Year-on-year caesarean section rates worldwide are increasing. However, it is well established there is a lack of aftercare and advice given to caesarean mothers.

It is well documented that women experience scar pain after caesarean sections and that women with severe scar defects have higher risk of adhesion formation, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and chronic pelvic pain. Scarring can cause other associated problems such as nerve pain and/or tight, red, raised and restrictive scars.

Caesarean scar massage has been shown to have several benefits including improving scar quality and reducing pain, decrease scar stiffness and improve scar quality. The ongoing results from our clinical questionnaire, show the positive outcomes of scar therapy intervention on a physical and psychological level; highlighting the need for scar therapy in post-surgical scarring.
