Ep 476 – Marfan’s Syndrome and Scar Tissue: “I Have a Client Who . . .” Pathology Conversations with Ruth Werner

In this podcast episode, the hosts tackle a listener's inquiry about effectively and safely treating scar tissue in a client with Marfan syndrome. They clarify that while Marfan syndrome isn't a complete barrier to massage, the focus should be on enhancing tissue flexibility and fluid movement instead of aggressively attempting to "break up" scar tissue. The conversation highlights the stages of wound healing and advocates for techniques like shearing, avoiding excessive stretching, and closely observing the client's reactions. The experts also critique the conventional idea of breaking up scar tissue, urging a more refined approach based on the latest research in fascia and connective tissue.
