Feel heard, optimise healing, recover with support
After a caesarean section (C-Section), many people experience discomfort such as tightness or a pulling sensation. This tension may cause you to experience discomfort in other parts of your body such as your hips, lower back, pelvic floor or chest.
Your scar may also look tight, raised and red which, from professional and personal experience, can have an impact on clothing choices, returning to exercise and how you feel about your body.
What happens during a C-Section Scar Therapy consultation?
During a C-Section Scar Therapy consultation, I take a comprehensive case history which includes details of your pregnancy, birth and any significant health conditions and previous operations. I will also assess your posture and movement, check your scar for any areas of restriction or tightness, and assess for diastasis rectus abdominis (tummy gap).
C-Section scar therapy is a gentle form of hands-on therapy using oils or therapy wax. Scar therapy aims to promote the circulatory and lymphatic systems around the area to help reduce pain, discomfort and may enhance the appearance of your C-Section scar.
I also advise on appropriate C-Section products to use and discuss a scar rehab plan which includes simple C-Section scar therapy that you can do at home.
Scarban® C-Section Recovery Kits are also available to buy. If you would like to purchase one, please contact me via email.
