.
Support Emotional Wellbeing
Gentle therapeutic touch can be powerful way to aid emotional recovery and help accept changes after a surgery or accident.
Help Restricted Mobility
By reducing tightness and encouraging mobility between the layers of skin, fascia and muscle, the client's range of movement can often improve.
Stimulate and Boost Healing
Scar massage is often recommended by surgeons to promote optimum scar healing after surgery & may minimise long term complications.
Reduce Sensitivity and Pain
Trapped nerves and irritated scar tissue can be a factor for prolonged discomfort. Therapeutic touch may reduce pain and help normalise sensitivity.
Holistic Scar Healing
A tailored programme focusing on diet, exercise and manual treatments, can help optimize your scar healing and general wellbeing.

The Team

The Restore Therapy team will work together to help you after a surgery or trauma leaves scar tissue complications. We can help with a scar assessment in early recovery, together with some personalised advice for you to carry on at home, to providing an in-depth series of appointments over a number of months to help improve complications you maybe facing associated with your scars, such as pain, sensitivity or limited movement. Capsular contracture and other common complications after breast surgery should respond well. Issues with digestion such as cramping or bloating after pelvic or abdominal surgery, and other adhesion related issues may improve.
