C-Section Scar Massage - From 6 Weeks

⬇️ Why do I need to perform a scar massage?⬇️ ⠀

▪️Massage can help avoid the build-up of scar tissue. ⠀
▪️After a C-section, scar tissue forms underneath your skin all the way down to your uterus. ⠀
▪️This scar tissue is called adhesions. Adhesions can spread and stick to anything, not just the tissues they are trying to repair.⠀
▪️Bowel obstruction, pain, reproductive issues, and feelings of restriction can all be caused by scar tissue, so it is so important to address it early. ⠀

▪️Numbness after a C-section is caused by damage to the nerves in the tissues as they are cut through to bring your baby out. For some women, this can be a scary and uncomfortable feeling and a lot of women say they don’t feel connected to that part of their body anymore. However, as usual, your body will start to repair itself and new nerves can start to grow back and knit together again. ⠀

This massage is safe from 6 weeks post-surgery but always check with your health care provider first.

Is it too late to start at 7 months pp?

[Kim_Ngumbela]

How do I do this massage when my scar is hidden under my fupa? Its not as visible as the lady in the video, its literally hidden on my fupa lining if that makes sense.

[la_privatechef]

My scar is fading almost fading away is about 4 inches but above my scar my small fupa it's hard i dont like it! my daughter's are is 8yrs and 3 yrs old and when I try to massage the area and stretch my skin is very sensitive to the stretch if this makes sense 🤷🏼‍♀️
