Scar Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One service I offer that I’m passionate about is scar care. Part of my somatic sex education training focused on this, and I was amazed at how much I learned. To make a very brief summary, scar tissue grows after surgeries, wounds, and sometimes even inflammation and trauma. It is a connective tissue that develops with different fibers than the body creates without scars. It can cause adhesions, meaning multiple layers of tissue stick together instead of sliding past each other (for example, after a C-section, the uterine muscle, fascia, and abdominal muscles stick together), and it can also cause changes in sensation, such as numbness and pain. If you’d like to learn more about scar tissue, I talk more about it in my recorded class, La Sagrada Pelvis<\/em>. Personally, I was completely blown away by the knowledge that many people with vulvas experience changes in their sensations due to pelvic or genital scarring after vaginal births, cesarean sections, or surgeries, and that no one addresses these changes by focusing on pleasure.

Western medicine offers few solutions for scar tissue, but it can be treated very well with manual therapy. In Montreal, I was able to meet with two colleagues from somatic sex education and a massage therapist trained in scar work to discuss our scar-touching techniques. I continue to learn with every scar I touch, and I’m passionate about continuing to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
