Starting Scar Massage

A gentle, step-by-step scar massage course for C-section scars

You’ve had major abdominal surgery, but nobody really told you what to do about your scar.

Maybe it feels tight, sore or numb. Maybe you’ve been avoiding it completely, and now your tummy feels like it belongs to someone else.

You’ve probably been told:

❌ “Just leave it alone.”
❌ “Give it time.”
❌ Nothing at all.

But time alone isn’t always enough. And in the meantime, you might feel disconnected from your body, nervous about touching your tummy, and fed up with not knowing what to do.

You’re not alone, and you don’t have to just put up with it.

"Thanks so much, I have never touched the region of my scar in 18 months and I have today! I can’t believe it! Thank you so much!”
"Thank you for giving me the confidence to touch my scar. It's a huge emotional hurdle I am overcoming gradually & I really feel this has made me feel more in tune with my body."
"I've hardly looked at my belly, let alone my scar after my twin pregnancy as i've found it quite difficult to accept the physical changes, but this has really helped me start to reconnect with my body."

I'm on a mission to help you

I want to help you feel better about your tummy & scar

I’m Hannah, and I see abdominal scars every day in my treatment room. I’ve seen how much difference a few minutes of gentle massage can make, and I’ll show you how to do it yourself at home.

This course is for you if…

✔️ Your scar feels tight, sore or pulls when you move. Massage can help it feel softer and more comfortable, and it’s never too late to start, however long it’s been since your surgery.

✔️ You’ve been avoiding touching your scar. It’s so common to find this hard. I’ll help you build up to it gently, at your own pace.

✔️ Your scar or tummy feels numb. Numbness can be physical and emotional. Gentle touch can help you get more feeling back and feel more connected to that area again.

✔️ You’re not sure what’s “normal” or what to do. I’ll walk you through it step by step, so you know what you’re doing and feel confident doing it.

 

✔️ You’ve got a tummy overhang. Tight scar tissue can be part of the picture, and working on your scar is a great place to begin. 

✔️ You find it hard to feel good about your tummy or scar. Our bodies change so much, and a scar you weren’t expecting can be hard to come to terms with. Starting to touch and care for it can help you feel more at home in your body again.

✔️ Your surgery, birth or recovery was hard. Reconnecting with your body through gentle touch can be a really comforting experience for many women.

Don't underestimate the healing potential of this simple yet transformative practice.

Common questions

Yes absolutely! I will teach you everything you need to know to massage your scar safely.

Yes, whatever abdominal surgery you’ve had, whether that’s a hysterectomy, fibroid removal, gallbladder removal, gynaecological surgery or laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, the same principles apply.

As soon as your scar is fully healed. By this we mean, fully closed, completely dry, no scabs remaining etc. Usually approx 6-8 weeks for a major surgery such as C-section birth or hysterectomy but maybe sooner for smaller scars. Please always seek medical advice first if you are unsure.

No not all! It’s never too late to start massaging your scar. Our bodies have an amazing capacity to heal and to change and it’s never too late to start working on our scars!
