HOW MASSAGE HELPS DURING PREGNANCY

Pregnancy massage therapy can be extremely beneficial to both mother and the unborn baby. As the mothers body develops during pregnancy, joints ligaments and internal organs may be placed under pressure often leading to discomfort and pain.

 

Receiving regular massages during the pregnancy stage can result in an easier and shorter birth, reduced pain and has a reduced rate of postnatal complications, along with an increased success of breastfeeding due to the increase of prolactin.

C-SECTION SCAR THERAPY

Qualifications-

Scarwork Therapist Certification

Treatment Safety & Eligibility

Your wellbeing is always our priority

C‑section scar therapy may begin from six weeks post‑surgery, and only once you have been formally signed off by your surgeon. This ensures that your incision has healed sufficiently and that treatment can take place safely and comfortably.

Scars cannot be treated if they are:

  • Open

  • Painful

  • Inflamed

  • Infected

  • Weeping fluid

If any of these apply, we recommend allowing further healing time and seeking guidance from a healthcare professional before booking treatment.

We are here to support you throughout your recovery. If you would like further information, personalised aftercare advice or to book an appointment, please feel welcome to get in touch with the clinic.

C-SECTION SCARS

C‑Section Scar Therapy

Specialist treatment to support healing, mobility and long‑term comfort

C‑section scar therapy is a precise, hands‑on clinical approach designed to work with scar tissue, fibroids and adhesions within the body. Each treatment is tailored to your individual scar and recovery needs, recognising that every postnatal journey is unique.
 

Supporting Scar Maturation

Scars can take up to two years to fully mature. Engaging with your scar during the early stages of healing can be highly beneficial, helping to support mobility, comfort and healthy tissue formation. At the same time, it is never too late to work with a scar — even decades after surgery, targeted manual therapy may still help improve movement, ease restrictions and support more normal sensation.
 

How Treatment Can Help

Specialist techniques can help soften and release the tissue surrounding and beneath the scar, encouraging improved mobility between the muscles, skin layers and fascia. Over time, scars may become numb, painful or overly sensitive; clinical therapy can help reduce discomfort and support healthier sensory responses.
 

Postnatal Massage & Whole‑Body Support

In most cases, postnatal massage is also advisable. Pregnancy and birth can create muscular tension, postural changes and fascial pull that affect comfort throughout the body. Massage can help ease aches and pains, support postural realignment and address secondary restrictions. Where appropriate, diastasis recti can also be checked during your appointment.

When Scar Therapy May Be Beneficial

Scar therapy may help if your scar feels:

  • Raised (keloid or hypertrophic)

  • Rope‑like

  • Stringy or grainy

  • Painful

  • Numb

  • Tight or stuck

  • Newly formed

  • Long‑standing

Our aim is to support your comfort, mobility and confidence as your body continues to heal and adjust.
