In this episode of Root to Rise, Dr. Emily Splichal welcomes Cyndi George, an international instructor in McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release, to explore scars beyond their surface appearance.

Together, they discuss how scar tissue can affect local sensation and mobility, why a scar may deserve attention long after the skin has healed, and what a gentle approach to scar work involves. They also explore the personal experiences scars can carry and the importance of feeling comfortable reconnecting with these areas of the body.
