C-Section, Hysterectomy & Abdominal Scar Therapy in Langley

I provide specialist C-section scar massage and scar therapy in Langley for women recovering from C-sections, hysterectomies and other abdominal surgery. With over 7 years specialising in scar therapy and more than 22 years’ experience as a Personal Trainer and Massage Therapist, I take a whole-body approach to your recovery.

As a Pilates Instructor with over 14 years’ experience and specialist training in women’s health, core rehabilitation and postnatal recovery, I look at more than just the scar itself. I consider how your scar and surrounding tissues may be affecting your movement, posture, core and pelvic health, and what you want to get back to doing.

Where appropriate, I combine hands-on scar therapy with personalised movement and exercise, helping you improve mobility, rebuild strength and feel more comfortable and confident in your body. Your treatment is tailored to you, your surgery, your recovery and your individual goals.

How C-Section Scar Massage Can Help

As a scar heals, the surrounding tissues can sometimes feel tight, sensitive, numb or restricted. You may notice pulling, discomfort or changes in how you move and feel around your abdomen.

C-Section Scar massage uses gentle, hands-on techniques to work with the scar and surrounding tissues. Depending on your individual scar, surgery and recovery, treatment may help:

Improve the mobility and flexibility of scar tissue
Reduce feelings of tightness, pulling and restriction
Improve comfort with movement and everyday activities
Support improvements in sensation around the scar
Support core function and postural awareness
Support your return to exercise and strength training

Every treatment is tailored to you and carried out at a pace that feels comfortable. Before we begin, I’ll assess your scar, surrounding tissues and movement so we can work out the most appropriate approach for your needs.

Rebuilding Your Core & Strength After C-Section or Abdominal Surgery

C-Section Scar massage can be combined with personalised exercise to support your wider recovery.

As a specialist Personal Trainer with expertise in women’s health and core rehabilitation, I can help you gradually rebuild your strength, improve how you move and feel more confident in your body.

Depending on your goals, this may include simple home exercises, core rehabilitation, Pilates-inspired movement or progressive strength training.

Whether you want to feel stronger after pregnancy or surgery, return to exercise, get back to lifting weights or simply feel more comfortable in your body, we start where you are and progress gradually.

One-to-one Personal Training is available in my private gym in Langley, providing a comfortable and supportive environment to work towards your individual goals.

What to Expect in Your First Appointment

Your first appointment may include:

An assessment of your posture, breathing, core function and diastasis recti
Discussion of any discomfort or restrictions affecting your everyday life
Gentle soft-tissue work to the surrounding areas
Gentle work on the scar and surrounding tissues, where appropriate
Simple exercises to continue your recovery at home

You are always in control of the treatment, and we work at a pace that feels right for you.

If your scar still feels tight, uncomfortable or restricted, or you simply don’t feel quite like yourself after surgery, get in touch to find out how I can help.

If you can’t see an appointment time that works for you, please call me on 07984 417053 and I’ll do my best to help.

C-Section Scar Massage FAQ

When can I start scar massage after a C-section?

You can typically begin around 8 weeks postnatal, once your scar is fully healed and you’ve had clearance from your midwife, GP, or consultant.

Why should I get a C-section scar massage?

Scar massage can help:

Reduce tightness, numbness, or pulling
Improve blood flow and healing
Prevent or soften adhesions (internal scar tissue)
Support emotional healing and body confidence

Does it hurt?

No – it should never be painful. We work gently and gradually, only within your comfort zone. You’re always in control.

What does a scar massage session involve?

A gentle consultation and check-in
Hands-on massage around the scar and surrounding tissues
Education on how to safely massage the scar at home
Home exercises to help strengthen your core & reduce the overhang
Breathing and relaxation techniques to support healing

Can you still massage older scars?

Yes! Even if your C-section was months or years ago, scar therapy can still be beneficial. It’s never too late to support better function and comfort.

What should I wear to a session?

Wear comfortable clothing. You may be asked to lower your waistband slightly for access to the scar area. Your privacy and comfort are always respected.

Is it safe after multiple C-sections?

Yes – massage can be especially helpful if you've had multiple surgeries, as it helps release deeper layers of scar tissue.

Do I need to bring anything?

Just bring yourself. If you’ve had recent clearance or notes from your doctor or midwife, you’re welcome to share them, but it’s not essential.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on your scar, how your body is healing, and your goals. Some people feel relief after 1–2 sessions, while others benefit from a few more for lasting change.

I’ve been attending Natasha’s mat Pilates sessions for several years, great all round and varied workouts, and she has a great eye for detail and encouragement to improve technique, and breathing!! 😊

I was kindly gifted a pregnancy massage with Natasha and thoroughly enjoyed it. Natasha instantly put me at ease and gave me great advice. Thankfully when meeting Natasha she also mentioned c-section scar massage sessions which i didnt know exsisted. I am currently 5 months postpartum and recently went for a c-section scar massage, it was amazing! Not only was it relaxing but I experienced great results after just 1 session, I would highly recommend having a session with Natasha.

