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 performance
Scars can disrupt muscle chains, limit motion, and reduce proprioceptive feedback—the body’s ability to sense its position and movement. In sports like soccer, tennis, or skiing, this feedback is critical.
Functional scar care, as practiced by Uli, takes these factors seriously. Through a combination of manual therapy and neuro-stimulation, the scar area is “unlocked,” adhesions in fascia are loosened, and sensorimotor balance is restored. The body can move efficiently again—without subconscious compensation or restriction.
Benefits for athletes:
-
Greater knee control and joint stability
-
More confidence in motion
-
Less muscle overload
-
Faster return to training
-
Lower risk of re-injury
Conclusion:
If you want to return to peak performance after knee surgery, don’t ignore the scar. It’s not just a mark—it may be the key to fully regaining your performance.
