To every mama who’s healing from a c-section while caring for a newborn, this one’s for you 🤍
C-section scar massage comes up with almost every caesarean mum we see. As your scar heals, the layers underneath can get tight and stuck together. Gentle massage helps everything move more freely again and can settle down sensitivity too.
A few things to know before you start:
〰 Wait until around 6 weeks, once your scar is fully closed (check with your GP or LMC first if you’ve had an infection).
〰 5 to 10 minutes with some oil before bed is all you need.
📌Save this for your 6 week mark, and send it to a friend who’s in the newborn trenches right now.
If it’s still feeling tight, numb or just not quite right, book in with one of our physios.
