Dear Lynn 3 questions pls:
– how many layers of tissues are cut in a CS and their names pls
– are your fingers ON TOP or above & below the scar
– what do you mean by “where the surgeon stood on , is it the point of closure of the scar or the point of opening?
Subcutaneous fat (including Camper’s fascia, the superficial fatty layer)
Scarpa’s fascia (the deep membranous layer of subcutaneous tissue)
Rectus sheath (anterior fascia overlying the rectus abdominis muscles)
Rectus abdominis muscle (the paired “six-pack” muscles, usually separated bluntly rather than sharply cut)
Parietal peritoneum (the membrane lining the abdominal cavity)
Uterus (specifically, the lower uterine segment is incised)
Amniotic sac (if still intact at the time of surgery)
Your fingers are directly on the scar tissue initially unless that is painful then you can go above and below to work on the tissues. The where the surgeon stood on is the side of the body the surgeon stood on, left side or right side. I feel it contributes to the greater tension on one side more than the other.
Once the scar tissue is well healed you can work directly on it, if it’s not healed but they are having symptoms you can work on the tissues surrounding the scar but not directly on the healing wound.
Debbie, as soon as they are well healed usually around 6 weeks is a good time to start but it could be earlier too. It all depends on the healing for your client and each one is different.

Dear Lynn,
from which week after birth you will start to work on CS scars?
Once the scar tissue is well healed you can work directly on it, if it’s not healed but they are having symptoms you can work on the tissues surrounding the scar but not directly on the healing wound.
would you start working on well heeled scar tissue from around 6 weeks ?
