If you’ve had a long-incision surgery like a tummy tuck, knee surgery, back surgery, brachioplasty etc, scar work doesn’t start years later, it starts once the incision is fully healed and cleared by your surgeon.
4–8 weeks post-op, depending on:
• How well the incision has closed
• Absence of scabs, drainage, or infection
• Your surgeon’s approval
Once the skin is healed, early intervention matters.
💡 How Myofascial Release helps scars
Surgery creates adhesions where fascia, skin, and underlying tissues stick together. This can lead to:
• Raised or thick scars
• Tightness and pulling sensations
• Restricted movement
• Numbness or sensitivity
Myofascial release uses slow, intentional pressure to:
✔️ Gently break down adhesions
✔️ Improve circulation & hydration to the tissue
✔️ Encourage collagen to lay down more evenly
✔️ Help scars become flatter, softer, and more mobile
✔️ Restore normal movement and comfort
Why scar work isn’t just cosmetic?
A scar that isn’t addressed can affect posture, mobility, and even cause pain in areas far from the incision. Treating the fascia helps the body move and heal as a whole.
🔑 Consistency is key 🔑
Scar remodeling can take months, and regular sessions combined with at-home care make a big difference.
If you’ve had surgery and feel tight, restricted, or want to support optimal healing — scar therapy can be a powerful part of your recovery. DM to determine if Myofascial release is right for you at this moment.
