The last two minutes was exactly what I needed to hear… the “emotional scaring” can be bigger than the actual scar. Thank you for telling us that we are allowed to have permission to be afraid or angry or insecure about our c sections. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Absolutely! That is the biggest and most important part.
I didn't know this information. I happened to find this video by chance. It makes sense why I still get the urge to use the bathroom after drinking water. I had no idea I would be going through this besides mourning my failed home birth. Thank you for posting this. It was helpful.
Thank you you have answered a lot of questions. I wish I lived closer thanks again. Honestly you have no idea...
Thank you so much for delicately addressing this. I get all teary eyed just thinking about touching my scar and then very angry when I actually touch it. Then feel shame after I stop. I thought I was just insane.
You are not insane! Just lots of emotions stuck in there. Honor them and feel them fully and that can help them release. Also talking thru it again can help too. Good luck.
thank you for this video! I'll try it, I was hoping for VBAC this march, but ended with a second C-section anyway. So I have still lots of emotions tied to it for sure!
How far apart where your two c-ssctions
Great video. Wondering why the doctors do not provide this information? Please make a video on how to avoid another c section? Any tips/factors to consider for VBAC?
I love this video and the information! What products, if any, do you recommend using for massaging cesarean birth scars?
I don't recommend using any products while you are massaging and trying to break up the scar tissue as you want the friction of the skin on skin to help move the tissues. Castor oil packs are great for helping with scar tissue though after massaging. Thanks for asking!
Thank you so much for this video. I had a c section in 2012(4yrs ago) About 2 yrs ago I started developing discomfort/pain/pulling in my lower abd area. Gyno couldnt figure it out, switched gynos still no answers. Its made it hard for me to run(i was a runner before) and definitely cannot do situps. This sounds like it might be the problem! I am looking forward to watching your massage video. Thank you!
Yes, give it a go and you should feel better. Most MD"s don't understand or give much credit to scar tissue. It really can cause some issues!!! Good luck!
This is so true, when you get c section massage you really release a lot of emotions you didn't know was there.
Thank you so much mom, I am going to try it right away
Thank you for this info.i am facing same back issue after 3 weeks CS post partum and actually the third. I have never been told or heard about scar massage. After a week and f this third, my ob GYN told me to start using the belt.i tried and felt like I just had a fresh cs, immediately I stopped. I am trying again today in my third week pp and feel better. I needed this session and will ask her about the massage on my 6 weeks visit which is Nov 4
Thank u doc. I think u are right. I always pain in my right side abdominals. Cant fine nothing. The doctor said maybe from scar tissue
Hello, I had my baby 10 months ago...second baby, he was breech dr refused to deliver him even though he was Frank breech and he was my second baby (also my first was a vaginal birth) so a breech birth was doable but we all know it's not as profitable as carving someone open....anyways obviously you can see I still have so much resentment and am very emotional as I write this because I had my heart set on a natural birth in a birthing center and am also recovering from terrible post partum depression, just started bonding with my son a few months ago...I am still so heartbroken but am working towards accepting what happened and trying to move on, I'm back to working out and being my athletic self again but am scared to death of hitting problems 10 years from now....sorry for the rant, thank you so much for sharing this video they should have an entire floor dedicated to c section recovery/ therapies in hospitals....do you know anyone that is well experienced in massage therapy in the New York City area....thank you so much again, godbless.
Love this video!! Thank you so much for your knowledge. My c section is almost 15 years old and I don’t have any of the symptoms. But after using my yoni egg I feel my bladder and uterus are overworked. The uterus has its own muscle. would like your opinion, suggestion and thoughts?? Thank you so much for what you do!!
Not sure what you mean by overworked bladder and uterus. Those two organs do get pushed out of place with pregnancy and that could be what you are feeling as when these organs aren't happy in there the pelvic floor muscles can't work as well. Please see a Birth Healing Specialist in my Directory and they can help get things back into place and working well. instituteforbirthhealing.com/business-directory/. Good luck.
