Transform Your Scars from Painful to Peaceful​

Scars tell a story, but they don't have to dictate your comfort or movement. Whether from surgery, injury, or childbirth, scars can cause pain, sensitivity, and restrictions. Connect Pelvic Health offers specialized scar treatment to help you reclaim your body and improve the appearance and feel of your scars.

The Power of Scar Treatment​

Why Scars Can Cause Problems​​

Scars form as a natural part of the healing process, but sometimes they can lead to discomfort or dysfunction. Think of it like this: when your skin is injured, your body rushes to repair the damage, creating a patch of scar tissue. This tissue is made of the same stuff as your skin, but the fibers are arranged differently, kind of like a hastily woven fabric compared to a finely tailored garment. This difference in structure can sometimes cause issues.
​
Here's how scars can cause problems:
  • Adhesions: Imagine the scar tissue getting a bit "sticky" and attaching to surrounding tissues, like muscles or organs. This can create pulling and tension, leading to discomfort and restricted movement.
  • Sensitivity: The nerves around a scar can become overactive, making the area feel extra sensitive to touch or pressure. Sometimes, even the fear of pain can heighten sensitivity.
  • Muscle Weakness: When tissues are injured, the surrounding muscles often become weaker or less coordinated. This can affect your posture, movement patterns, and overall function.
  • Movement Changes: Painful scars can make you change the way you move to avoid discomfort. Over time, these altered movement patterns can lead to further problems.
The good news is that many of these issues can be addressed with appropriate treatment and care.

How We Can Help With Scar Treatment​

While we can't magically erase a scar, we can significantly improve its comfort and function. Our approach to scar treatment focuses on:

Improving Scar Mobility

​We use gentle hands-on techniques to soften and mobilize the scar tissue, improving its flexibility and reducing any pulling or tightness. Think of it like giving your scar a massage to help it relax and move more freely.

Reducing Sensitivity​

​We help desensitize the scar and surrounding area, gradually reducing any discomfort or oversensitivity to touch. This involves gentle techniques and exercises to help your nervous system calm down and perceive the scar in a less threatening way.​

Restoring Movement

We guide you through exercises to strengthen and coordinate the muscles around the scar, restoring healthy movement patterns and improving blood flow. This helps to reduce pain and prevent further dysfunction.
​
Research shows that these techniques can make a real difference. A 2012 review found that 90% of people with post-surgical scars who received scar massage therapy saw improvements in either the appearance of their scar or their overall function.

Dr. Brandi is one of a kind in her field. After many years of struggling with scar tissue from multiple abdominal surgeries, she was able to improve my daily life after just a couple of visits. She is so kind, but more than that, extremely knowledgeable in her field. Would absolutely recommend her for anyone!
