Our C-Section Scar and Abdominal Release appointments are designed to support women recovering from caesarean birth, abdominal surgery, and gynaecological procedures. This gentle, hands on treatment focuses on improving tissue mobility, reducing scar related restrictions, and helping you reconnect with your body after surgery.

During a C-Section Scar and Abdominal Release appointment, we assess the scar itself, as well as the surrounding abdominal wall, diaphragm, ribs, fascia, and deep core muscles. Restrictions within these tissues can sometimes contribute to ongoing symptoms such as pulling sensations, pain, numbness, tingling, reduced core connection, difficulty taking a deep breath, feelings of tightness, or a persistent "shelf" around the scar.

Many women are surprised to learn that scar tissue can affect the body long after the initial healing process has finished. Through C-Section Scar and Abdominal Release treatment, we aim to reduce adhesions, improve movement between tissues, support nervous system regulation, and restore confidence in movement and function.

This service may be beneficial if you have experienced a caesarean birth, hysterectomy, laparoscopic surgery, endometriosis surgery, abdominal surgery, or any procedure that has resulted in abdominal scarring. Whether your scar is recent or many years old, C-Section Scar and Abdominal Release treatment can help improve comfort, mobility, body awareness, and overall recovery.

You may benefit from a C-Section Scar and Abdominal Release appointment if you experience:

  • Pulling, tightness, or discomfort around your scar

  • Numbness, tingling, or altered sensation

  • Difficulty connecting with your abdominal muscles or deep core

  • A feeling of restriction through your abdomen or rib cage

  • Concerns about the appearance of a scar "shelf"

  • Ongoing symptoms following abdominal or gynaecological surgery

Our goal with C-Section Scar and Abdominal Release treatment is to help you feel more comfortable, connected, and confident in your body, no matter how long ago your surgery occurred.
