If you’re experiencing itchiness, tightness, tugging pulling sensations, pain or discomfort when your c-section scar rubs up against the waistband of your leggings, you’re not alone.
Unfortunately it’s likely that your doctor may not have given you much direction about how to reduce c-section scar pain aside from saying that “it’s normal and it will go away”.
Sure these sensations may go away on their own, but they also may not.
The best thing you can do is work on your scar yourself to help reduce these annoying sensations.
So what’s a mama to do you ask?
START HERE and do these gentle movements I’m showing you today.
These very gentle movements are great for 0-6 weeks after cesarean section surgery.
These movements will:
- help you increase your mobility in the incision area which are going to go so far in your recovery process
- increase range of motion around the incision to manage and prevent adhesions that may build up in the area as the scar heals
- open up your front body and improve your postural awareness which is so important in reducing tension and pressure in and around the scar
- improve circulation to prevent fluid from building up and
- reduce inflammation at the site of the scar to help speed up the recovery time and reduce pain
Come join me in this video as we practice these gentle movements together.
