C-Section Recovery

A c-section is a major abdominal surgery and can impact a woman’s health both physically and mentally. You may experience pain, discomfort or numbness around the site of the scar and these problems may begin immediately after surgery, but sometimes they are more insidious and occur weeks, months, or even years after surgery. Furthermore, the formation of scar tissue can lead to restrictions that affect your movement, posture, and overall function.

What is Scar Therapy

Scar Therapy is a method of non-invasive physical therapy developed to treat scar tissue, fibrosis and adhesions, utilising specialist scar massage and fascial release, therapy tools and self-care advice to promote healthy recovery.
