Feasibility Trial of ScarWork for Post-breast Surgery Pain Syndrome.

ScarWork is a manual therapy technique involving gentle, hands-on massage of scar tissue. It is designed to improve the mobility and integration of scar tissue, reduce discomfort, and support tissue healing. The approach is tailored to each individual, based on the characteristics of their scar and sensitivity of the surrounding tissue. It is commonly used with people recovering from surgery or radiotherapy to help address symptoms such as pain, tightness, numbness, or altered sensation. In this study, participants in the intervention group will receive up to five ScarWork sessions delivered by a trained therapist, in addition to standard care.
