More Details About This Video:
Learn how to get rid of scar tissue with scar tissue mobilization. Any time you have a surgery or injury, the area scars up. Scar tissue is great for healing, but then it has nowhere to go and can cause problems in the long run. Make sure to talk with your doctor or PT before doing this because you want the incision or injury site to be completely healed before you start.
To help break up the scar tissue, you can start with “warming up” the tissue in the area first. You can use a massage cream or lotion, but you don’t have to. Start off by pushing very lightly and make small circles directly over the scar. Then you can go up and down and side to side. Once you have done that about a minute, you can start pushing harder. This might be painful now, and you might feel some pops underneath. That is the scar tissue breaking up. It is normal and necessary.
Now you can actually take the top layer of skin and start twisting it up and down, side to side, and in circles. You are just trying to move that top layer around to break up the scar tissue from the layer below. Try doing this 3-5 minutes 1-2 times a day.

Doctor Jo i have a scar on my eyebrow. i've had it for 1 year now and i wonder, even if the scar fades away will there ever grow hair back?
Unfortunately, probably not.
What kid of cream do I use
Any lotion or massage cream should be fine.
I had a tibial plateau fracture with compartment syndrome. It took 3 surgeries and 2 weeks in the hosp. When released it took 6 months to get to a cane. Now 1 1/2 years later i still cannot bend my knee. My leg swells in 3 hrs and locks up. Can scar tissue prevent me from bending my leg? I can bend about 70degrees first thing in the morning . I havent had therapy except after surgery. This is because i am poor and cant miss anymore work for therapy. I almost lost my house and went 6 months with no water. I am getting better financially so i will be able to go to therapy in a couple weeks. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Ngl this works i was skeptical but I did it for a few weeks and the scar is now flat to my skin and a lot less noticeable. Thank tou
You're welcome.
how old was yours?
Thank you ♥️🙂👍💓
Do you have to keep doing this after the scar is flat??
I have a scar on my arm its puffy and is skin color happened from cut will it work for me?
This video shows how to help get rid of scar tissue with simple mobilization techniques.
Doctor joe so my foot pain went away i thought it was a serious injury but no i feel much better i went back to running on Sunday but I've been feeling tense on the neck shoulders and arms when running now i know that is due to poor posture so do you have a video on back strengthening ? If you don't can you make one please !!!!!
Manuel Mora These might help: www.askdoctorjo.com/content/shoulder-and-thoracic-back-strengthening Good luck!
It is more likely scar tissue depending on how much rehab you did for your tendonitis. Do you stretch your ankle/calf/achilles tendon?
I would check in with a doctor to make sure orthotics would help.
What about the scar tissue on my rotator cuff? How can I break that up or heal that? The pain never completely goes away. Everytime I do weight lifting exercises involving my shoulder the scar tissue ruptures, and the cycle starts over again. Inflammation, scar tissue, inflammation, scar tissue. Any advice? thank you.
I literally just started massaging my rib surgery scar tissue recently because it feels so tight and it’s been a year now but after massaging it a little bit I can definitely feel a little difference thank you.
You're welcome.
Thank you so much for this. I had a ganglion cyst removed from my wrist and no one told me about this till today, 1 month and 2 weeks after my surgery. So this was extremely helpful. Thanks again.
You're welcome.
Hello, could you tell me how long it took for you to feel 100% after your surgery? I am on my week 6 and still can't make a fist, can't bend my wrist or hold a mug. My fingers are sore. I thought this surgery was going to be way easier to recover from.
@@tatianaormaeche8027 how is your recovery going? I had mine 4 weeks ago. I’m a bit disappointed with the progress I’m making.
@@rosagroen2964 my surgery was on September. I am on my 6th month and even though my hand is way better, still is not 100%. If I just knew this, believe me I wouldn't do it. I'd rather keep my ganglion cyst but I also know everyone is different. Unfortunately, my experience wasn't the best. Hope you feel better soon
@tatianaormaeche8027 How do you feel an year later? I recently got one and its been 3 months and I can use my hand but Have little to none mobility when bending the wrist.
Put a screw in the pad of my finger and after it healed completely I had a puffed up, highly sensitive scar in the worst of places compromising my grip strength in my left hand. (I can hold my weight up for 20-30 seconds right hand only but can’t even take my feet off the ground left handed from the pain in my finger)
Using Doctor Jo’s method for about 1-1/2 months I can now barely feel the scar at all and it’s completely invisible to the eye! I truly can’t believe the difference this technique has made in such a short time. Thanks Doctor Jo!
My son has been having a SCAR in his head, within 2-3 weeks it healed really good than other scar removers and stuffs…. Thanks a lot Dr. Jo!🙏
You’re welcome!
@@AskDoctorJo Love and support from Nepal
Does it work for old scars
Has he got his hair back?
Great video. I am a massage therapist and this is the most important type work I do along with releasing adhesion due to scar tissue. Thanks for teaching your work to the masses who are not into natural health. These techniques should have been taught to us as children. It took my many surgery's to find a type of bodywork that is meaningful.
Thanks!
Can this work for lower abdomen scar tissues ? Around the inguinal region ??
@@s_keri7126 I feel it can. I have alot of scars from surgery when I was a child. They removed part of my Intestines. Those scars are a bit softer now since I found this type of work.
