When we think about C-section recovery, we often focus on the scar itself. But the truth is, that little line is just one piece of the puzzle. Many mums experience things like hip pain, restricted breathing, diastasis recti, fluid retention, and even bowel and bladder issues—all of which can contribute to “the overhang” (yes, that stubborn pouch that won’t budge no matter how much core work you do!).

That’s where Scar Therapy comes in. Unlike a traditional massage, the touch is incredibly light—almost like a gentle feather stroke. It’s completely pain-free but works wonders. By helping the scar tissue blend seamlessly with the surrounding area, it improves hydration, reduces tightness, smooths out lumps and dips, and encourages better movement. Essentially, it helps your body feel more like your body again. Key points what Scar Therapy does are:

•Mechanotransduction- is how cells turn physical forces into healing and growth signals, like muscles strengthening with exercise or scars improving with massage.

•Influencing cellular structures

•Enhancing / modelling / changing / releasing

•Nerve regeneration

•Vaso dilation – heat

•Endorphin release

•Stimulating Mechanoreceptors – somatosensory receptors

•End goal? – less pain / desensitise the area / change the appearance / relax the tissues

•Psychological impact

If your C-section scar still feels tight, numb, or uncomfortable—whether it's months or even years later—you don’t have to just live with it. Scar therapy can help bring back mobility, comfort, and confidence in your body. ❤️
