When Something Still Isn’t Right:
Specialist Post-Surgical Recovery & Scar Rehabilitation
Whether your surgery was recent or years ago, how your scar heals — and how your body adapts around it — matters more than most people realise.
For some, the goal is to give their recovery the best possible start, ensuring the scar heals well and doesn’t become a source of restriction further down the line.
For others, something hasn’t felt right for a long time. Tightness, restricted movement, or pain that nobody has quite been able to explain. Perhaps you’ve seen other practitioners and still don’t have answers. Perhaps you’re not even sure your symptoms are connected to a surgery at all — especially if it was years ago and the scar itself has never caused you pain.
That connection is often missed. Scar tissue can create restriction that travels far from the original site, influencing movement, posture and comfort in ways that aren’t immediately obvious. A C-section scar affecting your lower back. An abdominal scar influencing your shoulder. A cosmetic procedure leaving unexpected tightness or restriction. Old and new scars alike.
My Approach
With over 30 years of physiotherapy experience, I specialise in understanding how scar tissue and restriction affect the whole body — not just the local area.
I look beyond the obvious. Where you feel pain or tightness is often not where the problem originates. My job is to find the connection, treat it, and help your body move and function as it should.
Treatment works not just on the scar itself but on movement and function throughout the body — because restriction rarely stays in one place, and lasting recovery rarely comes from treating one thing in isolation.
Recovery is more than just physical. How you sleep, how you move, how you feel about your scar — all of it matters and all of it is part of the conversation.
Treatment is unhurried, tailored and built around you — not a generic protocol. Appointments are longer by design, because understanding your full picture is part of the work.
If you’ve been struggling to find answers — or simply want to give your recovery the best possible start — I’d love to help.
