Post-Joint Surgery Scar Therapy
Post-Joint Surgery Scar Therapy in Long Island, NY
Restore Movement, Reduce Pain, & Reclaim Your Mobility After Joint Surgery
The missing step in joint surgery recovery. Knee, hip, and shoulder surgeries are designed to give you better function, less pain, and improved quality of life. But even after successful surgery, many people find themselves months, or even years, later still dealing with stiffness, swelling, discomfort, or restricted movement.
Often, the cause isn’t the joint itself, it’s the scar tissue that formed during healing.
Scar tissue is your body’s natural repair material, but when it becomes thick, rigid, or stuck to surrounding tissues, it can limit your range of motion, affect alignment, and cause ongoing pain. Post-joint surgery scar therapy targets these restrictions to help you move freely again. Book your appointment with Marjorie today in Wantagh, NY.
Why Scar Therapy is Essential After Joint Surgery
Every surgical incision cuts through skin, fascia, and muscle to reach the joint. As these tissues heal, collagen fibers from scar tissue to repair the area. Without proper treatment, these fibers can:
- adhere to surrounding muscles, ligaments, and tendons
- reduce joint flexibility and mobility
- increase stiffness and swelling
- create nerve irritation, tingling, or numbness
- disrupt your walking pattern or movement mechanics
Over time these tissues can lead to compensation patterns – where the rest of your body starts overworking to protect the affected joint. That can cause problems in other areas, like the back, hips, or opposite leg.
Scar therapy addresses these issues directly, helping restore smooth, pain-free movement and prevening long-term complications.
How Post-Joint Surgery Scar Therapy Works
At the heart of this treatment is the S.T.R.A.I.T. Method™ (Scar Tissue Release and Integrated Therapies), a gentle, hands-on system developed by Marjorie Brook, LMT, and taught to therapists worldwide. Each session is customized to your unique needs and may include:
- comprehensive consultation and movement assessment to identify restrictions
- manual scar release to free adhesions and restore mobility
- therapeutic stretching and movement retraining to restore proper joint mechanics
This is not a one-size-fits all protocol – your treatment plan reflects your surgery type, your current limitations, and your overall health and lifestyle goals. Additional treatment options such as deep oscillation or cupping may be recommended to improve your recovery.
Benefits of Scar Therapy After Joint Surgery
Addressing scar tissue after joint surgery can have a profound effect on both recovery and long-term function. Clients often notice:
- increased flexibility and range of motion
- reduction in stiffness, swelling, and discomfort
- decreased nerve sensitivity, numbness, or tingling
- improved circulation to aid healing
- better posture and alignment
- more confidence in movement and daily activities
- prevention of long-term compensations and chronic pain
Even if your surgery was years ago, it’s never too late – scar tissue can still be softened, released, and retrained to function better.

What Marjorie’s Clients Have Been Saying
I’ve been seeing Marjorie for three sessions so far, and the results I’ve seen with scar tissue that had really been bothering me have been—short of saying—incredible. She’s extremely talented. It’s exactly what I was looking for, and I’m genuinely excited to continue working with her.
While we’ve mainly been focused on scar tissue (which was my main goal), she also gave me a glimpse of her knowledge in stretching and body mechanics—and even that small bit led to regained mobility in areas I hadn’t felt free in for a long time. That really impressed me.
Marjorie is the real deal. I’m looking forward to what we’ll continue to unlock as we go
I met Marjorie Brook because my husband was going for some hip stretching. I’ve been to her twice now and have learned so much about my joints and how something that is tight really affects so many other parts of your body. I have much relief from seeing her, and her advice for epsom salt baths and biofreeze! I look forward to my next visit. Marjorie has so much knowledge on so many things, you learn more than stretching. If you’re thinking you need help, and you’re looking at this review, you need to call her. As my husband says; her visit is worth every dollar!
Since having a hip surgery I’ve had numerous issues with pain and discomfort. Marjorie is the first of many attempts that helped bring me lasting relief. She’s worked on scar tissue and stretching / massage … I am so grateful for the recommendation I received to see her, I feel so much better and I’m still treating so I’m sure there will be further improvement!!
I knew my total hip replacement scar was giving me some issues. I knew I wanted someone to help me navigate how to fix it. It didnt take me long to find Marjorie and I knew I HAD to see her. She helped my scar heal so much better than it was healing on its own. I was still having some pain after the surgery and the bonus was she also taught me some great things to help with my posture and how to walk as I was favoring it for many years. I can honestly say im pretty pain free now.
