Some really great info about the importance of manual therapy after abdominal surgery (we see you c-section moms).

I’ve been preaching about this for years. So many issues can be linked to abdominal scar tissue and adhesions.

We’ve got you covered 👏🏻

🧠 New Evidence on Manual Therapy for Post-Surgical Adhesion Symptoms
📌 What’s it about?
A recent systematic review in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies examined the impact of manual therapy on symptoms related to adhesions after abdominal surgery, a clinical issue we frequently encounter in postoperative rehabilitation.

🧪 Key Takeaways for PTs:
✅ Abdominal adhesions are common, with up to 90% of patients developing adhesions within 12 to 24 months after surgery. Traditional management often involves surgical adhesiolysis, which carries risks and potential for recurrence.
✅ Manual therapy shows promise as a non-invasive adjunct for managing adhesion-related symptoms, including pain reduction, improved function, and relief of gastrointestinal or musculoskeletal complaints.
✅ This review screened 773 studies and focused on outcomes from nine relevant articles comparing manual therapy techniques such as soft tissue mobilization and visceral mobilization for adhesion-related issues.
✅ Evidence supports potential benefits across acute and chronic adhesion presentations, though study quality and sample sizes are limited.

👩‍⚕️ Clinical Implications:
➡️ Manual techniques, including soft tissue and visceral mobilization, may complement conventional care for patients struggling with adhesion-related symptoms after abdominal surgery.
➡️ These approaches could help improve patient comfort and mobility when integrated into a broader rehabilitation plan, especially in the context of post-operative scar and visceral mobility work.
➡️ Further high-quality research is still needed, but this review supports evidence-informed use of manual therapy in specific clinical scenarios.

💭 Takeaway for PT Practice:
Manual therapy is emerging as a viable adjunct in addressing symptoms linked to abdominal adhesions, offering a non-surgical option that aligns with holistic, movement-focused rehabilitation goals.
