Cesarean Scar Release Therapy
Our holistic and innovative Cesarean healing program will help you heal and feel better, from the inside out.
Impact of Scar on the Body
C-section scar can come with traumatic feelings and emotions, which can activate sympathetic stress. This results in impaired healing as the surrounding muscles are tightened and blood flow to the area is restricted.
Persistent Cesarean scar pain and tightness severely impact abdominal strength and posture, and can lead to chronic hip and back pain. Scar adhesion can also cause bladder urgency and pelvic pain with sex (dyspareunia).
What is Cesarean Scar Release Therapy?
C-Section Scar Release Therapy utilizes Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS), which is approved by Health Canada and FDA. The devices apply brief and concentrated micro-current directly to the scar area. You will experience minimal pain, or sometimes none, during the session.
The treatment can help accelerate the healing process, decrease pain and tightness sensation at the scar. C-Section Scar Release Therapy was featured on Today’s Parents.
