I know this not just as a therapist, but in my own body…
After my laparoscopy, I was told everything had “healed well.” But healed didn’t mean integrated and definitely didn’t feel normal. There was pulling. Disconnection. Subtle restriction that affected how I moved, breathed, and even how safe my body felt. I told my dr this at my post op appointment and he actively said “don’t be silly, scar tissue doesn’t have any nerve endings, you won’t feel anything”. I competed in a BJJ tournament soon after and tore my abdominal muscles: I didn’t know how to properly rebuild my core after the surgery and the scare tissue was tighter and more brittle than I realised.
Even to this day, alongside managing my endometriosis, I’m still working on improving and nourishing this area. Learning how my scar tissue directly affects my fascia and is connected to tissue with nerve endings (in your face dr, what I felt was real 😂). Having abdominal massage, self massaging my scars, targeted stretching & myofacial release in yoga, acupuncture in my stomach and scars are all things that have massively helped.
In fact after a few acupuncture sessions one of my scars transformed from hard, red & visible to soft and barely visible. I was amazed.
Scar tissue isn’t just skin deep.
It can influence fascia, nerves, circulation, and the way your body communicates with itself. Through gentle scar therapy, massage, and acupuncture, we can: soften restriction, restore sensation, support nervous system regulation, help your body feel like home again.
This work is slow, respectful, and deeply grounding — just like the treatments I love & believe in. As a massage therapist I work with scar tissue every day at work, so yours is definitely welcome here. ❤️🩹
