✨ Reconnect with Your Body Through Gentle Scar Massage✨

Whether your scar is from a C-section, a surgery, or an old injury, healing goes much deeper than the surface.

Even long after a wound has closed on the outside, the tissue underneath can remain tight. For many women, this hidden tension can secretly cause:
• Stiffness or a pulling sensation when you stretch.
• Aches and discomfort in your lower back or pelvis.
• Changes in sensation, such as numbness, tingling, or sensitivity.
• A feeling of disconnection from that part of your body.

As an osteopath and scar practitioner, I treat your body as a whole. Through gentle, specialised Scar Massage Therapy, we work to soften tight tissue, restore natural movement, and help you feel fully comfortable and connected to your body again. Additionally, we compliment this with gentle techniques for you to use at home including nourishing products to give your skin the care it needs.

It is never too late to start. Whether your scar is from a recent birth or a procedure from decades ago, your body can still benefit from care.

You don't have to just live with the discomfort. Send a message today to ask a question, or call to book your initial, supportive consultation.

What an amazing weekend! Friday night was a trip up to Buxton to see Dr Lousie Newson on tour. An incredible night, full of information on all things menopause. Then Saturday and Sunday saw me over at Worksop for 2 days of practical Scar Therapy training with the wonderful Claire Stone from Restore Scar Therapy. After all that excitement, today I am back into clinic and ready to see patients this week.

Great article on DEXA scans. If you have concerns about your bone density, a family history of osteoporosis or if you have had issues with oestrogen levels such as menopause without HRT, please consider asking your GP for a scan.

Hello! This weekend I am undertaking a scar massage course to further my knowledge on this subject. As part of this I will need a couple of case studies from next week onwards.

I have already had a number of offers on older more mature scars which is amazing and much appreciated, however if anyone has a scar under 18 months old who wouldn't mind being a case study that would be perfect!

> You will be required to attend 2 free appointments.
> The sessions may include gentle silicone cupping and gentle massage around and on the scar.
> Each session will be 30-60 minutes long
> There will be self care advice for you to do at home.

If you are interested please either DM on Facebook, message or call on 07746381432 or email at [email protected]
