Is your scar healed… but your body still doesn’t feel quite right?
After abdominal surgery, the scar may look healed on the outside, but the tissues underneath can still be tight, restricted, numb or sensitive.
You may notice:
✨ Tightness around the scar
✨ Changes in sensation
✨ Swelling or discomfort
✨ Restricted movement
✨ A feeling that your abdomen just doesn’t move the way it used to
“Your scar is only one part of the healing process.” — Sam Lyden
Join Sam Lyden, Scar & Trauma Specialist & Paula Sharp, Nutritional Life Coach, for a practical, hands-on workshop exploring what can happen to the tissues, fascia, movement and lymphatic flow following abdominal surgery.
You won’t just sit and listen. Sam will demonstrate gentle techniques to support tissue mobility, comfort and lymphatic flow and you’ll have the opportunity to practise them yourself and understand what you’re doing and why.
I’ll be there supporting Sam with the hands-on learning and demonstrations.
Whether your surgery was recent or years ago, this workshop is designed to give you greater understanding, practical tools and a different perspective on your recovery.
