Scar Release Therapy at PT’MOVEMENT Wellness Centre
Using Dolphin Neurostim® Microcurrent Therapy
Scars tell the story of healing, but sometimes the tissue beneath the surface doesn’t heal as freely as we’d like.
Following surgery, injury, or trauma, scar tissue can occasionally contribute to pain, tightness, restricted movement, altered posture, or ongoing discomfort. Even scars that are years old may continue to affect the way surrounding tissues move and function.
Scar Release Therapy using the Dolphin Neurostim® is a gentle, non-invasive treatment designed to help improve the mobility of scar tissue while reducing tension and sensitivity in the surrounding tissues.
Using low-frequency microcurrent, the Dolphin Neurostim® stimulates specific treatment points around the scar to help restore tissue mobility and support the body’s natural healing processes. Treatments are comfortable, require no needles, and most patients experience little to no discomfort during the session.

Every scar is different, and results vary from person to person. Your practitioner will determine whether Scar Release Therapy is appropriate as part of your individualized treatment plan.
What to Expect
Your practitioner will begin by assessing your scar and surrounding tissues to determine whether scar tissue may be contributing to pain, movement restrictions, or altered function.
Using the Dolphin Neurostim®, a handheld microcurrent device, gentle stimulation is applied to specific treatment points around the scar. Treatment is typically comfortable and many patients describe the sensation as mild or barely noticeable.
Depending on your needs, Scar Release Therapy may be combined with chiropractic care, physiotherapy, soft tissue therapy, therapeutic exercise, or other rehabilitation techniques to help optimize your recovery.
