Burn Scar Massage
Burn scar massage is a supportive, hands on therapy that can play an important role in life after a burn injury. At Changed by Fire, burn scar massage is offered as part of a holistic approach to healing that honors both the physical and emotional impact of burn recovery.
For many burn survivors, scars are more than visible reminders. They can affect mobility, comfort, body awareness, and emotional well being long after wounds have healed. Burn scar massage offers gentle, intentional touch that supports healing in a trauma informed and survivor centered way.
How Burn Scar Massage Supports Healing
Burn scar massage focuses on working with healed scar tissue to help support comfort, flexibility, and connection to the body. For burn survivors, this modality may help with:
-
Supporting range of motion and mobility
-
Reducing tightness and discomfort in scar tissue
-
Increasing circulation in affected areas
-
Supporting relaxation and nervous system regulation
-
Helping survivors reconnect with their bodies after trauma
Many survivors describe burn scar massage as an important step in feeling more at home in their bodies again, especially after long periods of medical treatment and recovery.
A Trauma Informed Approach
At Changed by Fire, burn scar massage is approached with care, consent, and respect. We understand that touch can be complex after trauma. Sessions are paced according to individual comfort, and survivors are always in control of what feels right for them.
This modality is not about fixing or changing scars. It is about offering support, awareness, and gentle care in a way that honors each survivor’s unique experience.
What to Expect During a Session
Each burn scar massage experience is individualized. Sessions may include:
-
A conversation about comfort, boundaries, and goals
-
Gentle manual techniques focused on healed scar areas
-
Education around self massage or body awareness when appropriate
-
A calm and supportive environment
Sessions are designed to meet survivors where they are in their healing journey, whether they are newly healed or years beyond their injury.
