C-Section, Hysterectomy & Scar Adhesions.
Scars may look “fine” but it’s the things we can’t see that can affect how you feel and move.
After any surgery or trauma to tissue; the healing process beings when collagen fibres are laid down to create powerful healing bonds that aid recovery but can also lead to the formation of adhesions. These adhesions can then create dysfunction as their strong structures can bind to nearby organs and tissues within the pelvic cavity and around the site of the wound. This can then cause that pulling, trapped or dragging sensation that some ladies experience around the scar when performing certain movement or activities
Once the C-Section/Hysterectomy scar has fully healed on a superficial level, I perform scar therapy on and surrounding the scar itself with the aim to start gently before the adhesions increase in density and need deeper work in order to get positive results. Starting sooner rather than later is always best but I’ve worked on scars that are 15-20 years old and had amazing results so never give up on soft-tissue

Pelvic organ dysfunction, incontinence, scar pain , back pain, poor sensation/numbness and a sense of restriction after the C-Section/Hysterectomy procedure are often due to the build up of post-surgical adhesions.
Massage also has the benefit of being relaxing and encourages blood flow and oxygen to the site of healing to improve the healing process.
