About the Course

Scars are often treated as a cosmetic afterthought, judged by how they look rather than how they behave. In this course, Hannah Poulton takes clinicians through what is actually happening in the tissue, from the moment of injury through clotting, inflammation, tissue formation, and remodelling, and why the collagen laid down in repair never quite matches the skin it replaces. You will cover the different scar types, the role of fascia in restriction, what the worldwide research currently supports, the emotional impact of scarring, and how scar therapy is applied in practice.

A scar is the end point of a five-stage process. This course walks through injury, clotting, inflammation, tissue formation, and remodelling, and explains why the collagen your body lays down is organised differently to uninjured skin.

Scar tissue rarely stays where you can see it. Learn how fascia carries restriction beyond the visible scar, why symptoms can appear at a distance from the site, and what that means for assessment and treatment planning.

See what scar therapy looks like when it is applied, through before and after photographs, a worked case study, and a review of what the international research currently says about scar mobility and outcomes.
