At The Physiotherapy Centre, we specialise in the clinical management of scar tissue. Whether you are recovering from a C-section, breast cancer surgery, or abdominal procedures, our goal is to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve the aesthetic appearance of your scar.
We always recommend a Specialist Scar Assessment as your first step. Unlike a standard massage, this clinical evaluation allows us to:
Check for Adhesions: Determine if the scar is “tethered” to underlying muscle or organs.
Assess Sensitivity: Address areas of numbness, pulling, or pain.
Customise Your Plan: Determine the exact combination of manual therapy and technology needed for your specific tissue type.
We go beyond traditional massage by using the most advanced recovery devices available in Liverpool:
LymphaTouch™ (Myofascial Decompression): A medical-grade negative pressure device that gently lifts the tissue. This breaks down deep restrictions, reduces “shelving,” and stimulates lymphatic drainage more effectively than manual therapy alone.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage: To reduce post-surgical swelling and inflammation.
Silicone Therapy: Expert guidance on using medical-grade silicone patches to flatten and soften raised scars.
TECAR Therapy: this is available at our Crosby location only
Our staff are trained in treating scars of all shapes and sizes, including:
Post-Natal: C-Section scars and episiotomy recovery.
Oncology: Post-mastectomy and reconstruction scarring.
Surgical: Laparoscopy (keyhole) and major abdominal surgery scars.
