C-Section Scar Release Therapy in Cambridge, ON
Reduce Pain, Restore Mobility, and Support Postpartum Healing
A Caesarean section (C-section) is a major surgical procedure—and while the incision may heal externally, the scar tissue beneath the surface can continue to affect the body long after childbirth.
At Galt Physiotherapy, we offer C-Section Scar Release Therapy (SRT) in Cambridge, Ontario—a safe, non-invasive treatment designed to reduce pain, improve scar mobility, and address the long-term physical effects of C-section scars.
What Is C-Section Scar Release Therapy?
C-Section Scar Release Therapy (SRT) is an advanced scar treatment that uses Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS) to improve tissue healing and reduce the negative impact of surgical scar tissue.
This therapy applies gentle microcurrent impulses to the area surrounding the C-section scar, helping to:
- Improve cellular metabolism and tissue regeneration
- Reduce adhesions and fascial restrictions
- Improve circulation and lymphatic flow
- Calm nervous system overactivity associated with chronic pain
SRT is based on modern scientific principles that support the skin and connective tissue’s natural ability to repair and self-regulate, making it both effective and comfortable.
Treatment at Galt Physiotherapy is delivered using the Dolphin Neurostim™, a medical-grade device widely used in scar and chronic pain management.
Why C-Section Scars Can Cause Ongoing Pain & Dysfunction
C-sections are one of the most common surgical procedures performed worldwide. While lifesaving, they can also lead to long-term physical issues if scar tissue is not properly addressed.
C-section scars may:
- Restrict fascia and connective tissue
- Affect muscles, nerves, and joints
- Limit normal movement and posture
- Disrupt circulation and lymphatic flow
- Increase sympathetic nervous system activity (stress response)
These restrictions can contribute to pain and dysfunction far beyond the abdominal area.
Research has linked C-section scars to:
- Chronic low back pain
- Shoulder and neck pain
- Pelvic and core instability
- Neuropathic pain patterns
Notably, studies have shown that only a small percentage of chronic pain is felt directly at the scar site, with most pain occurring in distant areas of the body (OGN, 2019).
How Scar Release Therapy Helps After a C-Section
Scar Release Therapy targets the underlying tissue dysfunction, not just the visible scar.
Clinical studies have reported:
- Significant pain reduction following treatment
- Improved scar mobility and tissue elasticity
- Reduced adhesions and fascial tension
One study reported over 80% pain reduction after a single application (OGN, 2018).
By reducing scar-related restrictions, many patients experience improved comfort during:
- Walking and standing
- Lifting and carrying
- Exercise and postpartum recovery
- Daily activities and childcare
