Do you have an abdominal scar, including from c-section(s), laparoscopy(s), abdominoplasty, or other? Does it cause you pain, discomfort, pulling or altered sensations? Or are you unhappy with how it looks, or have a 'shelf' above the scar? Do you struggle to engage your abdominal muscles during abdominal exercises? Perhaps you have back pain, ongoing only since your surgery? If you answered 'yes' to even one of those symptoms, this consult type is for you. Let's spend time assessing your scar, and all abdominal muscles in your trunk to see what muscles are firing, and what are struggling to activate, possibly due to scar tissue adhesions. This session includes an assessment, goals, and then thorough treatment including some or all of; massage, myofascial release, breathwork, scar tissue massage, cupping, dry needling, therapeutic ultrasound, and other scar healing advice. I also recommend booking a review appointment for 2 weeks after this consult.

This is a 45 minute review session, following up from an initial scar release session.

Mastitis isn't something that should be left to "watch and wait" as it can worsen very quickly & make you quite unwell.
