Scar Tissue Mobilisation
HEALING YOUR SCAR TISSUE THROUGH SPECIALIST MASSAGE TECHNIQUES
Scar tissue mobilisation is a massage technique which can be used to significantly improve the healing potential of scarring after a C-Section (or any surgery). The technique works by breaking down the scar tissue and encouraging the collagen fibres to re-align into a better position, allowing the tissues to function more normally.
The massage works by addressing the superficial skin (most upper layer), the muscle tissue (where we may find trigger points and some adhesions) and lastly, the deep layer (where the organs are, in a c-section for example, this could be where the bladder, uterus and intestines can be heavily impacted by scar tissue adhesions.
SCAR TISSUE PROBLEMS WE CAN TREAT
BLADDER DYSFUNCTION due to adhesions from the scar onto the bladder.
LOW BACK PAIN a very common issue, due to adhesion of the fascia.
BOWEL DYSFUNCTION due to adhesions from the scar onto the bowel walls.
PAINFUL INTERCOURSE or any penetration of the vagina.
SEVERE PELVIC PAIN due to decreased organ mobility.
The benefits of treatment
This information is mostly gravitating towards a c-section scar, however, can be applied to many other surgeries and scar types. Please contact as with any inquires!
Treatment can break up adhesions with the aim of preventing layers from sticking together OR unsticking adhered layers if it has been some time since surgery. The treatment will also allow the tissue fibers to align in a more organized fashion so they are stronger!
Improved appearance of the c-section scar
Reduced sensitivity of the area and empowering you to “touch” yourself
Increased range of motion and movement freedom
Enhanced labido due to reduced pelvic pain
F.A.Q
When should I book an appointment?
When your scar is no longer open and the stitches have been removed. Usually around 6-8 weeks post-surgery.
Does my scar need to be fresh for a mobilisation?
No! Although, the sooner the better. Mobilisation can still have positive therapeutic affects on even the older scar tissues.
Can I do this by myself?
Absolutely! We advocate as much self management as possible! Lynn Schulte has a great video on self mobilisation here.
