Cesarean Scar Massage - C scar release and mobilisation

My name is Megan Vickers and I’m a women’s health physiotherapist.

Scar massage post C-section is a hugely under utilised technique to improve scar appearance and tummy tone.

Ideally follow your massage with abdominal activation exercises.

Huge thanks to my model xxx

Hi, How often is it recommended to repeat the massage? Daily? Few times a week?

How well does this work after 2 section first start 5.5 yrs ago? The over hang is really bothering me. How long can I expect to see results or after that long will there be any results at all?
Thanks for the video!

This literally gives me chills, in a bad way.
I had a c section just over 1 year ago and I'm still very sensitive and feel slight pain in my scar.
I tried this technique one night and really hurt myself.
Literally the only thing that feels nice is when my partner gently rubs and tickles along my scar.
I don't think mine will ever be able to handle firm massage like this.

Is there ever a "too late for this technique"? I had my last child 4 years ago it feels like scar tissue has attached itself to other areas. AND I have the damn pooch!

I had c section three months ago. Ive been struggling with tugging and pulling sensations whenever i cough and sneeze. I can feel the pain on the end of the scar (right and left) and strong pulling feeling as well. Will this pain get better as time goes? Can this massage help reduce the pain?

[hugojames]

Does this technique work on big ugly scars as well, or only on telegenically hardly noticeable ones?

[MrsThebault]

Can this still be effective 12 years after the fact? Only just discovered you now!

[nicholecooperonline]

What if you wait a year or two after surgery... is it too late?

[jency.j.shamna]

Its 6 months since I underwent c sec surgery. My belly is bulged and hangs out. Could sense hard muscle bulges when I massage. Trying this scar massage is extremely very painful. Seems almost impossible. Is it safe? Specify Contraindications please. Kindly guide. Thank you

[remertabasson]

I did this for the first time last night and had some very light spotting during the night - good sign, bad sign or probably just coincidence? I had a c-section on 3 June 2021 and a previous one 12 June 2017 (thus about 12 weeks postpartum).

[farzanaakter]

Hey dear, is it work after 16 month from the c section?please give me your suggestion.

[Twinmommmmmmm]

Started massaging last night. I have never touched the scar in the past 5 months. Been feeling urgency to pee which has seemed to subside in the past day. Is this sometimes related? 5 months after is the body still healing? The dr never told me anything

Hi is this the only other option to treat adhesions, other than surgory? I am terrified of having painful adhesions after c section. Most people i know who only had 1 c section say they feel good and no pain.. so no problematic adhesions. What do you think are the chances of having painful adhesions after only 1 c section? What percentage you think??? And if you're unlucky and you get them, will this massage help trwat them??? Thanks!

[azraal-abbasiyya]

Hi how early after c.s can this be done

[M_musiqVevo]

I had my baby 5 months ago can I still do this?

[LouiseMcvey]

Is this sore ? I had my second section 6 months ago and want to try get rid of the pouch about my section. I can see it deflating more at one side than the other though scared to do this as I still get weird tinges and sensation at it it’s odd xx

[kevinkevz]

Is it okay to massage the csection scar if I’m pregnant coz it’s a back to back baby 2020 feb then 2021 feb?
