Scar Care After Knee Surgery

Knee surgery places significant stress on both the joint and the surrounding skin. After the procedure, a visible scar often remains that requires careful care. Without proper scar management, complications such as excessive scar formation (arthrofibrosis) or infections can occur. Since the knee is a highly active joint, it demands special attention. A well-cared-for scar […]

The Importance of Touch in Postoperative Rehabilitation

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. […]

Treating Old Scars – Is It Still Worth It?

Many people live with old scars—reminders of surgeries, injuries, childbirth, or illness. Often, these scars seem unproblematic from the outside. But beneath the surface, they may cause tension, pain, or movement limitations. The good news? Even years later, professional scar therapy can bring relief. Old scars can act as interference fields, disturbing movement chains, posture, […]

Preparing Physically and Emotionally for Surgery

Successful surgery doesn’t start in the operating room—it starts weeks before, with physical and emotional preparation. Research shows that patients who prepare mentally and physically recover faster and with fewer complications. Uli’s method supports the body on all levels before surgery. Preparation involves activating circulation, loosening fascial tension, and improving tissue elasticity. Gentle touch and […]

Benefits of Scar Therapy for Knee Prosthesis Patients

Knee replacement surgery is a major procedure aimed at relieving pain and restoring mobility. But even with a well-positioned prosthesis, many patients experience lingering discomfort, tightness, or limited range of motion—often due to untreated scar tissue. That’s where Uli’s method makes a crucial difference. After surgery, swelling is common. The lymphatic system slows, the knee […]

The Connection Between Scars and Chronic Pain

Scars are silent reminders of past operations, injuries, or illness—but they’re often more than skin deep. Many people continue to experience pain, numbness, burning, or tension long after their wound has closed. In some cases, these symptoms persist for months or years. The reason? Scars can perpetuate chronic pain processes. Uli’s method recognizes this connection. […]

How Fascia Affects Healing After Surgery

Fascia—the connective tissue that runs throughout the body—plays a much greater role in the healing process after surgery than previously thought. It connects muscles, wraps around organs, carries nerve pathways, and holds our body structure together. But when fascia is disrupted through surgical trauma, inactivity, or stress, it can become tight, sticky, or painful. This […]

Knee surgery in athletes – why scar care affects performance

Athletes know their bodies well. After ligament repair or meniscus surgery, the goal is clear: return to sport quickly and fully. But even if muscle strength returns and the joint seems stable, many feel something’s off. That “block” often comes from the scar. Scar tissue and athletic performanceScars can disrupt muscle chains, limit motion, and […]

Old knee surgery – new opportunity: how scar care helps even years later

Many people live for years with lingering effects of a knee surgery. Though the outer wound may have healed, the feeling remains: “Something still doesn’t feel right.” The knee feels tight, numb, or hypersensitive to weather changes. Often, the cause lies in the scar itself. What happens to old scars?Scar tissue changes the body’s structures […]

Scar care after knee surgery – the underestimated key to recovery

A knee surgery—whether due to osteoarthritis, ligament rupture, or meniscus injury—is a major procedure. While physical therapy, mobilization, and pain management are usually the focus, one crucial aspect is often overlooked: scar care. Scar tissue forms where the skin and deeper structures have been damaged. In knee surgery, this includes not only the surface of […]
