C-Section Scar Massage

C-section scar massage should not be performed before the incision has fully healed, typically around 5-6 weeks. If you have any redness, heat or swelling around the scar, please contact your medical provider before beginning scar massage.

Scar massage should not be painful, though it may be uncomfortable. It’s normal to have soreness in the hours and day or two following c-section scar massage but if you notice increased pain, please stop and contact your provider.

I had a c-section 34 years ago. I've never heard of scar massage until recently. Now that I'm 60 I'm having urgency when peeing. I have no pain at all with my scar but it's very tight and way in deep and I definitely have a shelf. Can I still benefit from scar massage? I don't care about how it looks, I'm wondering if it could help my urgency issues. I've been examined and have been told my pelvic floor muscles are in very good condition.
