Scar tissue massage after back surgery can be very beneficial to patients. Whether you’ve had a laminectomy, microdiscectomy, spinal fusion, vertebroplasty, or kyphoplasty, scar tissue is part of recovery.
Scar massage, during the proliferative stage, has a beneficial role in collagen synthesis, as it prevents adhesions and helps in collagen synthesis. Also, this mechanical stress when applied to the intermolecular bonds helps in realigning collagen.
Your environment can influence mood and even effect your health. For example, the results of several research studies reveal that healthy, energetic, positively charged environments can improve health outcomes and speed up recovery from injuries or illness. Improves conditions that can effect depression, agitation, sleep and even impact healing. Pain relief and better sleep have always been linked to your mood.
Studies have shown that time in and around spaces where you feel safe and welcome can be an antidote for pain and stress. It can lower blood pressure and stress hormone levels. It can also reduce nervous system arousal, enhance immune system function and improve healing and recovery from injury. This can in turn increase a persons self esteem, reduce anxiety and improve mood.