@@amyalewine can you please suggest a link to how and what type of massage I need to do? I’m all the way in the Caribbean and we don’t have these types of massage therapists in my country as of now. And I can literally feel bumps around my Incision areas. Did laparoscopic surgery in February. Please and thank you 🥺
Can this works for white cuts scars please help me please 🥺
Do the massages also work for burn scars? I have one on my neck from the curling iron? I will start today and update everybody!! ❤️🙏
Does this work for sunburn scars?
After just watching this video my pinky knuckle scar that was so sensitive & pretty painful feels so much better already. Thank you.
You're welcome.
What's the oldest my scar can be for this to be effective?
Right ?
Doesn't matter how old this method will work
@@dalebrown2128 even if it’s been decades ?
@@kevinsamson1693 might take longer but will still work. (Not for keloid scars. I'm not a doctor)
I always get scars even from like a paper cut I'm going to try this
Did it work?
Same
I think it's working! Been trying this most days for about two weeks now, I feel like I can already see a difference (might just be a placebo effect). I feel like my scar is getting less textured. (My scar is a surgical scar from two years ago.) Hope that helps someone :)
Edit more than a month in: I feel like it is continuing to help! I tend to do it right before bed, and I try to do it as close to once a day as I remember, but it's usually more like once every 3 days.
Please explain what u do to remove your scar
@@priyamehta642 watch the video
I literally got a scar from a ingrown hair after it was taken out . It’s a small spot but now it’s a little bumpy and I hate that my skin darkens so easily naturally one feels bumpy others don’t but still it’s so annoying to half when I get a scar and the belly area is not a pretty thing gonna try this
Does this work on old scars and what is the best cream to use?
I've been told that there is possible tendon adhesion. I got cut and stitched on back of my palm, index finger (knuckle) and wound was already closed, however, i cannot bend my finger to the fullest like doing a fist and it is a bit swolen. Had my ultrasound this afternoon and i'm scared for the result as i don't want to get a surgery or cut again just to fix the possible tendon adhesion. I find ur video and so thankful that tjere is a hope , possible i can just lift the skin and massage the affected area. I,'m so afraid to touch it after the cut had been closed but after worrying that another surgery would happen, i tried moving it as mom told me to stretch and bend my finger and do exercises, and ur video of massage is so perfect. I pray that everything will be ok not only for me but to all who just like me is suffering and recovering. Bless ur channel.
Thank you. Good luck.
@AskDoctorJo I'm having the same problem with my right pinky finger. It was fractured, the Dr. put a plate in it and afterwards I haven't been able to bend it. The Dr. said it's bc of scar tissue. Do you think this will work?
I've two pimple scars exactly in the middle of my eyes and nose and one scar on my nose, does it work on me???
What’s this product called ? And I have a scar right on my lip this would help still ?
Can I use something like Vaseline, instead? My son has a scar on his face and I'd like to try this
It was a 4 minute miracle. I was in so much pain last night that I did a search and found this video. Dr. Jo said it’s best with cream and the cream was on my nightstand. By the end of the video I was done. She said you could do it up to three times a day so in the middle of the night, I put my hand on my leg to massage the scar again and it was gone. So, is the scar tissue! I have so much more mobility now and I am amazed at how easy it was. I have suffered for 4 years. When I told my doctor how it has been immobilizing me, she said the pain is probably coming from your low back. I said no it’s coming from the scar tissue on my leg. Sometimes I get really aggravated at the doctor’s office. But Dr. Jo, I can’t thank you enough!
You're welcome! I'm glad it's helping.
What kind of Massage Cream Did You Use??
It's called Free Up.
I'm trying to get rid of scar tissue from years of infusions on my stomach, so im hoping this works👏
Could u do this on your face to old scars?
I guess yes
Does this work for scar tissue under the skin?
Idk..
I think it does
Did it work for you?
Does this work the same for internal scar tissue caused by inflammation or is that different?
When should i start this massaging after my de quervains surgery that is tomorrow?
-How long would it take for the scar tissue to disappear completely?
Please tell me all of it goes away and disappears completely.
Is there anything else that you suggest i should do to maximize and expedite my recovery?
I really appriciate for all the answers i get. I need help and guidance real bad.
Can u pls tell me how much time this process will take to remove my 2 weeks old scar???
Can this be used for acne scars on face??
I have been doing it for almost 2 weeks and guess what it really works. The scar on my leg is less visible now.
Does apply to a scar that is over 20 years old?
Which cream is best to eliminate scar
Is there a brand of cream that you recommend? I had a foot surgery and I am struggling to break up the scar tissue after three months. Thanks so much for the video. My scar is on the top of my foot at the base of my toes so its hard to manipulate. I am eager to try your techniques.
You're welcome. The cream I am using is called Free Up: amzn.to/3HKo70P (affiliate link), but it's a bit pricey. Any cream or lotion should work.
It can remove the white scar which u have on ur hand???
I have a scar on the back of my head , bumpy , has been there for 5 / 6 years .it’s now giving me problems . Would the product help?
I have a deep scare on my forehead occurred by an accident 30 years ago. Can I permanently remove it? Please suggest.
Can i use any different type of cream?
I wish you were my PT! I learned so much more from your video than from my session with my PT who seems to not know so much about scars. I got a diagonal laceration 3 months ago from the middle of my eyebrow down to the edge of my eyelid. So much scar tissue underneath still that my eye looks a bit swollen. Can't wait for it to go away.
Thanks :-) I hope this helps get it to go away!

