THE MONDAY WEBINAR SERIES:
Adhesions vs scars. What's the difference?
LIVESTREAM - Monday 30 March 2026 7pm BST
The recording will be available for 14 days after broadcast
Scars and adhesions are often used interchangeably and shouldn't be.
.
Scars also tend to be seen as problems to be fixed and
adhesions as things to be “broken down.” This can sound convincing and very 'hands-on' in a therapy setting.
But when you actually look at real human tissue rather than diagrams, the story becomes far less tidy. Most scars are not the problem people think they are and most adhesions don’t behave in the way we’ve been taught.
This session draws directly from cadaveric dissection rather than.
idealised anatomy textbook simplifications, to look at
real tissue variation.
Using dissection footage, we’ll explore:
Adhesions within the thorax that don’t behave like “glue”
Visceral relationships in the bowel that challenge simple mechanical explanations
Scars that are structurally robust, integrated, and often unproblematic
The four types of scar tissue we will encounter
The language of 'Scar Tissue Release' is often very familiar. It talks of 'Stuck' tissue that needs to be 'released' or 'broken down.'
“Release the adhesions!"
But what does any of that actually mean and are we really changing tissue or doing something else entirely?
When you step into the dissection room and start following layers through the thorax, the abdomen, the bowel… what you see doesn’t quite match the narrative.

READ SOME REVIEWS
Don't just take our word for it...
"To 'see' the soft tissue we as therapists think we influence is a privilege. Julian Baker makes all the right connections between the 'tissue' and considerations for therapeutic intervention. Functional Anatomy is a must for all 'hands on' therapists. It is also a must for the 'hands off' body of therapists! Seeing is believing.."
"Captivating, often bizarre and incredible insights into the human body like you have never seen before. Always life changing sessions, questioning the “norm” as we are taught it and bringing new dimensions to your practise.
If you attend one of Julian's classes your working brain will be changed forever - for the better and you will only want to see more!! His humour is also legendary!!"
"I have just participated in the scar tissue dissection course. This is an incredible lesson in anatomy. Julian takes you on a journey thru a human body like you've never been before. It is amazing to see how a human body is really built, how strong, how resilient. Eye-opening and educating. Thank you.
I will be back for more."
