Could an old scar be affecting how your body moves and heals?
Here's something fascinating: Your belly button is actually your first scar!
Dr. Christine Schaffner explains why scars aren't always just marks on the skin. Scar tissue can sometimes create restrictions in the surrounding fascia, potentially affecting mobility and normal tissue movement.
She also shares her perspective on the relationship between scars, lymphatic drainage, and emotional memory.
In this conversation:
✅ Why scars may make fascia denser and less flexible
✅ How scar tissue may affect normal lymphatic flow
✅ Why some people notice improved movement after scar therapy ✅ Why Dr. Schaffner considers both physical and emotional experiences when evaluating scars
In the full episode of The Shivan Show, Dr. Schaffner also discusses jaw cavitations, what happens during cavitation surgery, and the potential role of exosomes in inflammation research.
While some of these connections are still being studied, understanding how scar tissue affects movement and surrounding tissues may offer a new perspective on your body's health.
Have you ever noticed tightness or restricted movement around an old scar?
