Caesarean Section Scar Massage
I'm a trained specialist in caesarean scar massage, certified by leading UK experts at HLP Therapy. My personalised treatments can help soften scar tissue, reduce tightness and visibility, and restore comfort and movement. As an experienced midwife, I understand that a caesarean is major surgery—your recovery deserves dedicated care. With more women having caesarean births, careful healing and aftercare are more important than ever.
Scar therapy can begin from 6 weeks post-surgery, once your skin is fully healed with no stitches or infection—and there’s no time limit to start. Whether it’s weeks, months, or even years later, this therapy can still support your healing.
Not sure if you’re ready? We’ll talk through your recovery in a friendly, no-pressure consultation.
Benefits of C-section Scar Massage Therapy:
Reduces Scar Tissue: Helps break down excess tissue, aiming to prevent thick or raised scars.
Improves Skin Flexibility: Releases tension, restoring movement in the skin.
Relieves Pain and Discomfort: Eases tightness, pulling sensations, and other issues like constipation, numbness, back pain, or hip discomfort.
Boosts Circulation: Stimulates blood flow, aiding the healing process.
Improves Scar Appearance: it can support, flattening, and reduces the visibility of the scar over time.
Reduces Numbness: Enhances nerve function, improving sensation.
Supports Emotional Healing: Helps you reconnect with your scar, promoting emotional well-being.
What to Expect:
Consultation: In our first session, I will assess your healing progress and discuss any concerns related to your scar—such as tightness, discomfort, or appearance. This will also include an evaluation of your posture, movement, and a full scar assessment. Please note, scar therapy is only recommended once your skin has healed, with no infection or stitches remaining, and when you feel comfortable with your scar being touched.
Gentle, Targeted Techniques: Using specialised C-section scar massage techniques, I will apply gentle, focused pressure tailored to your individual needs.
Evidence-Based Recommendations: I will provide guidance on scar care products that can support your healing process, some of which will be incorporated into the treatment.
Aftercare: You will receive advice on how to continue your scar healing journey at home.