I am looking forward to having more scar massage sessions and trying out the pilates sessions too 🙂

I was fortunate to be recommended Natasha for massage when I was suffering with stiff sore muscles in my back. Gentle and thorough, she eased them back into full mobility. I also had the scar massage which improved and balanced my abdominal muscles even though it was many years since the surgery. Having had massages many times before from others, Natasha has been the best!

I enrolled because of lower back pain related to poor core muscle strength (I also have recti divarication and bulging spinal discs). Pilates came by recommendation from a rheumatologist. I am so glad I started Pilates with Natasha. After five months I'm starting to feel less intense back ache for the first time in years. Natasha's way of guiding you through the moves, encouraging, supportive, knowledgeable and personalised ensuring you only do moves that are suitable for your condition enables you to not only enjoy the sessions but see results. It's a joy to do each week and this is coming from someone who has never stuck with exercise/gym/even physio treatment. Absolutely highly recommended!

I would highly recommend the massage followed by weekly pilates sessions with Natasha if you want to really improve your core strength. After 3 C-section surgeries I had almost given up on things improving, but I’m thrilled to say they now are! Thank you Natasha.

Really great session for C section scar massage, had a really comprehensive chat and massage and came away feeling much better and with far less tension in my stomach and around my scar. Would 100% recommend.

I signed up to Pilates as I suffer with a back problem. I have noticed an improvement with this through attending the sessions. Natasha is very supportive and encouraging. It's a lovely welcoming atmosphere and I look forward to Monday evenings. All corrections are made in a discreet way and Natasha ensures that you work at a level that is right for you. I am really glad I signed up to the group and look forward to attending more pilates sessions with Natasha

I'm visiting in Datchet for a month and was so fortunate to find Natasha. I booked a weekly sports massage during my stay. After just the first session, I already felt improvement. She is knowledgeable about various techniuqes and understands body mechanics very well. As a massage therapist in the US myself, I was beyond happy with her knowledge and touch. I highly recommend her for regluar treatments or if you just need a little relaxing.

Attended pregnancy pilates over the last year. It was really easy to book and the sessions were incredibly helpful to keep aches and pains at bay. They also helped prep me for labour. Would highly recommend for any soon to be mums.

I’ve loved visiting Natasha throughout my pregnancy for Pilates and the most relaxing massages. I’d highly recommend to anyone who is expecting. A great way to learn about your body in pregnancy, speak to fellow mums and learn from Natasha’s trusted experience in this field, as as a mum herself.

Absolutely amazing result and only after 2 sessions!
Natasha is so knowledgeable and dedicated and a real gem to find
I have always resisted anyone touching my reconstruction scar but now would not hesitate recommending this to anyone wanting to feel better.
So grateful for Natasha’s expertise and caring

I have been attending Pilates sessions with Natasha for over 7 years. From pregnancy Pilates to post pregnancy and to weekly Pilates sessions. Natasha is very attentive and always tailors exercises to your needs and abilities. Highly recommend her classes especially if you have tight shoulders and an achy back. The stretches really help. Plus the relaxation session at the end is the best bit!

I attended pregnancy pilates with Natasha throughout my pregnancy. I found the class really enjoyable way to move especially as I got bigger. Natasha is very knowledgeable and when I found out my baby was breech and then transverse she gave me extra advice on exercises to move baby into a head down position...which worked a treat. I also had 2 pregnancy massages with her which were just what I needed when feeling heavy and achy. I will definitely be returning to Natasha's class to aid in my postpartum recovery.

I was holding so much tension in my lower abdomen following my c section, and the c section therapy massage helped so much! Definitely recommend for any mum who is feeling like something just seems off with her scar, even when it looks fully healed.

Freyja Barter

I've worked with Natasha for a number of years and she has guided me through both of my pregnancies. I was looking for a personal trainer who specialised in women's health and pregnancy. Natasha has been amazing, leaving me feeling confident and strong after each session. I can't recommend her enough and will be booking in with her to help with my postnatal recovery. Thank you Natasha 😊

Testimonials

Rebecca Falon

Really great experience with Natasha for my c-section scar rehab. She is clearly a specialist and very knowledgeable - she had my scar and stomach feeling much more engaged and flexible after just one session. I booked a course of six sessions, and I am so glad I did as every time I have a session my scar is so much better in movement, swelling and appearance afterwards. After three sessions I have no pooch or overhang. The sessions are relaxing and the core exercises to do in-between have been great - far better than I could find trying to DIY it on YouTube. My goal was to get back to weight training safely with my postpartum body and Natasha has 100% helped me achieve that - I'll be going back to the gym feeling strong. Highly recommended - thank you Natasha..

Catherine Reed

Booked in for scar tissues massages following my c-section. Noticed a significant difference in the appearance of my scar, even after just one session. The treatment has been very effective - would highly recommend!
