MSTR (McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release)
MSTR (McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release) is a revolutionary technique for changing the nature and effect of scars and scar tissue developed by Alastair McLoughlin. It was developed for use on post-surgical scarring from accidents, trauma or elective surgery. The technique can help to release the limitations of scar tissue formation and help to restore the tissue to a more normal level. It is a technique that can be used on scars of all ages.
This is a technique for those people who feel that their scar is causing discomfort or pain. A scar may be limiting your joint mobility. Or you cannot feel your scar or around it, presenting you with the problem.

Numbness of a scar and/or surrounding tissue
