What questions do you have about C-section scar massage?

@MonarchDogSledRidesSalida Год назад

When you say massage above the scar, Is that above the lump that runs above the length of the scar, or right on that hard lump part? I’m 2.5 weeks postpartum.

@MsFcuk101 Год назад

Why do I still feel a little pain on scar area when I press above the scar area after 3.5 years?

@emilybochman4652 Год назад

How do you even begin to roll scars that are atrophic? Can’t even get a grip on them to be able to do that

@megangarrett2455 Год назад

@@MsFcuk101 my oldest kids are 9/11 I never had numbness with those c sections. My last child Is 15 months and my scar has been numb. I'm hoping these massages will help.

Does this technique work if you actually HAVE a C-section scar?

@ImaginIllyar 8 месяцев назад

I am a 60 year old woman who just found out that my c-section scar is adhesed to my bladder and I'm having a lot of problems with urgency when peeing and not being able to fill my bladder. Listen to this woman! No one told me anything about this when I had my c-section 34 years ago. My physiotherapist tells me that there is still hope for me with massage. I really hope she is right but I wish I had known about this at the time.

@jennyminard4257 4 месяца назад

Oh my word, I think I have the same issue! I have urgency all the time and can’t fully empty or maybe fill my bladder. It’s awful!!

@julietpalomaglass2281 2 месяца назад

I had an ostomy takedown and it feels like I’m fully emptying my bladder also. I’m guessing the fascia has been constricted from the surgery.

@shonnasmiles6156 Год назад

I want to thank you for making this. Immediately when I began this massage I felt an odd tingly sensation and started sobbing. But as I continued I felt more and more comfortable with this area being touched. I didn't have a c section I had a myomectomy to remove tumors. It was just the same type of procedure. I feel better already and will do this daily. Again thank you so much

@rynnhoward8612 5 месяцев назад

@user-mh2tf1pk8n Год назад

Hi @Jena Bradley - so I am so keen to get these done daily until I have reached maximum potential, how long should you dedicate each day to do this, so you're seeing a benefit? I am having a c section in August and I am very anxious about getting the "shelf" so I want to make sure I am doing everything I can to avoid it :)

Hello 🤗 do you advice using a belly band over the swelling? Im 2 weeks pp, and above my c section scar I have a lot of swelling as well its kinda lumpy and hard, as well is painful to the touch. Should I wait a bit longer and when to start massaging🙏🏽? I would appreciate your answer!

@wineinmysparetime1919 5 месяцев назад

After my c-section a few years ago. I had a small area of my incision that was harder or thicker and my dermatologist administered an injection I believe it was a corticosteroid and It flattened completely. I also heard that some have cryotherapy. Get with a dermatologist who specializes in different skin issues to discuss your treatment options.

Hi dear...is this massage helpful from getting rid keloids completely... actually after 6 month of c section i develop keloids on stituches scar which was very itchy...so Dr recommended for injection...i took one dose ...it not completely gone just shrink ..no 2nd dose required as per Dr prescription.

@LiveCoreStrong Год назад

Scar massage will not get rid of keloids but it can help with the skin sensitivity and any other issues you may be having with sensation.

@susanaeshun2992 Год назад

I had my c-section 8 weeks ago. I just removed the surgical tape from it a few days ago which makes my scar appear fresh. I feel on and around my incision a lot of sensitivity, numbness and soreness. I also have feel a very hard, wide lump above my incision. When can I safely start doing the scar tissue mobilization?

@LiveCoreStrong Год назад

I would start now, but do not touch the scar itself until it looks fully healed. Work on the outside of your scar first. Also, consult with you doctor before starting just to get his/her approval.

Great question! You can still do these 2 years postpartum. No matter how far along you are postpartum, you want to do these scar massages because you can have negative side effects years down the road (from build up of scar tissue).
