Healing Hands: Confidently Caring for Your Scars

 

Your body is incredible, and surgery, radiotherapy and other treatment is a testament to its resilience. As you embark on or continue your healing journey, caring for your scar becomes a vital part of your self-care routine. It's natural to have questions or even anxieties about your scar, but I'm here to show you that you have the tools and knowledge within you to approach this with confidence and control.

In these videos, created by myself and Janey Barrett for Penny Brohn UK, you'll find clear, actionable guidance on scar care techniques – from preparing your skin before surgery to gentle, effective methods for nurturing your healing tissues afterwards. Our aim is to demystify scar care, providing you with practical insights that make a real difference. Your scar is a symbol of your strength, and learning to care for it is an act of profound self-love.

Let's unlock the power of self-care for your scar, giving you peace of mind and supporting your body's remarkable ability to heal.

"Since joining Kate's exercise classes I have found my body much more supple and not so stiff when getting mobile after resting.  Our exercises are individually tailored to suit each person.  The classes have a fun side to them and I have made some good friends.  Could not wish for a better teacher."  Jo, Cancer Rehabilitation.
