Recovering from major abdominal surgery and finding your core just isn’t working the way it used to?
Had a C-section and your tummy still feels numb, tight or uncomfortable?
Feeling weaker, more sensitive around your scar, or unsure how to safely rebuild your strength?
If this sounds like you, please know you’re not alone 💛 I’ve been seeing more and more people in clinic who feel like this part of their recovery has been overlooked.
I’ve treated scars from procedures like C-sections, hysterectomies, cancer surgery, transplants and other abdominal operations can sometimes leave people dealing with:
✨ Pain, tingling or numbness
✨ Tightness or pulling around the scar
✨ Difficulty activating the core
✨ Reduced strength and exercise tolerance
✨ A feeling that your body just doesn’t quite move the same anymore
Often the focus after surgery is simply on the wound healing, but your body deserves support beyond that too.
As a physiotherapist specialising in MSK, pelvic health and scar therapy, I can help with:
🤲 Improving scar comfort and mobility
🌿 Gentle desensitisation and massage techniques
💧 Supporting pain and function using the device
💪 Reconnecting with and retraining your core
🚶 Gradually rebuilding strength, confidence and exercise tolerance
My goal is to help you get back to the things that matter to you, whether that’s playing with your children, riding your horse, walking the dog, swimming, or returning to the gym.
Every person and every scar is different, so I always take a holistic, personalised approach to recovery.
