Scar Release Therapy in Cambridge, ON
Drug-Free Treatment for Painful & Restrictive Scar Tissue
Scars are more than a cosmetic concern. Whether caused by surgery, injury, trauma, or inflammation, scar tissue can restrict movement, compress nerves, disrupt circulation, and contribute to chronic pain—sometimes years after the initial injury.
At Galt Physiotherapy, we offer Scar Release Therapy (SRT) in Cambridge, Ontario, a safe, non-invasive, and clinically supported treatment designed to restore healthy tissue function, improve mobility, and reduce pain associated with scars and adhesions.
What Is Scar Release Therapy (SRT)?
Scar Release Therapy (SRT) is an advanced, drug-free treatment that uses microcurrent point stimulation to address dysfunctional scar tissue at a cellular and neurological level.
SRT is designed to reduce the negative effects scars can have on the body, including:
- Pain and sensitivity
- Restricted movement and tightness
- Fascial adhesions
- Altered muscle activation
- Disrupted blood and lymphatic flow
This therapy is effective for both new and old scars, even those that have been present for many years.
Why Scar Tissue Can Cause Ongoing Pain & Dysfunction
Although scars may appear healed on the surface, underlying tissue changes can persist. Scar tissue and adhesions may:
- Compress nearby nerves
- Limit joint and muscle mobility
- Alter posture and movement patterns
- Contribute to chronic pain conditions
- Interfere with exercise and daily activities
Addressing scar tissue directly can play a critical role in long-term pain relief and functional recovery.
How Scar Release Therapy Works
Scar Release Therapy uses low-level microcurrent stimulation applied gently to each side of the scar. This treatment is delivered using the Dolphin Neurostim™, a medical-grade device developed to support nervous system regulation and tissue healing.
Microcurrent stimulation helps to:
- Increase cellular metabolism and protein synthesis
- Improve circulation in scarred tissue
- Reduce adhesions and fascial restrictions
- Restore tissue mobility and elasticity
- Decrease pain and hypersensitivity
Clinical research has demonstrated up to 73.2% pain reduction after a single application (IJCAM, 2017).