These might help. Good luck.

Yes.

Thanks so much for the video. Twisted my ankle 4 months ago. Partial ligament tear. Ankle is still swollen. Can your scar tissue mobilization technique help get rid of the swelling?
Samy Merchant You're welcome! It might help to increase the circulation which will help get the swelling out! Good luck!
Hello, Thank you for the information. Can it be used for internal scar tissue after hemithyroidectomy to reduce the tightness in the neck?
Similar techniques can be used, but it's best to have a health care professional show you how to properly do it on that area.
Thank you
You're welcome.
does this work for old scars?
Is it possible to get rid of scars that aren’t on the skin with these techniques or is it just for skin?
I have internal scar tissue in my knee after an old injury. This is causing me a lot of pain and inflammation. Can internal scar tissue heal? Thank you so much!
Yes use deep tissue message

Hello doc i have a question : How i can remove scars after recovery from measles
I have internal scar tissue in my shoulder blades from a car accident years ago. Lately I’ve been exercising a lot! And I’ve been in pain almost every day. What do you recommend doing?
Your whole shoulder blade area is hurting, or in a specific area?
@@AskDoctorJo I have scar tissue all around my shoulder blades.
Some general shoulder stretches might help: ruclips.net/video/6jHsraw2NIk/видео.html But the best option would be to get some manual work done in person from a physical therapist.
@@AskDoctorJo ok thanks!
You're welcome! Good luck!
Sorry but what kind of cream? Any body type? Or a specific one?
It doesn't matter, but I'm using FreeUp. You can find it here: amzn.to/42zJPgs (affiliate link)
Hello😊
I was looking for advice and found your video and I'm so thankful.
I had a nasty fall when I hooked my foot on a wooden board and went down like a dropped log hitting my face between my eyes and eyebrows on the door ledge.
The nurse who removed my stitches said that I must leave it open and do salt rinses.
An ugly scab formed and t'was quite hard. I decided to cover it again and it healed better.
Because of where the injury is, its awkward to keep it dressed so keeping it open and applying arnica oil and gently rubbing to try and smoothen it. The oil softened the scab so i pulled it off last night. It looks and feels like a big blister and 2 little ones as well. The skin tore differently so have what I'd say is a patterned scar.
I just held a hot water bottle on it and massaged the wound and applied some pressure. I could feel scar tissue moving.
So I was on the right track and this video just confirmed that I I had the right idea only because I was trying to do my own thing🙈.
Thanks again 🌹.

