Combined with traditional medical treatment, burn scar massage therapy effectively controls the development of scar tissue and helps burn victims heal more quickly. When combined with stretching, massage can make the scar looser and more comfortable and improve the range of motion.

When a burn occurs, the injury may take months to reveal itself in scarring and loss of mobility fully. Burn scar massage therapy is a highly effective tool for promoting skin rejuvenation because burned skin needs special care. Soothing and restorative, this massage helps keep burned skin soft and supple as it heals and helps burn victims better function in their daily lives.

Once a burn scar has matured past the threat of shearing or pulling away from healthy tissue, many doctors advise their patients to undergo burn scar massage therapy as a part of their recovery treatment plan. Burn scar therapy combines gentle massage strokes, pressure, skin moisturizers, and heat when performed at least once a day during the critical healing period. The result is more flexible skin, less pain and itching, and less­noticeable scarring.