Yes I'm try this c section scar massage method I had a emergency c section July 25, 2008 and I had repeated c section December 21,2016
I soooo needed to see this video. Thank you SO Much Lynn❤. You did a most EXCELLENT job at the material covered. I had issues with sciatica with my last 2 of 4 babies. Both c sections. I went to pt with this last baby because the pain was so bad, id even get stuck in stretching positions and crying when my husband would try to help me release the position. I had a different dr this last baby and she was very rude to me. I had pain, like not discomfort but ACTUAL PAIN with just the cervical checks during pregnancy and labor. Im not a first time mama and I have a high tolerance for pain. I am also a NURSE!! Something wasn't right and no kne has ever given me any answers as to why I was all of a sudden having cervical check PAIN with baby 4 of 4.... but not with the 1st 3. No one ever even looked into it. So I had 2 emergency c sections last 2 babies. And this makes perfect sense now. When I went to pt, the therapist adjusted my pelvis. She said it was lopsided probably due to the presence of relaxin and me compensating. My understanding since watching your video, is that I probably also had scar tissue. I had no more sciatica and no more leg dragging after that. However, this has caused so many mental issues, mental distrust, self distrust bc the OB had told me a few times of the many that she wasn't even to my cervix yet and I was having pain. Cervical pain. I felt like I was crazy. Mental. I had gone from a strong woman that always had it all together to this little tiny vulnerable afraid creature that felt things that weren't there. Thank you for this. I will be sending this video to my therapist to touch on tomorrow during counseling. You're truly amazing. I have a calling for similar care as you just provided to me without even meeting me. 🤗❤
Jazzmom, Yes those cervical and vaginal tissues can get sensitive from restriction. So glad you are getting the help you need. You are not broken. There is a reason, some doctors just don't understand. Best of luck to you.
Omg. Thank you so much
thankyou!
I had a c-section 25 years ago and never heard of massaging the scar until this video. My scar still gives me trouble all these years later.
It’s not too late, please massage it and see what happens.
Can you make a video about cesarean scar endometriosis?
I been active since on the 4th day of my c section. I hope I turn out all good
I'm very overweight, can you tell me if this hinders massage of my c section scar? Do I need to press harder?
hey ..love your video, is it possible to do scar massage when your 22 weeks pregnant. i had an emergency csection about 16 months ago. i am hoping to try a vbac this time but am open to change birth plan if something should arise
I wouldn't massage it if you aren't having any issues. The expanding uterus will take care of the scar tissue and stretch it out. Now if you are having pain then I'd work really gently around the scar tissue and still do what I say in the video but you won't be sinking into the tissues. See a massage therapist skilled in scar tissue release work or one of my birth healing specialists here: instituteforbirthhealing.com/business-directory/ . Good luck.
Six months post c section my scar pains like a fresh wound on the right side of the scar .is it normal? The pain is excruciating
Does this help with upper abdominal pain and upper back pain? Because I have two kids and my last c-section was 2 years ago
Maybe with upper abdominal pain but not upper back pain. Upper back pain could be from jamming of your organs from pregnancy. See difficulty breathing video.
Hii . I am 4.5 months. Is it too late to start massaging ?. Also does massaging helps with c section shelf ?
The incision should move right ?
I had a csection 2 weeks ago..when can I start doing the messages??
I have pain on my ride side and hip. I also feel lump on my right side on top of my csection cut.
fitjelly0303 the tissue probably isn’t fully healed yet underneath so I would avoid direct on top massage but you can do around the scar. Focus on that right side and loosening up the tissues around your scar. See if that helps. In a week or two go directly on top of the scar and roll and compress the lumps. See if they get smaller. Don’t be too aggressive and let pain be your guide. Good luck.
Didn't know the benefits of massaging c section scar. I had a c section 7 years ago would this be beneficial to me?
It sure would. It doesn't matter how long it's been, get in there and start massaging and releasing any tightness you feel. The problems women develop from scar tissue sometimes don't develop until 10-15 years later. So massage away!!! Good luck!
Hi your video is so helpful 😊 I experience urine urgency whenever I lay down and have to go like even after 10 mins, could this be related to scar tissue ? But while standing I can go longer without having to run for washroom breaks
It’s possible. Massage away and see what happens!
