After Caesarean-Section
After a C-Section delivery there will be a large number of adhesions formed as a natural response of the body to the local trauma. These microscopic collagen strands will remain for life as a by-product of the surgery. Massage can help the body's natural healing by improving the lymphatic drainage soon after surgery. After the wound has healed into a scar, precise massage techniques in this area will then help to break down these over produced adhesions, release soft tissue fascia, help to improve the condition of the skin and remove scar tissue in this delicate area. This can all help to regain sensitivity, control and freedom of movement. We will discuss this technique fully should you wish to know more and incorporate into your treatment.
