HLP Therapy are proud to share with you, that we have been awarded a Macmillan Support Grant, focusing on Scar Therapy post mastectomy.
The Macmillan support grant will help 27 individuals, who have undergone a single or double mastectomy, each receive three fully funded Scar Therapy treatment sessions. Each treatment session will focus on:
How the scar impacts the individual
The physical and emotional restrictions the scarring is causing
Treat the scar itself: by working with gentle hands on Scar Therapy massage, coupled with advising on silicone products, gels or creams to improve the function and feeling of the scar
Provide an aftercare programme, which the individual can continue at home
Provide education and ongoing support to maximise scar outcomes
Education is paramount; so a private Facebook group, will be specifically set up, for individuals receiving this bespoke treatment. Here they will be able to ask more questions regarding scar management, gain support from fellow individuals and practical advice from Leading Scar Specialist Hannah Poulton. Being part of this private Facebook group is optional. However, the additional education and support is there for individuals, should they require it.
Scar Therapy is a holistic and individualised treatment, focusing on improving scar outcomes. This gentle, hands on treatment, aims to enhance scar recovery by working near, on and over the scar. Surgery or direct trauma will result in scar tissue in the body. The scar can feel tight, red, raised, puckered, sensitive and of course there is the emotional attachment with the scar itself. Scar Therapy can help soften and reduce adhesions and scar tissue build up, thus allowing more movement and freedom from scar restrictions. We also acknowledge the emotional connections with the scar and listen and support as able.

With research showing that more than 90% of people living with illness want to be connected with like-minded patients, the team at Yara are building an innovative mobile app where like-minded patients can come together in to exchange knowledge and share experiences. Here the team behind it, tell us more.
Bowel cancer (sometimes referred to as colorectal cancer) is the 4th most common cancer in the UK with over 40,000 people diagnosed each year. Almost 9 in 10 people that receive a bowel cancer diagnosis are over 60 but survival rates are significantly higher if diagnosis is found in the early stages. April sees us recognise Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, so we've taken a look at some of the great support services available in the UK.
