After surgery, healing involves more than just wound closure. The body must reorganize, calm the nervous system, adapt tissues, and release both physical and emotional tension. In this sensitive phase, touch plays a crucial role—especially through professional scar therapy.
Uli’s method is based on deep, non-invasive work with the skin, scar tissue, and surrounding areas. Gentle touch stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which supports relaxation, regeneration, and self-regulation. Particularly in the first weeks after knee surgery or other procedures, this form of touch reduces stress, improves sleep, and regulates pain perception.
Many patients say they can’t “feel” their scar or that the area feels “foreign.” This is no coincidence. Surgical interventions can irritate or sever nerve endings, disrupting normal sensory function. Scar therapy reawakens that sensation. With targeted, mindful touch, the tissue is invited to reintegrate—both physically and emotionally.
Manual techniques also release adhesions in subcutaneous tissue, promote circulation, and help drain excess fluid (edema). These processes are essential for keeping scar tissue supple and preventing long-term stiffness, pain, or postural compensation.
The emotional effect of touch is also significant. Many people associate their scar with trauma—not just visually, but symbolically. Uli’s method respects these emotions, offering care that treats the body not just as a “patient” but as a partner in healing.
Each session begins with a conversation and individual scar assessment. The focus is not just on physical appearance but how the tissue responds, current sensations, and personal goals. Based on this, a tailored treatment plan is created.
After just a few sessions, patients often report noticeable changes: less tension, restored feeling, reduced pain, and warmer skin tone. The body begins to remember how to move without restriction.
Professional touch in scar care is not wellness—it’s a functional therapy with profound impact. It supports not only physical recovery but also a return to a self-determined, active life. That’s the goal: not just to heal, but to feel at home in your body again.