Will this work on a bump of scar tissue from 5 years ago?
Marcus B. Following
I dislocated my shoulder 17 years ago and now I finally discovered the muscle that has never rehabilitated: my right infraspinatus. Finally I am doing external rotation the proper way, not letting my posterior deltoid to dominate. Most likely I have scar tissue there? How would I go about breaking that up?
Stretches and exercises should help break it up. If not, it might be worth talking with your doctor about an injection that might help break it up.
Does it work on 6 months old hypertrophic scar⁉️
I got stiches on my thumb and my new tissues is popped up and I want to get rid of it. So would this massage help?
Madam it's only 10 days after I had my ganglion cyst removed by surgery and I am witnessing a scar tissue up there on my wrist , should I start this process right now or should wait for some time? Please help
Can this work with internal scar tissue from surgery?
Thankyou, I have cellulitis scars that cause a lot of problems. I will try this
You're welcome.
Can this be done in face in the lips? I had an accident and I feel scar tissue inside my lips but it’s quite firm.
Will it work on fresh wound ? If it does then it will hurt so , will it be good to do this on that situation?
Is this for internal or external scar tissue?
Both as long as you are cleared by your doctor to start doing it.
Can anyone tell me will the scar will completely disappear after doing this without leaving mark????
From what I’ve heard the scar won’t ever fully disappear, but it will become less visible over time .
@@latitia3390 tysm☺☺☺☺
Does this also help with flat scars? I have a few and they are still pink and purple ish. Will this method also work for the color discoloration?
I subscribed.
Hey for the people wondering. It doesn’t work. I suggest using pure vitamin E oil and apply it on ur scars. It will take time tho :)
@@Lina.Charif1201 How old is your scars? , is it a white flat scars? , and what improvement that happened to you? can the colour changes?
@@hextagon8268 almost a year I guess. They r now white and their not flat anymore. I did not use this method I just accepted it and let it fade away with time
Which cream to use on scars?
hey doctor jo, i recently got hit in the lip by a baseball and my lip spit from the inside, my inner lip was hanging out of my mouth, i had it stitched
up and it has healed. the laceration didn’t go outside of my mouth. now that it has healed it feels like lump. it looks swollen but it isn’t, it’s just the scar tissue inside of my lip, do you have any tips to reduce the large bump of scar tissue? it makes me super self conscious. Thank you!

Would this work for insulin injection site scar tissue?
Can i remove my acne scars also?
Will this get rid of the scar completely? Is it possible to completely get rid of it?
+Wranghorn The scar will always be visible, but it depends on how old it is. You can get it so the skin is smooth again, and the scar is not very noticeable. Good luck.
Thank you so much. I've been trying to look for some place to try and help me get rid of myself harm scars that I Fab for a little bit in our desperately trying to get rid of. Thank you so much :)
You're welcome.
Did it work
Will this work on older scars, i have scars from like 4 years ago, will this help to remove them?
what is the name of the cream you applied or used
It's called Free Up. You can find it here: amzn.to/3u8u68P (affiliate link)
Got a surgery 1 month ago, and while the external scaring is perfect, I got an accumulation of fibrous scar tissue under the skin, causing this part of my body to be swollen, with a hard part under the scar. I really hate that, and would love it to disappear. The doctor advised me to do massage, but I don't really know what kind of massage I should do. Should I do those on the video ?
Thank you so much, and have a good day 😊
hey dr. Jo Hope you read my comment
I have scars on my hands that remind me of a tough time in my past. Can you suggest a cream or laser treatment? I'd like to feel confident wearing T-shirts again. Many say there's no solution, but I remain hopeful. I'm interested in the method you showed in the video. I'd appreciate any recommendations. Thank you.
Depending on how old the scars are, it might be worth talking to a dermatologist. If they are old scars, they might have some options to help reduce them.
Is it ever too late? I have a four year old scar from a knee replacement.
Is it remove 20 years old scar in face?
Does this work for older scars too?

Thanks again
I am doing it on my new scar, never thought of this. Does this heal old scars? Please upload a video on burnt skin scar.
It really depends on how old the scar is.
Will massage help w/ild, sunken scarring? There are varying opinions.
If the scar is bound down (stuck underneath), it might help, but I don't know for sure since I can't evaluate you.
