Scar tissue massage in Torquay and the Surf Coast
Scar tissue massage in Torquay and the Surf Coast is a targeted treatment for healed scars that feel tight, sensitive or restricted. At Surfcoast Massage, scar massage uses hands-on techniques to improve the mobility and flexibility of the scar and surrounding tissue. Treatment is tailored to the type, location and age of the scar, as well as how the area feels and moves.
Scars form as part of the body’s natural healing process after an injury or surgical incision. As the tissue heals and matures, some scars can feel firm, tight or less mobile than the surrounding tissue. Scar tissue massage works directly with these areas once the wound has fully healed.
Benefits of scar tissue massage
Once a scar has fully healed and massage is appropriate, targeted scar tissue massage may help with:
- Improving mobility of the scar and surrounding tissue
- Reducing feelings of tightness or restriction
- Improving flexibility of healed scar tissue
- Working with areas where the scar feels tethered to underlying tissue
- Helping reduce sensitivity in some healed scars
- Supporting more comfortable movement around the affected area
- Addressing restrictions associated with older as well as more recent healed scars
Post surgery scar massage
Post surgery scar massage can be used for a range of healed surgical scars. Treatment may be helpful when the scar or surrounding area feels tight, firm, sensitive or tethered.
Scar tissue continues to change after an operation, so both newer healed scars and older scars can be considered for treatment. Massage should only begin once the incision has completely healed and your treating healthcare professional has advised that it is safe.
C section scar massage and caesarean scar massage
After a caesarean birth, the scar and surrounding tissues may feel tight, numb, sensitive or restricted. C section scar massage uses gentle, progressive techniques to work with the healed scar and surrounding tissue. Caesarean scar massage should only begin once the incision has healed and your doctor or midwife has confirmed it is safe to massage the area.
If you are also experiencing muscular tension or physical changes following pregnancy and birth, postpartum massage can provide broader postnatal treatment.
Massage for scars following cosmetic surgery
Cosmetic surgery scar massage can be tailored to the location of the incision and the procedure you have undergone. Facelift scar massage requires careful work around the delicate tissues of the face, jaw and neck. Breast surgery scar massage may be considered following procedures such as breast reduction, augmentation or other breast surgery once the incisions have healed.
