Meet Emma 

Emma Holly is a Harpenden based Scar Therapist.  She specialises in scar therapy If you have any tightness, numbness, pulling sensations or soreness around your scar she can help.  As a scar heals collagen fibres are laid down at the site of injury to create powerful healing bonds that aid recovery however these adhesions which initially have a hugely positive role to play in wound healing but can then create the foundation for dysfunction as their structures can bind to nearby organs and tissues around the site of the wound.
