Scar Release Massage and Clinical Massage
in Fakenham

The Tidal Therapies clinic in the centre of Fakenham, North Norfolk, specialises in scar massage and clinical massage.

As one of only a handful of scar release massage specialists in Norfolk, Linda welcomes clients from across the county, helping scars heal properly, easing discomfort and allowing a fuller range of movement.

Linda’s scar release work can be complemented by some of her other clinical massage and musculoskeletal work for a more holistic treatment.

I can honestly say that without your Scarwork and combined Myofascial Release work on my breast cancer scar, I would not have gained back the range of movement in my arm nor had relief from the discomfort of the rope-like scar formation down my arm. I can, and regularly do, thoroughly recommend your treatment

I initially went to see Linda about a hip issue. I then discovered her excellent skills in scar revision work. Having had a mastectomy and breast reconstruction many years ago, I assumed that the cramps and spasms relating to that were to be endured.

Linda’s supportive approach, and regular treatments have made these a thing of the past. Highly recommend these treatments

I had a number of surgical scars following a road traffic accident. Linda had been strongly recommended to my wife by a friend. The scar massage made an immediate difference to the appearance of the scars. But the main benefit came from the release of the (many) attachments which were impeding my range and freedom of movement. This was all interrupted by Covid but since then Linda has continued to work her magic to the point where I can walk (almost) normally.

Scar Release Massage

Scar release massage is a painless and permanent way to address symptomatic scarring by improving function and appearance.

Following operations or accidents, badly healed scars (superficial or hidden deep into the tissue) will almost inevitably lead to the development of adhesions which will restrict movement in the connective tissues of the body. Scar release massage can clear areas of congestion and enable the scar to heal properly. This work is suitable for all scar types including:

Caesarean
Mastectomy and reconstruction
Joint replacements
Key hole
Facial.

My professional Journey

I founded Tidal Therapies in 2009, initially offering Swedish massage. My commitment to helping clients with chronic pain led me to expand into specialised clinical massage and ScarWork therapy, earning a BTEC Level 6 in Advanced Clinical and Sports Massage.

My personal experience with ScarWork

My journey with scar release massage began personally following keyhole gallbladder surgery in 2013. After experiencing unusual abdominal tightness, I discovered Sharon Wheeler’s ScarWork technique, which combines Rolfing and fascial techniques specifically for scar tissue treatment. The results were remarkable:

Significant reduction in abdominal tightness
Visible changes in abdominal shape
Improved digestive function
Notable improvement in a separate ankle scar (flatter, less red, increased mobility).

Specialised training and expertise

My continued professional development includes qualifications in:

Advanced Myofascial Release techniques
Neil Asher Technique certification for frozen shoulders and rotator cuff injuries
Musculoskeletal Alignment Technique training with renowned osteopath Eric Dalton
Cranio Sacral Therapy certification from the Upledger Institute
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Reiki Level 2 attunement
Participation in the inaugural British Fascial Symposium.
