Total hip replacement scar - one year post op
My scar massage isn’t just for c sections and hysterectomy. The techniques can be applied to any scar. It’s not just the surface of the scar and how that heals. It’s the inside of it too. Scar tissue is taught and sticker (which we need as its binding the tissues that have been cut)
But for some, the scar can cause restricted movement, potentially for hip replacements this can effect walking afterwards.
I’ve recently worked with an 88year gentleman, for scar work. We spoken about working on all the tissue around the scar and how these adhesions may be his issue. And we can report since just one session, walking is improving. Which was the main issues as he was so used to walking a lot before.
If you’re ever in doubt, scar work can be done anytime (6/8weeks post op) even if it’s years later. It will always work to improve the mobility of the scar.
NB: image isn’t my client but an example of a hip replacement scar.
