C-Section Scar Massage
Hands-on scar massage promotes complete healing & supports your return to wellness & functionality.
Why Massage Your Scar?
The scar tissue and adhesions that are an inevitable consequence of a C-section can cause, numbness and pulling which restrict full range of movement.
On the more serious end of the spectrum lies the possibility of chronic back & pelvic pain, bowel or digestive problems, secondary infertility issues, organ dysfunction and incontinence.
Most major surgeries include some level of physical therapy to promote full recovery. Unfortunately, physical therapy is usually NOT offered after a cesarean, and women are sent home to care for themselves and their newborns while  they heal.
Massaging your scar will help prevent and heal these issues. We can begin C-section scar work at 8+ weeks postpartum when the deeper layers of the scar are fully healed.
C-Section Scar Massage
This service can be offered during your postpartum massage, and takes anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes of the massage time depending on your tolerance.
To book, schedule a postpartum massage + C-section massage add-on at no extra cost.
The rest of the massage session will be spent on other areas of the body impacted by birth and childcare.
We can also teach you how to massage your own scar at home.
We can begin C-section scar work at 8+ weeks postpartum. Even though your surface scar may appear healed before then, the deeper layers need at least 8 weeks of healing before being massaged.Â

"I had a pandemic baby and an emergency C-section that was traumatic, and I was so relieved when Sparrow’s Nest began offering outside massages during that time. It was the first time I felt nurtured and comforted. Though my exterior scar was healing well, I had built up scar tissue inside, and with regular care I could feel it breaking down and softening. It made me want to keep coming so I could be sure my healing was complete."

"I’ve been receiving care from Sparrow’s Nest for 6 years now! After two vaginal births with my older daughters, I entered brand new territory when I had to schedule a C-section with my son for medical reasons. I had no idea what recovery would be like or how I’d accept my vertical scar that is larger than average. The scar massage not only aided my physical healing, but also helped me feel more comfortable in my new self. I trust Sparrow’s Nest with my most intimate details because they always use that information to tailor my care and bring me deep comfort."
Janelle Nguyen
After my emergency C-section, I wanted to make sure my body would fully recover. I had never heard of C-section scar massage until I came to Sparrow’s Nest. The scar work and full body massages were so effective at loosening the rigidity in my scar while also relaxing my entire body.With steady care during those early weeks of recovery, I felt stronger and more at ease. I’d recommend this to any woman healing from a C-section."
