Manual scar therapy on the example of a caesarean section scar

Abstract

Surgical procedures (including cesarean section) or accidental cuts, may leave marks on the skin in the form of scars and accompanying ailments. There are many methods of scar treatment, including physiotherapeutic techniques. The aim of the study was to present the issues of manual work with a scar on the example of a scar after a caesarean section. Soft tissue manipulation techniques allow physiotherapists to be effective in removing the negative effects of poor wound healing, including restoring the aesthetics of visible tissues.
