Specialist Scar Therapy & Massage Services

Abdominal Scar Therapy

Scar therapy helps to improve not only the appearance of your scar but also reduce any pain and tightness that can develop as the scar is healing. Scar massage reduces any scar tissue build-up and helps make for a healthier scar.

Whether your scar is from a C-section, hysterectomy, or other abdominal surgery, this gentle treatment helps you reconnect with your body and feel more comfortable. Scars often hold a lot of emotion and are more than just physical marks — this is a safe space to process and heal.

C-Section Recovery Support

After a C-section, many women experience discomfort such as itching, numbness, restrictive movement and a pulling sensation around the scar area. C-section scar therapy is a specialised hands-on treatment combining gentle scar techniques on and around the scar.

Treatment can begin as soon as your scar is fully healed — typically around 6–8 weeks post-surgery, though it's never too late to start. Even scars that are many years old can benefit from therapy.

What to expect:

• Gentle scar massage techniques on and around the scar
• Assessment of scar tissue mobility and sensitivity
• Guidance on self-care and home massage techniques
• A safe, supportive environment with room for your baby

Hysterectomy Scar Therapy

Recovering from a hysterectomy is a significant journey, both physically and emotionally. Scar therapy can play an important role in your recovery, helping to reduce tightness, improve tissue mobility, and ease discomfort around the surgical site.

Using the same gentle, specialist techniques as our abdominal scar therapy, this treatment is adapted specifically for post-hysterectomy recovery. Whether your surgery was recent or years ago, scar therapy can help.

Mastectomy Scar Therapy

Your body can change in many ways after breast surgery, and the physical effects can sometimes continue long after the initial healing has taken place. Scar tissue may feel tight, tender, numb or restrictive, and some clients notice pulling or discomfort across the chest, breast or underarm area.

Mastectomy scar therapy is a gentle, specialist treatment designed to support the tissues around your surgical scars, helping to improve scar mobility, reduce feelings of tightness and help you feel more comfortable and connected with your body.

Every scar and every recovery is different, so your treatment is adapted to you and how your body feels on the day. We work gently and respectfully around the chest, breast and underarm area, always taking your comfort and boundaries into consideration.

Whether your surgery was recent or several years ago, it is never too late to give your scars some attention and care.

What to expect:

• A gentle assessment of your scar tissue and surrounding areas
• Specialist scar techniques adapted to your surgery and comfort
• Gentle work around the chest, breast and underarm area where appropriate
• Guidance on simple self-care and scar massage techniques
• A calm, supportive and completely non-judgemental space

Oncology Scar Therapy

Cancer treatment can leave its mark on the body in ways that aren't always visible. Surgery, radiotherapy and other treatments can affect the skin and underlying tissues, sometimes leaving areas feeling tight, sensitive, numb or restricted.

Oncology scar therapy is a gentle, individualised treatment focused on supporting your body following cancer treatment. Using specialist scar and soft-tissue techniques, we work carefully around healed surgical scars and surrounding tissues to help improve mobility and ease feelings of tightness or restriction.

Your treatment is tailored to your individual history, the type of surgery you have had and how your body feels. We take a gentle, considered approach, allowing you to remain in control throughout your treatment.

This isn't about changing what your body has been through. It's about giving you time and space to reconnect with your body and care for the areas that may have been through a lot.

What to expect:

• HLP Therapy trained practitioner with specialist oncology scar qualifications
• A gentle consultation and assessment before treatment
• Treatment adapted to your individual surgery and recovery
• Gentle scar and tissue techniques around fully healed areas
• Advice on appropriate self-care between treatments
• A private, supportive and compassionate environment where there is no pressure to talk or explain

Pregnancy puts incredible demands on your body. This treatment is a safe, nurturing way to support your wellbeing and give yourself some much-needed care during this special time.
