The rehabilitation of burns and scars depends on the maturation of the scar tissue. During the inflammation stage, all the risks of scar contracture and functional scar sequelae happen. The therapists must anticipate and prevent the possible consequences of an immature tissue. Besides the postures and the correct positioning with specific splints, manual massages are part of scar treatment. They have to be applied by specialized therapists around the scar at first and progressively on the scar or burn scar while respecting the fragility and inflammation of the tissue. The most important being in the choice of the technique is to respect the cutaneous inflammation. Copyright 2020, The Author(s).
