C-Section Scar Therapy
Offering Gentle Support For Your Recovery after a C-Section
If you’ve had a caesarean (C-section), you may notice that your scar feels uncomfortable. You may experience tightness, pulling, a lack of sensation or pain. This can lead to pain or discomfort in other areas of the body such as the back, chest or pelvic floor. The scar might be red or raised. You may find you now have an ‘overhang’ where your tummy used to be much flatter.
Louise is fully trained with the UK leading scar specialist, Hannah Poulton at HLP Therapy in Leicester. She offers both manual therapy and also uses the clinical grade Lymphatouch negative pressure device. This will both help your scar feel more comfortable and also improve the appearance of the scar and also help to flatten the overhang.
Having a C-section can take a huge toll on your body both physically and emotionally. For some women, a C-section scar can affect parts of life which once felt ‘normal’ such as, exercising, moving with confidence, feeling comfortable in your own body, intimacy with your partner and wearing the clothes you want to wear.
Scar massage after C-section isn’t about ‘fixing’ your body, it’s about supporting your healing and helping your scar feel more comfortable over time.
