Belly Birth Scar Massage Guide - Free Download
Compiled by our friends at Viva La Vulva, this guide walks you through how to safely begin C-section scar massage once your incision has fully healed.
Scar massage plays a powerful role in postpartum recovery. When done correctly, it can help:
-
Mobilise skin and underlying tissues
-
Reduce scar tissue build-up
-
Increase blood flow
-
Improve flexibility and movement
-
Relieve itching and tightness
-
Support the return of sensation to the area
A C-section scar isn’t just surface-level, it affects multiple layers of tissue beneath the skin. This guide focuses on the whole picture, helping you gently reconnect with your body and support deeper healing, not just appearance.
Once healed, pairing scar massage with VLV’s Belly Birth Scar Oil can further support the process, making massage more comfortable while nourishing the skin.
A belly birth is no small thing. Planned or not you are damn incredible.
A C-section is major surgery, cutting through seven layers of the body. In most cases, major surgery comes with physiotherapy support but C-section mamas are often sent home without guidance. This guide helps bridge that gap, giving you practical, empowering tools to support your own recovery.
Scars are part of how our bodies heal. This one tells a powerful story and it deserves care, respect, and pride.
