Every scar tells a story — one of strength, survival, and transformation. But that story doesn’t always end in comfort.

Many C-section mums are left with pain, numbness, sensitivity, or a deep disconnection from their body and scar. It might show up as tension, restriction, bloating that won’t go away, hip or tailbone pain, pelvic floor symptoms, or just a feeling that something isn’t quite right.

Scar release can help!
This gentle hands-on therapy supports scar tissue mobility, eases tension, improves circulation and nervous system regulation, leaving you feeling restored relaxed and helps you feel more like you again. Whether you’re newly postpartum or your C-section was 20 years ago — you’re welcome here.

This treatment is for you if you experience any of the following:

  • Achiness, pain, or sensitivity at or around the scar

  • Discomfort or pain when clothes rub against the scar

  • Stretching pain or pulling around the scar with movement

  • The scar feels lumpy, thick, or bumpy to the touch

  • An overhang that just won’t seem to go away

  • A jagged, wobbly, or indented appearance to the scar

  • Persistent lower back or hip pain

  • Pain at the scar during certain times of your cycle

  • Discomfort at the scar during sex

  • Feeling like your abs aren’t working, no matter how much core work you do

  • Numbness or tingling around the scar area

  • Limited range of motion or stiffness in the lower abdomen or pelvis

Scar must be minimum 12 weeks post surgery and fully healed (no scabbing)

  • "I had abdominal scar release treatment with Ash and benefited greatly from it. Ash made me feel comfortable, explained everything really well and answered any questions I had. I noticed a difference after my treatment having had back and hip issues that have significantly decreased. I was 18 months post partum when completing my treatment and just wish I’d known about this sooner. Would highly recommend for any c section mama as a must! Love that she connects this treatment to her Pilates services as well."

  • "I have seen Ash for a few years now, mainly for Pilates but most recently for c-section scar release, it was the treatment I didn’t know I needed and has put me back on track to reconnect with my body. Ash’s passion is second to none and she goes above and beyond to ensure you are comfortable and informed. The information during the care and post treatment was very easy to understand and all questions were answered before, during and after treatment."

    Sarah

  • "Before starting my c-section scar release journey with Ash I suffered pain and discomfort in my incision scar. All with with pain and ripping apart sensation in my internal vertical scar ( due to the position of my placenta during pregnancy) I had done a lot of research and c-section scar massage from the beginning but I was at a road block about 19 months PP. I honestly thought this was my life and I had to live with this discomfort and pain. I have just had my second c-section release and I can truly say Ash has changed my life. Not only does my c-section scar feel and move better. I feel I can stand up straight and breath deeper into my belly. Along with the appearance of my scar looks amazing and decrease in my c-section shelf over all. Ash goes above and beyond not only in her Myotherapy and pilates space. But she give you trailed scar care for at home along with videos to follow on with."

    Emily

  • "I would 100% recommend any service with Ash! I felt so comfortable with Ash’s beautiful, welcoming space and understanding nature. There was clear communication throughout the entire session, always checking in on how I was feeling and explaining what she was doing. Ash followed up with amazing resources that I can now keep and continue working on after this process and checked in on how I was doing post treatment. I have noticed a huge difference in my scar area and even others have immediately noticed a difference from photos! Can’t thank Ash enough for this experience, so glad I’ve done it!"

    Jess

  • "I noticed changes in my abdominal scar just after two sessions. I would recommend trying abdominal scar therapy to see the results yourself."

  • I absolutely loved that there is a treatment like this in such an unspoken and neglected area in women’s health (the scar tissue release from C sections) I have had four c sections and never known about a treatment like this but craved it unknowingly. It has helped me in gaining confidence and openness about my scarring and feel like a connection between the upper and lower half of my body. Ash has been so therapeutically helpful in helping my nervous system to process the discomfort in this area. Very grateful 🌸

  • Ash is such a warm and caring person. She made me feel so relaxed on meeting her and carefully explained what to expect from the process. I was so surprised at how much improvement I saw and felt after just one visit. Now after three, I can wholeheartedly say these treatments (and some self-message at home - when I remember!) have made the world of difference in my recovery. The scar colour has settled, the incision line is level, soft and flat, and the annoying twinges in my abdomen have gone. I recommend these scar release massages as an absolute must for c-section recovery. Thank you so much, Ash!!
