After a C-section, many women experience discomfort such as itching, numbness, restricted 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.
Our Newbold-on-Stour clinic is baby-friendly, with easy pushchair access, private waiting facilities and a spacious treatment room, so your little one can be right there with you.

Frequently asked questions
When can I start scar therapy after my C-section?
Treatment can begin as soon as your scar is fully healed, typically around 6–8 weeks post-surgery. However, it's never too late to start. Even scars that are many years old can benefit from scar therapy. If you're unsure whether you're ready, just get in touch and we can chat.
Can I bring my baby to my appointment?
Absolutely. The Newbold-on-Stour clinic has easy pushchair access, private waiting facilities and a spacious treatment room with plenty of room for your little one. If your baby needs feeding or comforting during the session, that's perfectly fine.
Is it ever too late to start scar therapy?
No. It's never too late to start. Scars that are many years old can still benefit, with clients often noticing changes in tightness, numbness and how freely the area moves.
Is scar therapy painful?
No. The techniques are gentle and non-invasive, and are always adjusted to your comfort. Most clients find their sessions deeply soothing and relaxing.