I had my 2ed c section past 3years ago.but now I having pain n stitching place while my period time only.plz tell me about it.
Karthika pandian your uterus is restricted and needs more mobility. Please see one of my birth healing specialists on my website or someone who does visceral manipulation. You can google them. Good luck
how soon after c=section can you massage the scar? Also, can massaging help adhesion that may have developed?
Once the skin is healed you can do gentle massage and then go deeper as pain tolerates. Yes it can help with adhesions.
I had a C-section 7 years ago, a VBAC 5 years ago and a second C-section 2 years ago. I also have diastasis recti. I want another baby but I want to get my body as ready as possible. Is my body too far gone to remove scar tissue????
It shouldn't be!! Do your best to massage the scar tissue and see what you can do to heal your diastasis before you get pregnant again. Good luck!!
How many weeks do I need to have in other to start massaging the c-section?
Sheiloove Joseph you want to make sure the scar is well healed first to massage directly on top of the scar but if you are having pains you can massage around the scar. Good luck.
Can I use the fascia blaster on my csection scar?
Shay Shay you can try but using your hands works just fine. The deepest layer is the most important and not sure how far down that devise will get you. Good luck!
hi! i had a csection 6mos ago and i start noticing that im having a keloid scar about 3mos after my csection. will it help if i massage it? or should i use certain product to help cure the keloid scar such as the silicone gel sheet? thanks!
It can help it but I'd also do the gel sheet too. It can't hurt! Good luck!
Institute for Birth Healing - Lynn Schulte, PT thanks!
Omg that might be me after my last csection
My back hurts and I pee so much
I am not having any of those issues but when I stretch, my ENTIRE abdominal wall locks up on my left side and I am unable to move or take deep breaths until it passes. Also, my scar is pushing against my fallopian tube.
Yes, all the more reason to massage it to release it. You can just go gently but firmly too. Good luck!
When I do my scar massage
I had my 2nd c section 2 weeks ago. The doc said I had really bad scar tissue so I m hoping to reduce scar tissue 2nd time around. Can I start massaging now? My scar still feel tender
You need to let the tissues heal. You can massage around the area but I'd wait to massage directly on the scar for a couple more weeks. Massaging the area can help with the scar tissue formation. Good luck and congrats on your new baby!
I learned these like a week ago
Shame on all those Gyn/Doctors that doesn't let us know something so important, is like we're cows! Also dealing with Diatasis Recti another issue with the belly pooch ☹
Omg I need you I pee too much have ALL these symptoms

Lynn, I have a client who had a PT work on her scar and she developed a keloid scar, so she had to get the "anti-keloid-scar- injection again. Have you heard of this before?
No I haven't. I don't think a massage can create a keloid. I thought is was more genetics and some peoples tissues just create them and others don't. Sometimes they take 3 months to form so it could just be a coincidence of timing.
@@instituteforbirthhealing-l520 how do i massage my c section scar i have a lump and it hurts everytime I'm on my cycle.
@@rusquitayparraguirre4486 Try to massage it when you are not on your cycle and see if that helps. Or Go get a Birth Healing Specialist to help you out. They can be found on here: instituteforbirthhealing.com/business-directory/. Good luck!
Thank you for this video. You’re so pretty. I had c section 6 months ago and i feel sudden tingling in one corner of my scar. Can it go out by massaging my scar.
Warda Ali tingling is a sign the nerve is regenerating. The massage may or may not help that. Nerves just take time to heal.
Institute for Birth Healing - Lynn Schulte, PT is it something i should worry about. I’m 24 years old and i have c section at 32 weeks because i had complete placenta previa. My body was not ready for that. One corner of my scar is not healing good. I don’t know what to do for that 😔
When I saw your video i thought I got something helpful. I don’t know what is nerve regeneration an you please explain me about that.
@@wardaali8979 Place your hand over the bandage of the open part and help it to release any of the shock and trauma from the birth. Help your body realize it's over, baby is ok and it's ok to heal. Good luck!
