Awesome Scar Tissue Release Session

22-12-2019 by Trevor Thomas

When I was eight years old in 1984 I had an accident where my left hand smashed through a glass panelled door. The deep jaggered cut was some eight centimeters long and I lost all feeling in my left thumb. It remained this way for about six and a half years when the intense feeling of pins and needles started. Over the next six months, full feeling in the left thumb returned. Seven years later a large piece of glass protruded from the scar and was easily removed. Since the accident, I have not been able to touch the scar until 2019 when Tricia from Country Harmony spent fifteen minutes of Scar Tissue Release on it. I find it hard to believe that with one treatment, that scar under my left thumb can be touched, rubbed, and treated just like my uninjured right hand. After the follow-up treatment, I now have full movement of the thumb and the colour and appearance of the scar is so less noticeable. Whatever trauma I have been carrying to the hand for all those decades has completely gone and it only took two short sessions to achieve. Thanks Tricia, I am very grateful.
