Manual Therapy for C-Section Scars

A C-section is a life-changing experience, but the resulting scar can leave lasting physical and emotional effects. Restricted movement, pain, tightness, and even emotional tension can linger long after surgery. At Femina Integrated Health, we offer manual therapy tailored for C-section scars, helping women restore mobility, reduce discomfort, and reconnect with their bodies.

How C-Section Scars Impact Your Health

C-section scars can form deep adhesions that restrict movement between layers of tissue, leading to pain and stiffness. According to research, 41% of women experience excessive scarring or adhesions following C-sections, which can cause symptoms such as:

• Tightness in the lower abdomen

• Reduced flexibility and range of motion

• Chronic pain at the scar site or surrounding tissue

• Nerve pain and sensitivity

• Emotional discomfort related to the scar​

  
  

If untreated, these scars can also compress nerves, disrupting signals between the brain and body, leading to discomfort that can affect daily activities.

How Manual Therapy Can Help C-Section Scars Heal

At Femina Integrated Health, we use manual therapy techniques designed to gently release scar tissue and restore the body’s natural movement. Our hands-on approach works to:

• Reduce stiffness

• Alleviate pain

• Improve flexibility

• Boost circulation to the scar area

  
  

Research shows that manual therapy can increase elasticity, reduce scar tightness, and improve pressure pain thresholds, helping women feel more comfortable and confident in their bodies​.
