I look forward to the day when all moms whoâve had a C-section are given the information to do scar massage as part of their regular rehab. Scars in their very nature are more dense, thick and less stretchy than other tissue, which can get stuck and tacked down..
If youâre postpartum, and youâre trying to heal your abdominal separation AKA Diastasis Recti , having the lower part of your abdomen, be stuck and tacked down, can absolutely prevent you from fully healing.
I recommend C-section moms Continue to do scar massage their entire first year of postpartum. Itâs never too late to start. If youâre more than a year postpartum, you can absolutely positively affect and change your scar. It just might take a little bit more strategy and deeper massage..
This is one of many holistic ways to treat diastasis recti. Healing your body postpartum takes more than just spot treating. look at your whole both above and below your abdomen to see how that separation is being affected.
