Scars can have a great impact on surrounding muscle and tissues, lymphatic flow can be impacted, and it can cause referred pain, such as lower back pain, common with caesarean section scars. When scar tissue is being laid down in the healing process, it can begin to adhere to fascia, tissue and other organs which can affect future pregnancies and births and restrictions in movement. Scar tissue massage can help to break these adhesions and restrictions down to improve blood circulation to the area, improving tissue health within and surrounding the scar.

Our massage is very beneficial for caesarean scars but can be done on any scar from surgery or injury that is causing irritation. Scar massage can be done in the months or years after surgery, it’s never too late to improve the quality and function of scar tissue.
