Supporting Your Recovery After Birth 

The weeks and months after birth are a time of enormous physical change. As your body recovers from pregnancy and birth, you're also adapting to the demands of feeding, lifting, carrying, interrupted sleep, and caring for your baby.

Whether you're looking to ease everyday muscle tension, recover from persistent pain, improve the comfort and mobility of your C-section scar, or simply feel more comfortable in your body again, every treatment is tailored to your individual recovery.

Through postpartum remedial massage, postpartum myotherapy, and scar therapy, my goal is to support your recovery, help you move comfortably, and care for you through one of life's biggest transitions.

Postpartum Myotherapy 

Who Is It For?

Your body continues to adapt long after your baby is born. While some discomfort is expected during recovery, persistent pain, movement restrictions, or difficulty returning to everyday activities shouldn't simply be accepted as part of postpartum life.

Postpartum myotherapy is designed for women experiencing more complex or ongoing musculoskeletal concerns following pregnancy and birth. Rather than focusing solely on where you feel pain, treatment aims to understand how pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood have influenced the way your body moves and functions.

By identifying areas of increased strain, reduced mobility, or altered movement patterns, treatment is tailored to support your recovery, improve comfortable movement, and help you feel more capable in your body as you navigate motherhood.

You may benefit from postpartum myotherapy if you're experiencing:

• Persistent neck or shoulder pain
• Lower back pain
• Pelvic or hip pain
• Wrist or thumb pain from feeding or lifting your baby
• Abdominal weakness
• Pain with walking, lifting, exercising or everyday activities
• Ongoing muscle tightness or movement restrictions
• Symptoms that haven't improved since pregnancy or birth

How Can It Help?

Postpartum myotherapy aims to support the way your body recovers and adapts after birth. By addressing areas of increased strain and improving movement efficiency, treatment can help reduce pain while supporting your return to everyday activities.

Treatment may help to:

• Reduce persistent muscle and joint pain
• Improve comfortable movement throughout your recovery
• Reduce unnecessary muscular strain
• Improve mobility and movement options
• Support abdominal, pelvic, and whole-body recovery
• Improve confidence returning to exercise
• Make feeding, carrying, lifting, and caring for your baby more comfortable
• Support your body's transition into motherhood

How Does It Work?

Every appointment begins with a thorough assessment to understand your symptoms, movement patterns, and the physical changes that may be contributing to your pain.

Treatment is tailored to your individual presentation and may include:

• Soft tissue therapy
• Trigger point therapy
• Dry cupping
• Joint mobilisation
• Pregnancy and postpartum-specific rehabilitation
• Corrective exercise prescription
• Movement retraining
• Education and self-management strategies

As a qualified myotherapist, my treatment extends beyond massage alone. By combining clinical assessment, hands-on therapy, movement analysis, and rehabilitation strategies, I aim to not only relieve your pain but also identify and address why it developed.

When Should I Book?

There is no "right" time to seek support.

Although the postpartum period is often described as the first 12–18 months after birth, many women continue to experience pain, weakness, or movement changes well beyond this timeframe. Whether you've recently welcomed your baby or your children are now at school, it's never too late to address symptoms that have been affecting your daily life.

If pain is making it harder to care for your children, return to exercise, or simply move comfortably, postpartum myotherapy may help.

Abdominal & C-Section Scar Release

Who Is It For?

Scars may heal on the surface within weeks, but the deeper tissues beneath can remain tight, sensitive, or restricted for months—or even years. Whether from a caesarean birth or another abdominal surgery, scar tissue can influence how your body moves, feels, and functions long after the skin has healed.

Scar therapy is a gentle, evidence-informed treatment designed to improve the mobility and function of scar tissue while supporting your body's ongoing recovery. Treatment focuses specifically on the scar and surrounding tissues to reduce restrictions, improve movement, and restore comfort.

You may benefit from scar therapy if you're experiencing:

• Tightness or pulling around your scar
• Pain or tenderness
• Numbness or altered sensation
• Itching or sensitivity
• Restricted movement through your abdomen
• Lower back, hip, or pelvic discomfort
• Discomfort during exercise or everyday movement
• A feeling of disconnection from your scar or abdomen

How Can It Help?

Scar therapy aims to improve the way your scar moves, feels, and functions while supporting the health of the surrounding tissues.

Treatment may help to:

• Improve scar mobility and flexibility
• Reduce tightness, pulling, and discomfort
• Improve tissue movement
• Reduce sensitivity or altered sensation
• Support healthy tissue remodelling
• Improve comfort with movement and exercise
• Restore confidence in your body following surgery

How Does It Work?

Every appointment begins with a discussion about your birth, surgery, symptoms, and recovery. Treatment is always gentle and progresses at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Using specialised scar therapy techniques, treatment focuses on improving the mobility of the scar and surrounding tissues. Depending on your stage of healing and presentation, treatment may include:

• Scar mobilisation techniques
• Soft tissue therapy
• Myofascial release
• Gentle movement of the surrounding tissues
• Education and self-management strategies
• Home techniques to continue your progress between appointments

Scar therapy isn't simply about the appearance of a scar—it's about restoring movement, comfort, and confidence in the way your body functions.

When Should I Book?

Scar therapy can begin once your incision has fully healed and you've been medically cleared by your healthcare provider.

While many women begin treatment within the first few months following a caesarean birth, treatment can also be beneficial years later. Scars continue to change over time, and it's never too late to improve their mobility, comfort, and function.
