C-section

If you notice a change in sensation, tissue puffiness, swelling, or tension over your c-section scar, then scar massage will be beneficial. Massage helps to reduce inflammation by improving circulation to the area,  and reducing stiffness of the scar and surrounding tissue.

​

During our session, I can offer scar massage and links to support you with continued massage at home.  Scar massage can also to help improve connection to the deeper abdominal muscles, so that engagement of higher level exercise feels more achievable.

Perineal

Following an episiotomy or perineal tear, it is common to experience increased sensitivity over the site of the scar,  and tension into the connective tissue and pelvic floor. This can be resolved with scar massage, internal stretches and breathing techniques.

Peroneal massage will be given if indicated at the initial consultation and taught in the clinic so that you’re not dependent on coming to physio.
