SCAR & VISCERAL MASSAGE

Visceral massage

The body’s connective tissue namely fascia responds to load tension and injury throughout the body, and travels in a non linear fashion, is innervated and responsive to the nervous system.

Any surgery such as a C section, abdominoplasty or mastectomy  will disrupt  fascia and can cause a pull or a restriction elsewhere in the body. It is of huge benefit to assess after surgery post 6 weeks of initial healing and to lengthen and restore flexibility with Visceral massage following surgeries of any sort, particularly abdominal surgery.

Scar massage 

Scarring of tissues post surgery is a normal process with  healing tissues  that were cut. However the fibrin and collagen that is laid down with scarring requires touch to soften and make pliable post surgery.

I can advise on management and techniques to improve abdominal scars.

I use and teach Scar massage and other adjunctive skills such as acupuncture to reduce scarring that can cause discomfort or change the appearance of the abdomen following surgery.
