Surgical scars can affect more than the skin's surface. C-sections, hysterectomies, laparoscopic procedures, abdominal surgeries, injuries, and other operations can leave scar tissue that feels tight, pulls on surrounding tissues, or limits comfortable movement.

At FIXD Body Therapy, scar tissue massage uses specialized hands-on techniques to work with healed scars and the surrounding tissues. The goal is to improve tissue mobility, reduce feelings of tightness and restriction, and help you move with greater comfort.

Improve Tissue Mobility
Scar tissue can feel stiff or less flexible than the surrounding skin and connective tissue. Focused massage works with these tissues to encourage greater flexibility and ease of movement.

Reduce Tightness & Pulling
Scar tissue and surrounding restrictions may contribute to sensations of pulling, tension, or discomfort during everyday movement. Massage can help address these restrictions and improve comfort.

Address Abdominal & Pelvic Scars
C-sections, hysterectomies, laparoscopic procedures, and other abdominal or pelvic surgeries can leave scars that affect movement and comfort. Specialized scar tissue massage focuses on the scar and surrounding tissues.

Support Comfortable Movement
Restrictions around a scar may influence how nearby areas move, including the abdomen, hips, pelvis, and back. Improving tissue mobility can help make stretching and everyday activities more comfortable.

Support Circulation & Tissue Health
Massage encourages local circulation in the tissues being treated and can be incorporated into a broader approach to tissue mobility and comfort.

Address Scars Beyond the Abdomen
Scar tissue massage can also be used for scars from other surgeries, injuries, and procedures. Treatment is tailored to the location, condition, and mobility of the scar and surrounding tissues.

The effects of scar tissue aren't always limited to the immediate area. Depending on your needs, your session may combine focused scar tissue work with abdominal massage, myofascial release, and therapeutic bodywork for the back, hips, shoulders, or other areas affected by tension and restricted movement.
