“I've witnessed moderate to significant changes in the characteristics of people's scars over the course of months-years. I don't think it had anything to do with my work on/around their scars, as these people also experimented with other things that are touted as beneficial, such as silicon tape, but I've seen shifts and variations in the thickness, depth, and sensation. Almost like there is a fluidity to the tissue, it can develop whirls and I often think that portions look like soundwaves. It's super neat, and I don't know what to make of it, but I consider it sort of beautiful and heartening that there's so much permutation to the process.”

“Post mastectomy or top-surgery, often what I see is that over the course of a several-month healing process, is that people are accustomed to protecting those areas (and are sometimes told to keep those areas/surrounding joints relatively immobilized for way too long), and so what may manifest as feelings of weakness/restriction can be connected to postural changes associated with guarding/prolonged protective postures and disuse. It can be super beneficial to explore light mobility and gentle load exercises like window washers/dowel ROM/rolling a ball on a surface to get people used to engaging with their new normals.”
