C Section Massage
It’s really important for C-section recovery to massage the scar and the surrounding areas. Many women report feeling restriction, discomfort and a general feeling of tightness potentially around the scar or even further away in the body. This makes sense as whenever you have any type of operation, scarring to the body or any cut to the tissue, the fascia is altered. Massaging the scar is hugely beneficial and it’s nothing to be scared of.
Simply taking your hand, warming it up and just placing on top of the scar (providing the cut itself has healed and isn’t infected, red or sore), will help you to get used to the feel of your scar. Use an oil you love, unperfumed is best, simply begin to gently massage around the scar itself. Go gently at first, until you become more confident. You are looking for any lumps, bumps, tension, or tightness. It’s never too late to start massaging your scar!
