SCARS, ADHESIONS AND THE BIOTENSEGRAL BODY
Jan Trewartha is the co-editor and lead author in this innovative book. With forewords from Robert Schleip and Carol M. Davis, and contributions from other leading specialists, this well-illustrated book explains the effects of scars and adhesions on the body through the lens of biotensegrity, a concept that recognises the role of physical forces on their formation and structure. Through this comprehensive explanation, the reader gains a deeper understanding of these complex issues as well as guidance on assessing and working with scarring. A resource valuable to every hands-on practitioner. Available for just £39.00, click below to order your copy.
At Body in Harmony Training our passion is, through training and education, to help therapists learn to work with light touch, to help their clients at a different level. We believe that healing comes from dealing with a problem at the source, not just from “putting a plaster over a wound’. To this end we teach courses that get to the heart of a problem, using light touch techniques that are easy on the therapist and well received by the client.
If you would like to book up for one of our courses, be assured they will be run intelligently and with good hygiene. For full updates on courses running, please join our newsletter.

The subtlety involved feels like magic. I feel as though my body has been reawakened after being stuck for so long. You get used to existing in a state of being that isn’t natural, but becomes your new normal. There’s a sense of freedom. I’m able to take a full lung, and I feel like my life can really start living, no longer stuck suspended in trauma. I can never thank you enough. Lexi Nicholson – scar model
The ScarWork was wonderful. I felt safe and nurtured by both my therapists. The movement was gentle and yet profoundly successful. I left the studio feeling much more open in my right hip. I felt less stressed and softer in my abdomen. I felt tired, early to bed. It lifted my mood greatly. Helen – scar model
Felt amazing, so much more flexibility in my shoulder, left pec has much more space. Tummy scar feels so much more integrated and soft. Right breast scar feels smaller. Back scar worked on, shoulder more relaxed, more movement and able to take deeper breaths naturally. Thank you. Lynn Reid – scar model
Amazing that such gentle touch can bring about such profound sensation and change. I am very grateful for the opportunity to model and would highly recommend it. GE – scar model
It’s given me a gentle way to work with scars, that I can add to my acupuncture treatments or do standalone. Such important work. Sarah Barnard – ScarWork student
After many years as a massage therapist, this ScarWork course has been enlightening, grounding and, literally, life changing. Both personally with my own scars and professionally how, moving forward, I can be of service to others so in need. It is so important. Thank you. Helen – ScarWork student.
