STRETCH MARKS
Stretch marks can occur in both sexes at any age and are
certainly not solely associated with pregnancy. They can
occur with a sudden change in weight or even in children
after a spurt of rapid growth. When the skin has to stretch
for any reason the connective tissue has to be elastic enough
to allow the movement of one layer of skin on the other.
If the connective tissue tension is tight the tissue tears
instead of stretching rather like an old elastic band.
TREATMENT
Stretch marks are often hereditary but can be prevented by
Connective Tissue Manipulation, which
ensures that the connective tissue in the skin is elastic
enough to enable it to stretch without tearing.
