C-Section Scar & Belly Massage Spoon HACK!

Описание: Did you know using Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilizations (STM) can help heal your belly postpartum and after a surgery like a c-section?!🤯

Yes, even using a spoon or blunt edged tool can be used to break up soft tissue restrictions (myofascial decompression, using cups is one of my favorite ways to treat soft tissue restrictions on patients and myself!)⬇️

Soft tissue mobilizations are used in physical therapy to help normalize unhealthy tissues in the body that can be causing dysfunction and pain✅

Muscle spasms and hypertonic muscles can often decrease joint motion and result in localized or radiating pain in the body. In addition, post operative surgical sites can cause restrictions of different layers such as fascia, connective tissue, and skin which can result in postural dysfunction, abnormal body mechanics, and pain✅✅

The goal of soft tissue mobilization is to break up inelastic or fibrous tissues commonly called “myofascial adhesions” for improved range of motion, mobility, flexibility, and optimal joint function✅✅✅

It’s important to see a PHYSICAL THERAPIST to identify the area of greatest tissue restriction through layer-by-layer assessment. We can help break up “unhealthy tissues” with a wide variety of techniques to restore normal tissue texture‼️

When to start this after surgery will depend on your tissue, healing, type of surgery, and other complications or co-morbidities!

It can take up to two years for some wounds and scars to fully heal!🤯

I started doing self soft tissue mobilization within the first month after my surgery BUT I did a series of techniques in a specific order, and did not use anything over my surgical site❌

It’s best to ask your surgeon and the physical therapist treating you to know when to start and how to perform on yourself at home!⬇️

If you want to learn about what I did starting day one after my surgical site until three months postpartum then go to my website or LINK MKIN BIO to my Pregnancy Prep & Postpartum Recovery OR Postpartum Recovery Online Programs for more info!✅✅✅
