Scars & Adhesions Case Study: Releasing a Shoulder Scar to Restore Strength and Mobility
Beth Beauchamp from Fascia IQ shares a real-time case study on the eve of the Scars and Adhesions online group intake (August 17), revisiting a client she worked with last year. The client previously had a large shoulder lipoma removed (6 cm x 8 cm) leaving a significant scar, and now an MRI shows fraying in the bicep tendon and supraspinatus attachment with ongoing weakness and limited shoulder use. Beth explains how scar tissue and deeper adhesions—likely influenced by prolonged compression from the lipoma—can restrict function and contribute to persistent limitations. She describes releasing the scar and working through adhered tissue layers to improve mobility and strength, with progress strong enough that surgery may no longer be needed within a few more sessions.
