C-Section Scar Therapy (C-Section Massage)
Following a Caesarean birth, many women experience ongoing discomfort such as itching, numbness, restricted movement or a pulling sensation around the scar. These changes can also contribute to aches and tension elsewhere in the body, including the hips, lower back, abdomen or chest. Visually, scars may appear red, raised or sensitive.
C-section scar therapy is a specialised, hands-on postnatal treatment that combines gentle scar massage techniques on and around the scar with therapeutic massage, breathing techniques and a diastasis recti (abdominal separation) assessment. This holistic approach supports scar mobility, helps prevent adhesions, reduces pain and sensitivity, and encourages a deeper reconnection with your body after birth.
Each session is fully tailored to the individual, self-paced and respectful of your comfort and healing journey. Treatment also includes guidance on suitable C-section scar care products and simple, effective at-home massage techniques to support ongoing recovery.
Treatment can usually begin once your scar is fully healed (typically around 6–8 weeks post-birth), but scar therapy can also be beneficial months or even years after a Caesarean.
Please get in touch to discuss how C-section scar massage or another women’s health treatment may support your recovery and wellbeing.