Institute for Birth Healing - Lynn Schulte, PT it is not open it’s just feel like it is not okay sometimes it just feels like an electric shock to me while I’m standing this feeling is just for 5-10 seconds but it makes me worried. Sometimes tingling nobody is here to tell me what’s going on.
Would reducing the scar tissue increase the chance of a successful vbac?
The scar tissue isn't the only thing to consider for vbac. I'd make sure your pelvic floor muscles have normal tone and are even side to side and your pelvis has good mobility. You also need to make sure your abdominal tissues and uterus have good mobility for baby to get into the best position to come out. There are a lot of factors.
Thats the question I wanted to ask. I had a c section and reading the comments and from from other people it is likely to have a c section again. Please make a video on what things to do to avoid having another c section. Thank you
Can massaging your c section scar help prevent c section scar defect? And prevent inferility post c section?
Yes it can. Good luck.
How soon can I start? This is my 4th c section. Dr told me no more kids that I had the most scar tissue she's seen.
Wait until the scar has healed and then you can go for it. Usually after the skin is healed you can do gentle massage to the first layer, then in another week or two, go deeper. Good luck!
@@instituteforbirthhealing-l520 how long typically should we wait for it to heal for a light massage? Six weeks or longer? Or is it possible before?
I have been massaging my scar n i noticed i had a swelling that dissappear since i started massaging my tummy sort of went down,i also had some pain on my tummy that also dissappear,so i think its gud to massage
YES!!! It can so help all these issues. Great job!
I am 15 months pp and just found out about csection scar massage… am I too late?
Never too late. massage away!!
What about abdominal massage post vaginal hysterectomy with an A and P repair?
This is focused on releasing the scar tissue. If the surgery used some ports through the abdomen then you can massage those but if they did it all vaginally then intercourse when appropriate is the best form of mobilization for you.
I wish I had of seen this when I had my last C-section. It has been over 3 years since my last C-section. I have all kind of issues that I swear have everything to do with my scar. My scar is fused to me and looks sucked in almost. It is very tight and sometimes hurts if the skin around there gets pulled. I even have a prominent vein that shows due to my skin being pulled once. Can I ask if sesame seed oil would be good to use in the massage process? I was given this advice from my Naturopath. Is there any corrective surgery that they can do? Or any tips that I could request from the doctors if I were to fall pregnant again? Thanks :-)
With the lower back part of your video, is it possible if one side of the scar is tighter than the other that It could make you walk with a slant?
Also I get the pain during intercourse with certain positions. Doctors think I may have a mild case of Endo.
Could scar tissue cause tail end bleeding? Sorry for so many questions.
You don't want to massage with the oil, you can use oil on the scar but you don't want to slip around the tissues when massaging so do the massage first then use the oil. You can still work to free up the tissues, it doesn't matter how long its been. Find a practitioner who works with scar tissue and get on it. It's not too late and you may notice lots of pulling during another pregnancy but again massage it could help. Good luck!
How harder should one press during the massage?
It’s applying enough pressure to engage the tissues and not cause pain. If you are too aggressive it will be painful and you don’t want that. Some pressure to help encourage the tissues to release but not too much to cause pain. Good luck!
I had a C-Secion about 15 months ago & I still can’t feel my skin near my scar, is it normal? Or will the massage help?
Shasi Limbu yes that is normal. The nerves get cut and take a very long time to heal. Massage will help! Good luck
I had c section 19 months ago but i still have pain
This can still help. if it doesn't help with your pain please go see a trauma therapist as there may be trauma being held in your tissues.
does it help with c section pootch?
It can help release the restriction in the scarring, as to the pooch, that is more weakness of your abdominal muscles or skin and fat from the pregnancy. Massage it and see what happens.
I had my son Feb 2017. I have pain, muscle spasms and I can feel almost like lumps in and under my scar on the side that it got an infection a whole after the section. Is it too late to try massages?
Never too late. Massage away.
can I massage during 2nd pregnancy?
You want to be careful with this as the uterus and baby are right there. I don't recommend you do it unless you are having pain or discomfort or you have someone with experience do it for you. Just don't want to disrupt baby growing in there! Good luck with this pregnancy!
thank you
