💬 When clients come to me for scar therapy, they often say no one gave them any advice on how to care for their scar. You’re not alone if you feel unsure. Scar therapy bridges that gap, offering support, relief, and often a sense of being heard.

Scar massage can help soften tight tissue, improve mobility, and support emotional healing.

✨Here’s a few tips on how to start safely at home

💖Wait until its ready
Only massage your scar once its fully healed. Make sure all the scabs have gone, there are no signs of oozing, weeping, or infection. This varies from each person but usually around 6-8 weeks. If you are unsure, ask a professional first.

💖Keep it simple
Use clean hands and small amount of lotion or oil.
If you don’t feel comfortable touching your scar, you can work over clothing. Start above or below, moving towards the scar. Gently move the skin in small circles, side to side, up and down to soften and stretch the scar and underlying tissues.

💖Be consistent, not forceful
Spend around 3-5 minutes, ideally twice daily. Scar tissue responds best to regular, gentle massage.

💖Keep an eye out for changes
It is normal to feel tenderness or mild sensitivity. Do not cause pain or increase inflammation by massaging too hard on your new scar, because this could actually increase scar tissue production.

💖Many scars have reduced sensation
It is very important to keep checking your scar for changes during massage to make sure there is no tissue breakdown. Just because you might not be able to feel what you are doing, does not mean that the scar is not changing.

I’ve just completed 30 hours of advanced theory training with Restore Scar Therapy deepening my understanding of scar tissue, adhesions, and how to support recovery through manual therapy and movement.

Every scar tells a story and I’m committed to making sure each client gets the most informed, supportive care possible. 💛

Your body gives you plenty of warnings before it starts to shout.

A tight shoulder, a niggling ache, a scar that still feels “off” — these are gentle signals asking for your attention.

If you ignore them, they don’t just go away. They get louder. Until one day, your body has no choice but to shout.

You don’t have to wait for that moment.

What a month it’s been for Caesarean Awareness!

To wrap it up, I’m sharing this beautiful example of a progressing C-section scar. The visual changes are clear, but what’s even more powerful is the shift in comfort, confidence, and mobility that often comes with scar therapy.

Scar therapy gentle, non-invasive, and completely tailored to you.

And while we’ve focused on C-sections this month, please know: all scars are welcome.
Surgical scars, injury scars, burns, accident-related scars, each one is unique and deserves care.

If a scar is affecting your body or your confidence, you don’t have to just live with it.
Get in contact to see how scar therapy can help.

I absolutely love what I do and when you get a review like this it’s amazing 🥰

There’s nothing better than seeing someone leave feeling lighter, more mobile, and full of life again!

This wonderful client came to me with back pain and after just four sessions, we’ve helped them feel back to normal, their words, not mine!

Massage and soft tissue therapy aren’t just luxuries, they’re a powerful part of healing and self-care. Your body is yours for life, and it deserves to feel good.

Using products is a great way to support your recovery from surgery.

Scar creams, silicone gels, and sheets can help soften the scar, relieve pain, reduce tightness, improve loss of sensation and support healing.

Combine with gentle massage and scar therapy for even better results.

The earlier you can start with caring for your care the better the outcome but any age scar can benefit from scar therapy.

If you would like more information on how I can support your healing then please get in contact.
