Caesarean Scar Massage Therapy

Caesarean Scar Massage Therapy

A Caesarean is major abdominal surgery and everyone's scar and healing process is different. Whether your scar is very young, or you had your surgery many years ago, this treatment has many benefits to help you with symptoms of scar recovery and help you to feel more confident and comfortable in your body.
Caesarean Scar therapy is a gentle hands on treatment to support healing, improve scar mobility and tightness, reduce overhang and redness as well as symptoms such as itching and texture.
SJ uses additional services such as reflexology, abdominal massage and reiki to make this a truly holistic and unique healing experience.
SJ is proud to have completed training with Restore Scar Therapy. She was interested in this beneficial treatment following her own caesarean three years ago and finding no aftercare was given. This treatment fully compliments many post birth treatments already offered by SJ.

How Can Caesarean Scar Therapy Work?

As your scar heals, it can become tight, sensitive, numb or adhesions can grow and attach to organs in the abdomen. It can even cause issues throughout the body such as reduced mobility, back and shoulder pain or affect breathing.

These changes can contribute to discomfort, pulling sensations and changes in your posture.

Caesarean Scar Therapy aims to:

Improve the flexibility and mobility of the scar and surrounding tissues.

Reduce tightness, pulling, and discomfort.

Help soften the appearance and texture of the scar.

Address numbness or altered sensation where possible.

Support better movement through the abdomen, pelvis, and lower back.

Encourage relaxation and reconnection with your body after birth.

Reduce inflammation and overhang from the scar.

Every scar is unique, and treatment is tailored to your individual needs.

What to expect

Your appointment begins with a discussion about your birth, recovery, and any symptoms or concerns you may have. After an assessment, gentle manual therapy techniques are used to work with the scar and surrounding tissues.

Treatment is always performed at your comfort level and in a calm, respectful environment. You’ll also receive practical advice and simple self-care techniques to help continue your progress at home.

Recovery after a caesarean is about more than healing the skin. My aim is to help you feel comfortable, supported, and confident as your body continues to recover. Every treatment is personalised, allowing you the time and space to ask questions, understand your scar, and receive care that is tailored to you.

If you’re ready to support your recovery or would like to find out whether Caesarean Scar Therapy is right for you, I’d be delighted to welcome you for a consultation.

Young babies are always welcome to treatments, please ask if you have any queries about attending the clinic.

Sarah is really lovely and made me feel relaxed, comfortable and well informed. Throughout the process she explained each aspect clearly and took great care to ensure I was comfortable. I’ve come away with some massage techniques and exercises to continue between sessions and have found these extremely helpful with my recovery. If you’re wondering whether to book a caesarean scar massage appointment - don’t hesitate!

After having multiple caesarean sections, I genuinely saw the benefits instantly. Allowing Sarah to work on my body, and to give me her knowledge and input into my recovery and healing was fascinating.
From beginning to end, she was very calming and knowledgeable. I felt safe and comfortable .
After the first session, I saw an instant change in my ability to breathe deeply and hold my core tighter. This has continued to improve.
The second session built on what we had already discussed and I had taken away some of the techniques to work on in between our two sessions together.
The homework that she sent was really easy and I could factor it into my day-to-day life, which is busy!
I will definitely continue to see Sarah as it has been hugely beneficial to me and we are really only just touching the surface,
I’m excited to see what else we can achieve together to aid my recovery and healing.
I would not hesitate to recommend Sarah.
I’m also delighted that there is someone in the area that is knowledgeable on this because they are so few and far between.
