Hi Tenee - As for working the scar, I recommend cross fiber manipulation with a little palpitatory technique thrown in.  It gets tricky if the area is highly sensitive.  Usually scar tissue has very little feeling to it.  This technique is done with no lubricant at first.  Then there are several oils that can be topically applied (about 9) of which I forget at the moment which ones they are.  I know Rosemary was one of them.  Moving on, I would recommend "Aquaphor" which is a type of Vaseline that is dermatologist recommended.  have client apply to the site twice a day for about 6 months.  That should make a huge difference.  If she has had radiation, be aware that you will probably find other lumps in the breast tissue.  They are scar tissue, but if she becomes concerned tell her to check with her doctor.  Do not get upset or she will see your concern and think there is more too it.  If there are other lumps present the radiologist or regular doctor will be monitoring her.  Let her know if you feel something and then just tell her to make sure to tell the doctor so that he/she is aware.  At the same time putting her at ease.  NOBODY PANIC!  If she had Chemo there will be tenderness somewhere I am sure, be gentle.

Well, that is my thoughts on the subject.  Hope everything works out for you.  It is a learning experience.

I am working with my first lumpectomy client. She recovered from chemo and finished radiation. She has MAJOR adhesions where the lumps were removed. How does one approach this sensitive area to help loosen them up to give her more mobility? I know about scar release but this is much more intricate, yet massive at the same time. Knowing it will take time..how can I help her as well as send her home with homework? Thanks.
