A scar once held my whole body hostage – releasing it changed everything.

I asked Laura Barrett, a scar‑management specialist, to explain why surgical scars tug on more than just skin and how the right therapy sets you free.

* Scar therapy 101 – what happens in the first 6‑8 weeks and why even 30‑year‑old scars can still shift


* Hidden adhesions – how fascia glues organs together after C‑sections and keyhole ops


* Visceral mobilisation – gentle hands‑on moves that let your liver, bladder and bowel breathe


* Practical care – silicone strips, rose‑hip oil, soft cupping and my own lymphatic‑machine test‑drive


* Emotional release – reconnecting with your scar to clear stored trauma and boost confidence


* Pilates + physio – the combo that banishes back pain and the stubborn C‑section overhang
