c-section scar tissue release therapy long island

A c-section is a profound moment – an intersection of strength, birth, and survival. But once the dust settles and the healing begins, many women are left with a lasting reminder etched into their body: the scar. It’s more than skin deep. It may pull, ache, or feel like it doesn’t quite belong. Maybe it shifts the way your body moves. Or perhaps it casts a shadow over your confidence, intimacy, and daily comfort.

If this resonates with you, you’re not alone – and you’re not without options.

C-section scar massage therapy using the S.T.R.A.I.T. Method™, developed by internationally recognized therapist Marjorie Brook, offers an effective, compassionate path forward. This is about more than reducing a scar’s appearance – it’s about improving function, relieving discomfort, and helping you reconnect with your body on every level.

Why C-Section Scar Therapy is Often Necessary

You’ve probably heard, “it’s just a scar.” But if you’ve felt pain, tightness, or even emotional distance from your body since your c-section, you know it’s not that simple.

A c-section scar may seem like a minor detail on the outside, yet it can cause a ripple effect beneath the surface.

Scar tissue from c-section can:

restrict the surrounding fascia, muscles, and organs
alter posture and affect gait mechanics
lead to pelvic pain, back discomfort, or reduced core stability
influence bladder function and bowel regularity
affect intimacy and body image in subtle and significant ways

And yet, in many follow-ups, scar care is either rushed or completely overlooked. This gap in postpartum care leaves many women feeling confused and unsupported. That’s exactly why specialized therapy matters. The S.T.R.A.I.T. Method™ fills that void, offering science-backed, client-centered care that goes beyond the superficial.

Benefits of C-Section Scar Therapy

While every client’s experience is unique, the potential benefits of this therapy are both physical and emotional. Clients often describe feeling “lighter,” “unstuck,” or even “like I got my body back.”

Physical Benefits

Decreased tightness and pulling sensations
Improved posture and core strength
Relief from pelvic or lower back pain
Enhance mobility and range of motion
Reduced inflammation and swelling
Improved bladder and digestive function

Emotional Benefits

Reconnection with your body and self-image
Reduced anxiety related to touch or intimacy
Sense of empowerment over the healing process
Release of emotional trauma associated with the birth experience
Increased confidence in movement, fitness, and sexuality

Scar therapy can impact more than appearance – it changes how you feel in your skin – both literally and metaphorically.

Why Choose Marjorie Brook, LMT

You’ve probably heard of “scar massage” before – but this is something entirely different. What makes Marjorie Brook’s work distinct is not just the method she created – it’s the heart, expertise, and dedication behind it.

Here’s what sets her apart:

Inventor of the S.T.R.A.I.T. Method™: a globally taught system used by therapists worldwide to treat scar tissue and fascial restrictions
30 years of experience: her career spans massage therapy, personal training, and martial arts, giving her a comprehensive, body-aware approach

No gimmicks, no pressure: you’ll never be sold on promised miracles; you’ll be guided, supported, and empowered instead

When you choose Marjorie, you’re choosing someone who views your scar as more than a line on your abdomen. She sees the story, the strength, and the opportunity for transformation.

How the S.T.R.A.I.T. Method™ Helps Heal C-Section Scars

The S.T.R.A.I.T. Method™ (scar tissue release and integrated therapies) is a comprehensive manual therapy system developed by Marjorie Brook, LMT, specifically to address the often-ignored consequences of scar tissue. When applied to c-section scars, it becomes a transformative tool in recovery.

Here’s how it works:

In-depth consultation: before any hands-on work begins, Marjorie reviews your full medical history, birth experience, and current symptoms.
Assessment of the scar: she examines how your scar looks, feels, and moves – or doesn’t. Even areas far from your abdomen may be evaluated, since compensations ripple throughout the body.

Manual scar release: using gentle, precise techniques, Marjorie manually releases fascial restrictions and adhesions around the scar. This helps restore tissue mobility and sensation.
Re-education and movement integration: once the scar is moving freely, Marjorie incorporates movement therapies to retrain the body, so it functions optimally and pain-free.

The result? Better function, improved comfort, and a body that feels more like yours again.

What to Expect During Treatment

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all or rushed “spa-style” appointment. Every detail of Marjorie’s approach is designed with you in mind.

From the moment you walk into her serene, private practice on Long Island, NY, you’ll feel the difference. Sessions are intentionally spaced apart so you never overlap with another client. There’s no pressure to “hurry up” and no distractions – just focused, therapeutic care.

C-section scar release is not painful. Techniques are adapted to your tolerance, and communication is welcomed throughout every session. If your scar feels hypersensitive or numb, that will be addressed with care, patience, and techniques tailored to support safe and lasting improvement.

You’re heard, not just seen. And you’ll never be expected to sign up for multiple pre-paid sessions with empty promises. Healing isn’t linear, and your care plan is as individual as you are.

When to Start C-Section Scar Therapy

You might be wondering: how soon is too soon? The answer depends on your body’s healing process.

Immediate postpartum (0-6 weeks): while direct scar work isn’t recommended during this period, Marjorie offers supportive sessions designed to help optimize healing and alignment
6-10 weeks postpartum: once the incision is closed, free of infection, and any staples or sutures are removed, scar release therapy can begin
Months or even years later: it’s never too late. Whether it’s been 3 months or 10 years since your c-section, therapy can still bring meaningful improvements. Scar tissue doesn’t vanish on its own – it adapts until you help it shift.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is c-section scar therapy painful?
No. The therapy is designed to be gentle and non-invasive. If any area feels especially tender or sensitive, the approach is modified accordingly.

How many sessions will I need?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Some clients notice improvements after one or two sessions, while others may benefit from a more extended treatment plan. You’re never required to commit upfront.

Can this help even if my scar is years old?
Absolutely. Scar tissue can be addressed long after it forms. Many of Marjorie’s clients have had their c-section five, ten, or even twenty years ago and still see significant results.

Does this therapy help with numbness or tingling?
Yes. Restoring sensation is a common goal and outcome. As the tissue softens and nerve pathways are gently stimulated, many clients report changes in sensation.

Is this covered by insurance?
Marjorie operates on a fee-for-service basis and does not accept insurance. However, a superbill can be provided for you to submit for possible reimbursement, depending on your coverage.

Love Marjorie…she knows exactly what she’s doing! Saved me … I have 50” + of abdominal scar tissue that she’s been addressing for a year. The scar looks great, the inflammation has decreased, and the dense, hard as a rock areas are softening. Not only is she a consummate professional but a warm, reassuring, genuinely good person. Thanks Marjorie.
