Support Your Recovery With Expert-Led Scar Therapy

Gentle, restorative treatment to help your body heal well after a caesarean birth

You’ve been through a major surgery and your body deserves the chance to recover fully, not just on the surface, but deep within.

Scar tissue is your body’s way of protecting and healing after a wound. But without proper support, it can create tightness, discomfort, and even internal restriction, long after the surface looks healed.

Our Scar Therapy sessions help soften scar tissue, reduce adhesions, and restore comfort and mobility to your body. Whether your caesarean birth was recent or many years ago, it’s never too late to support your healing.

What is scar therapy?

Scar Therapy gently remodels scar tissue, improving both function and comfort. You may notice:

Softer, more mobile tissue around your scar
Better posture, flexibility, and ease of movement
Fewer sensations of pulling, tightness, or numbness
Improved lymphatic flow and reduced bloating above the scar
A secondary benefit may include changes in appearance

We assess how your scar is impacting your whole body, not just the site itself, but surrounding tissues, breathing patterns, fascia, and pelvic floor function too.

Why does scar tissue need support?

A caesarean scar may seem small, but it affects layers of skin, muscle, fascia, and nerves. Without support, you may experience:

Internal pulling or tightness
Pelvic floor issues
Loss of sensation or numbness
Reduced diaphragmatic breathing
Abdominal swelling above the scar
Restrictions that affect the whole body, not just your tummy

Scar therapy can restore balance and mobility, helping your body work better as a whole.

When can I start?

There’s a window of opportunity to support healing more easily, but therapy can be beneficial at any stage.

Best time to start:

From 8 weeks to 6 months post-birth, while collagen is still forming
First 16 weeks are ideal for influencing scar tissue early

Still helpful later on:

Between 6–9 months, we can reactivate the scar and prevent long-term restriction
Even mature scars (years old) can improve with treatment! we take a holistic view to support surrounding tissues and fascia

What should I expect?

One-to-one, gentle hands-on therapy from a trained midwife
Focused work on your scar, surrounding tissues, and any related discomfort
Personalised assessment. No two scars or bodies are the same!
A safe space to ask questions, reconnect with your body, and feel cared for

This is not just about your scar, it’s about your comfort, confidence, and long-term well-being.

Scar Therapy Session Information

Expert assessment, personalised treatment, and practical aftercare, tailored just for you

Scar Therapy is more than just massage, it’s a specialised, midwife-led treatment designed to help your body heal safely and fully after a caesarean birth.

Our trained practitioners have completed advanced training with Restore Scar Therapy, ensuring you receive safe, effective care based on the latest research in scar tissue management.

What’s included in your assessment

Every session begins with a thorough consultation so we can understand exactly how your scar is affecting you. We’ll assess:

Mobility around the scar – including upper and lower body
Diaphragm expansion – to support optimal breathing and core function
Muscles and joints – checking for tension and imbalance
Abdominal separation (Diastasis Recti) – identifying any gap or weakness
Scar tissue – its texture, mobility, and sensitivity
Skin condition – including hydration, texture, and appearance

This full-body view helps us create the best treatment plan for your needs, and set clear, measurable goals to track your progress.

What happens during the treatment?

Your scar will be gently palpated to guide targeted massage techniques
Treatment focuses on improving flexibility, reducing restriction, and restoring comfort
You’ll be shown how to continue some simple techniques at home
We can also recommend tailored products to support your individual healing

This is a collaborative, supportive process, your comfort and consent are always at the centre.
