Scar Tissue Recovery
Dedicated, non-invasive guidance to help improve tissue mobility and comfort following surgeries.
If you are experiencing tightness, sensitivity, or a pulling sensation around a scar, support is available. We offer gentle mobilisation strategies to help soften tissue and restore confidence in your movement.
What is Scar Tissue Recovery?
Scar tissue therapy applies to a wide range of healing needs, including C-sections, abdominal surgeries, laparoscopy scars, and breast surgery scars. When the body heals from these procedures, collagen fibres can create adhesions that restrict movement or cause sensitivity.
The focus here is on improving the glide and flexibility of the tissue. Support is provided through non-invasive guidance on massage techniques, desensitisation, and gentle movement. The goal is to help the scar integrate better with the surrounding body, reducing feelings of numbness, pulling, or discomfort during daily life.
Common signs of Scar Tissue Issues
Pulling sensations
Feeling a drag or tightness in the skin or deeper tissues when stretching, reaching, or standing tall.
Touch sensitivity
Discomfort or a heightened sensation when clothing rubs against the area or when the scar is touched.
Tissue restriction
A feeling that the skin or underlying muscle is 'stuck' or does not move freely with the rest of the body.
Numbness
A lack of sensation or a 'pins and needles' feeling around the incision site.

Is it too late to work on an old scar?
No, tissue can respond to mobilisation and movement strategies years after the original surgery or injury. It is never too late to improve comfort.
Will this hurt?
You may feel some discomfort during treatment, but it should not be painful. Your comfort guides the session, and the intensity is always adjusted to suit you.
Do I need to touch the scar myself?
We guide you at your own pace. Many women feel apprehensive about touching their scars, so we build confidence gradually with techniques that feel safe for you.
Do I need to undress completely?
No, we prioritise your comfort. We only need access to the specific area we are working on, and we can often work through light clothing or with discreet draping.
Can this help with the 'shelf' look?
Improving the mobility of the tissue and how the core muscles engage can often improve the appearance and integration of the area.
