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. Although a scar can appear healed on the surface it runs much deeper and shouldn’t be ignored.

Meet Claire
Claire McKenna is a local Harpenden based Osteopath with over a decade of experience. Often in the pregnancy and postnatal period postural changes can take place due to the challenging physical demands placed on the body and underlying misalignments in the body can be painful and exhausting. Seeing an osteopath that specialises in pre and postnatal care can be hugely beneficial. They use a variety of very gentle techniques to help realign the body and release areas of tension which can help relieve pain and discomfort and aid for a smooth and natural delivery. You can then use your pilates exercises to try to maintain alignment and good posture.
