The Bodywork Guild First-of-its-Kind Scar Therapy Workshop

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Bodywork Guild, a continuing education platform for massage therapists launched by Bodywork Professionals, the massage and bodywork experts, hosted a four-day Scar Work therapy workshop featuring therapist and renowned founder of Scar Work, Sharon Wheeler. 

The first-of-its-kind offering in the Capital Region began with a Scar Work demo with Wheeler on March 31 followed by four days of classes from April 1 to April 4 at the Roosevelt Baths & Spas. Practitioners attending from across the Northeast watched as Wheeler worked on volunteers with natural and surgical scar tissue and learned techniques to take home and use in their private practices. 

Scar Work, Wheeler’s original discovery, is rarely painful, even for very new scars, and the cosmetic effect and functional changes can be profound. The work starts with the surface layers of lumps, gaps, ridges, holes, bumps, knots, and strings in the tissue and goes into the far reaches of the scar for resolution of trauma and nerve-impaired numbness. Scars of any age respond immediately, followed by a short period of rapid healing and permanent improvement. 

“Bodywork Professionals is a skills-based business, and we are dedicated to providing educational opportunities for our therapists to improve their skills and enrich their services,” said Nick Pavoldi, Founder of Bodywork Professionals. “We believe in the body’s powerful ability to heal, and we believe in our ability to help. You are in good hands with Bodywork Professionals.”
