Why treat your C-section or abdominal scar?

Left alone, scar tissue can cause pain and restrictions in other areas of the body, like the legs, pelvic floor, lower back and chest. Using a combination of advanced soft tissue techniques, I’ll not only help reduce the appearance of your scar, but work on what’s happening on the inside. I’ll gently encourage internal adhesions to break down, increase blood flow and stimulate your lymphatic system to remove unwanted debris. As well as your scar itself, I’ll work on your abdomen, back and hips – helping you to feel less restricted and move more freely.

What to expect from your C-section scar massage pre-screen and consultation

Before your first treatment, you’ll complete an online pre-screen when booking. This helps me get to know you and your story before we meet, including details about your pregnancy, birth, and any abdominal surgery you’ve had.

When you arrive for your consultation, we’ll delve deeper, exploring how your body feels day-to-day, any concerns you have about your scar, and what you’d like to achieve through treatment. You’ll have the time and space to ask questions and feel fully supported.

Your pre-screen includes:

• A short online form completed at booking
• Questions about your pregnancy, birth history and abdominal surgery
• An opportunity to share your main concerns or symptoms

Your in-person consultation includes:

• A friendly welcome and detailed discussion of your pre-screen answers
• A holistic chat about your nutrition, hydration, digestion, sleep, and pelvic floor function
• Exploration of any incontinence, tummy gap or medication factors
• A breathing and pelvic floor assessment (external work only), with coaching in diaphragmatic breathing
• A visual, hands-on assessment of your caesarean scar and abdomen, identifying any pain, numbness, or restriction

What will your C-section scar massage entail?

I’ll use a variety of soft tissue techniques to warm and soothe your scar and the surrounding areas. This encourages internal adhesions to break down, stimulates your lymphatic system to remove unwanted debris and encourages fresh, oxygen-rich blood flow to feed your abdominal tissue.

Abdominal scars, especially when they’re tight and/or restrictive, can cause pain or limitation in connected areas, like the legs, lower back and chest. My holistic approach considers every restriction, pain or limitation that might be connected to your scar. I use a combination of soft tissue release, fascia work, silicone cupping and instrument-assisted massage to help you feel more comfortable in your body.

In between appointments, there’ll be homework to do. That might sound scary, but don’t panic! It’s all designed to accelerate and optimise your recovery – and tailored to fit into your everyday life (no matter how busy it might be right now!). Wherever you are in your hysterectomy or cesarean scar recovery journey, I’ll give you the coaching, guidance and support you need.

Is Scar Therapy Right for You?

If you’re living with tightness, discomfort, or restriction after a C-section, hysterectomy, or any abdominal surgery, scar therapy can make a world of difference.

Many women come to me months or even years after their surgery, realising that the “pulling” or pain they feel in their tummy, hips, or lower back may actually be linked to old scar tissue. Others are simply ready to reconnect with their body after birth or surgery, and to soften areas that have felt tense or numb for too long.

Scar therapy can help you if you:
• Feel discomfort, pulling, or sensitivity around your scar
• Experience bloating, tightness, or restrictions in movement
• Notice lower back, pelvic, or hip tension that hasn’t eased over time
• Want to improve the look, feel, and function of your scar

Every scar, and every woman, heals differently. Together, we’ll work gently and intentionally to help your body feel more fluid, balanced, and at home again.
