✨ WHAT IS YOUR SCAR TELLING YOU? ✨
(For anyone who has had a C-section, tummy tuck, endometriosis surgery, removal of cysts, fibroids, appendectomy, or any abdominal procedure)
---
Every abdominal incision - whether from a C-section, endometriosis surgery, bowel surgery, cyst removal, or a tummy tuck - changes the way your body works from the inside out.
What we see on the skin is just a thin line.
What we don’t see are the adhesions forming underneath — those fibrous bands that can connect layers of fascia, peritoneum, and nearby organs.
They are “sticky” structures that bind tissues which are meant to glide freely.
📌 What happens inside the body after surgery?
• The body creates a scar to close the wound.
• If healing is excessive or irregular, adhesions start to form.
• These adhesions pull on surrounding tissues, limiting fascial movement and changing the body’s mechanical balance.

💥 Possible long-term effects (months or even years later):
➡️ Pelvis pulled forward → posture changes + tension in lumbar and abdominal muscles.
➡️ Lower back pain, hip discomfort, sacroiliac joint issues.
➡️ Digestive problems due to reduced mobility of the intestines.
➡️ Restricted breathing, because fascial tension limits diaphragm movement.
➡️ After endometriosis surgery: additional adhesions may explain ongoing pelvic pain.
➡️ After a tummy tuck: tightened superficial fascia can change posture, core stability, and breathing mechanics.
➡️ Emotional effects – the body stores the sensory and emotional memory of the surgical experience.

🌿 Why is proper post-surgery care so important?
Because a scar is not just a cosmetic detail.
It’s a piece of information your entire body reads — every single day.
Gentle scar mobilization, fascial work, manual therapy, and guided movement help restore glide, ease tension, and bring balance back to your system.
Your body wants to move freely and without pain.
Support it on that journey. 🤍
