Scar Massage
Abdominal Scar soft tissue therapy
This is a bespoke solution for the post c-section Mum, whether you had your baby in recent months, or some years ago. The scar tissue that comes with a c-section needs a special level of care to reduce and prevent adhesions, which for some mums can be the cause of pain, discomfort and tightness. And which can also have a knock on effect on other areas of the body (which may often seem unrelated) as well as on your core and pelvic floor function.
We’ll take our time to help you relax whilst soothing any aches, pains, restrictions, numbness, appearance or stiffness you’re experiencing.
Prior to our session I will deeply screen you, followed by a thorough check in upon arrival. At this point we’ll figure out what needs the most attention, sometimes working far away from your scar… sometimes very close or even on the scar. These specially acquired techniques help the body as a whole, not just at the location of your scar and often lead to the whole body feeling wonderful.
It is advised you invest in at least 3 treatments to benefit fully. I’d recommend putting your appointments every 3 weeks or if your scar has healed well perhaps a check in at 3 months later and then again 6 months later. A 10% discount is added if 3 are purchased together.
The prices include all the thorough pre screening, postural assessments, a lovely bespoke massage and any aftercare deemed useful to your overall wellness. Please note sessions expire after 90 days (including packages unless previously agreed). Please note I work to a strict 24 hour cancellation policy.
Within the c-section massage we will:
- work on and around the scar and in other related areas, which will help to free up both the scar and the whole abdominal area
- work on other areas of discomfort, e.g. the hips and lower back
- restore optimal breathing and movement patterns
- reconnect you to your core and pelvic floor
- I may use some specially designed massage tools to help release the tissues
- The massage will always be very gentle

Testimonials
‘The issue hasn’t reoccured since coming to see you. I’m convinced it was the massage. In fact it hasn’t hurt since.’
‘The massage was amazing, I slept so well last night.’
‘I am feeling amazing after all the work you did on my ribs and core. I literally feel like I have more room inside me.’
‘Nikki was very warm and nurturing. It was led on such an individual level which was great!”
‘I did sleep well and my shoulders are so much better. Felt so much lighter all weekend.’
I came to Nikki for a scar massage and I’m so glad I did. She’s extremely knowledgeable and ensured I understood what she was doing, why and how to continue treating myself at home. Immediately after the session I noticed a difference. Definitely recommend to any women with post surgery scars.
