Soothing Therapy For Scars.

---

I specialise in women’s health and have over 10 years of experience in this field. If you are uncomfortable receiving care from a male practitioner who specialises in women’s health, I respectfully encourage you to seek support from another provider who better aligns with your comfort level, as my practice may not be the right fit for you. 

Massage Therapy for Female Scars.

Healing the female body is a deeply personal journey. Whether a woman is recovering from childbirth, surgery, or a medical condition, scar tissue can affect not only physical comfort but also emotional well-being. Scar-focused massage therapy offers a gentle, evidence-informed approach to reduce restrictions, restore mobility, and reconnect with the body.

Why Scar Massage Matters

Scar tissue forms naturally as the body repairs itself. However, without proper care, it can become tight, raised, sensitive, or uncomfortable. 

Scar massage helps by:

• Improving circulation to the affected area
• Softening rigid or tight tissue
• Reducing pain, numbness, or tingling
• Improving range of motion
• Enhancing skin elasticity
• Supporting lymphatic flow and reducing swelling
• Supporting emotional healing and body confidence

Types of Female Scars We Support

▶ Cesarean (C-Section) Scars

C-section scars may feel tight, numb, or sensitive for months or even years. Targeted massage:

• encourages mobility between the skin, fascia, and abdominal muscles
• reduces a “pulling” sensation
• helps prevent adhesions that may contribute to pelvic discomfort.

▶ Breast Surgery Scars

Including scars from:

• breast augmentation
• breast reduction
• mastectomy or lumpectomy
• reconstructive surgeries

Massage can help reduce postoperative stiffness, support symmetry, and soften scar texture.

▶ Laparoscopic & Gynecological Scars

From procedures such as:

• hysterectomy
• endometriosis surgery
• Ovarian cyst removal
• tubal ligation

Gentle scar work helps improve abdominal mobility and may ease lingering discomfort around incision sites.

▶ Perineal & Episiotomy Scars

Massage can help reduce sensitivity, improve elasticity, and support comfortable movement after childbirth.

▶ Cosmetic Surgery Scars

Including tummy tuck, liposuction, or other elective procedures. Scar therapy helps optimise long-term appearance and comfort.

How Scar Massage Works:

Ray's approach combines techniques such as:

• Myofascial release to soften connective tissue
• Manual lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling
• Cross-fibre friction to encourage tissue remodelling
• Light cupping (if appropriate) to lift and mobilise the fascia
• Gentle stretching and skin mobilisation

Each session is personalised based on your comfort level and stage of healing.

When to Start Scar Massage

Scar massage typically begins once the incision is fully healed and approved by a healthcare provider, usually around 6–8 weeks post-procedure, depending on the type of surgery. Older scars can still benefit, even years later.

Benefits Beyond the Body

Many women experience emotional relief through scar work. Reclaiming comfort in the body after surgery, birth, or illness can be empowering. Sessions offer a supportive, non-judgmental space for healing. Always get the Ok from your surgeon or GP if you have had any surgery lately, if an older scar, just boo,k no need for a GP on.

Hi Ray, Your massage on my sore back, gave me great relief. The sensation of your massage sent a tingling through my whole back. Which loosen the muscles and helped the blood flow around my burn scars. Thank you." Cheryl (ACT)
