What is MPS Scar Release Therapy?

MPS stands for Microcurrent Point Stimulation. MPS Scar Release Therapy uses gentle microcurrent stimulation at specific points in and around scar tissue.

The goal is to support the body's natural healing and tissue response while addressing areas that may feel restricted or sensitive.

Rather than focusing only on the appearance of a scar, treatment considers the mobility and function of the surrounding tissue.

MPS Scar Release Therapy may be appropriate for scars resulting from surgery, injury, or other trauma to the body.

How can scar tissue affect the body?

Scar tissue is part of the body's normal healing process. However, as tissue heals, changes in the surrounding connective tissue can sometimes contribute to feelings of tightness, pulling, sensitivity, or restricted movement.

Depending on the location of the scar, these restrictions may affect how you move or how comfortable certain activities feel.

For example, someone may notice:

• Tightness around a surgical scar

• Sensitivity or tenderness around a scar

• A pulling sensation with movement

• Reduced mobility of the tissue surrounding a scar

• Discomfort when clothing or pressure contacts the area

• Restrictions following abdominal or pelvic surgery

• Changes in movement following an injury

Not everyone with a scar will experience these concerns, and the presence of a scar does not necessarily mean treatment is required.

What types of scars can be treated?

MPS Scar Release Therapy may be considered for a variety of healed scars, including:

C-section scars

Pregnancy and C-section recovery can create significant changes throughout the abdomen and pelvis. Once the incision has healed, some people continue to experience tightness, sensitivity, or restrictions around the scar.

MPS Scar Release Therapy may be incorporated into postpartum care when appropriate.

Surgical scars

Scars from abdominal, orthopedic, or other surgical procedures may sometimes contribute to localized tissue restrictions.

Injury-related scars

Scars resulting from injuries or accidents can sometimes affect the mobility of the surrounding tissues.

Other healed scars

Your practitioner can assess the scar and surrounding tissues to determine whether MPS Scar Release Therapy may be an appropriate treatment option.

What can I expect during treatment?

Your first appointment will begin with a discussion of your history and your concerns.

Your practitioner will assess the scar and surrounding tissues and develop an individualized treatment approach.

During treatment, gentle microcurrent stimulation is applied to specific points around the scar and surrounding tissue.

Treatment is generally well tolerated, and you may feel little or no sensation during the process.

Your practitioner will explain each step and make sure you are comfortable throughout your appointment.

Does MPS Scar Release Therapy hurt?

MPS Scar Release Therapy is designed to be a gentle treatment.

Most people find the treatment comfortable, although individual experiences can vary depending on the location and sensitivity of the scar.

If an area is particularly sensitive, your practitioner can modify the treatment accordingly.

When can I have scar treatment?

The timing of scar treatment depends on the type of scar, the procedure or injury that caused it, and how well the area has healed.

Treatment should only be performed once the area is appropriately healed and your practitioner has determined that it is suitable for care.

If you are recently postpartum or recovering from surgery, speak with your healthcare provider and your Good Wellness practitioner before beginning treatment.

How many treatments will I need?

There is no one-size-fits-all treatment plan.

The number of sessions depends on factors such as:

• The age and type of scar

• The size and location of the scar

• The condition of the surrounding tissue

• Your symptoms and goals

• How your body responds to treatment

Your practitioner will discuss a recommended treatment plan with you following your assessment.

MPS Scar Release Therapy for C-Section Scars

At Good Wellness Clinic, we understand that postpartum recovery involves much more than simply healing from birth.

For individuals who have had a C-section, the scar can sometimes feel tight, sensitive, or restricted even after the incision has healed.

MPS Scar Release Therapy can be incorporated into a broader postpartum care plan when appropriate, alongside physiotherapy, pelvic health care, chiropractic care, and other supportive treatments.

Our goal is to help you feel comfortable and confident in your movement as you return to the activities that matter to you.

A whole-body approach to scar care

At Good Wellness Clinic, we don't look at your scar in isolation.

Depending on your individual needs, your care may include:

• MPS Scar Release Therapy

• Pelvic health physiotherapy

• Chiropractic care

• Mobility exercises

• Rehabilitation exercises

• Manual therapy

• Education and self-care strategies

Your practitioner will help determine which combination of services is appropriate for you.

Is MPS Scar Release Therapy right for me?

MPS Scar Release Therapy isn't appropriate for every person or every scar.

An assessment allows us to understand your history, evaluate the scar and surrounding tissues, and determine whether this treatment is appropriate for you.

If you're experiencing tightness, sensitivity, or restricted movement around a healed scar, we'd be happy to discuss your options.

You don't have to ignore discomfort simply because your scar has healed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does MPS stand for?

MPS stands for Microcurrent Point Stimulation, a technique that uses gentle electrical stimulation at specific points to address areas of tissue restriction and sensitivity.

Can MPS Scar Release Therapy remove my scar?

No. MPS Scar Release Therapy does not remove a scar. The focus is on the function and mobility of the scar and surrounding tissues rather than simply changing the appearance of the scar.

Can MPS help with an old scar?

Potentially. Scar tissue can remain present long after an injury or surgery has healed. Your practitioner can assess an older scar and determine whether MPS Scar Release Therapy may be appropriate.

Can I have MPS after a C-section?

MPS Scar Release Therapy may be appropriate following a C-section once the incision and surrounding tissues have adequately healed. Timing varies from person to person, so an assessment is important.

Is MPS the same as massage?

No. MPS Scar Release Therapy uses gentle microcurrent stimulation at specific points and is different from traditional massage therapy.

Can MPS Scar Release Therapy be combined with pelvic floor physiotherapy?

Yes. Depending on your individual needs, MPS Scar Release Therapy may complement pelvic health physiotherapy and other rehabilitation approaches.

Is MPS Scar Release Therapy safe?

MPS Scar Release Therapy is a non-invasive treatment, but it isn't appropriate for everyone. Your practitioner will review your health history and determine whether it is suitable for you before treatment.
