C- Section Scar Massage: From 3 Months

We’ve teamed up with Clare Bourne a leading women's physiotherapist, for a demo on C-Section Scar Massage from 3 months, and on older scars:

These techniques are for when you feel really comfortable with light touch of the tummy, and light touch of the scar.

Check out our other videos for C-Section massage from 6 weeks post-op:

⬇️ 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 healthcare provider first.

You can start from 6 weeks post surgery, and also months & years after you have had surgery. Scar tissue builds up and even older scars benefit from scar massage x

My c section scar is 4 years old and completely attached to my abdominal muscles. Can massage still help? Or would I need surgery to fix this?
I have constant lower back pain and I'm thinking the scar is the cause.
