Scar Support and LymphaTouch

Expert Specialist Scar Treatment in Beckenham

A caesarean section scar can cause a whole host of sensations. It may feel tight, sensitive or numb. Some women also notice swelling or a stubborn overhang of tissue above the scar. For others, it’s the appearance of the scar that feels distressing, especially when healing hasn’t progressed as expected.

At Physio Katy, I offer specialist scar support using a combination of hands-on treatment and advanced technology to help improve your recovery and overall comfort. One of the most effective tools we use is the LymphaTouch device – a safe, non-invasive option that’s part of our commitment to personalised postnatal care.

What is LymphaTouch?

LymphaTouch is a versatile tool for scar support that uses negative pressure application combined with high-frequency mechanical vibration. This dual action stimulates lymphatic circulation and encourages soft tissue mobilisation, helping to reduce fluid build-up and support the natural healing process.

Many women find it improves scar tissue mobility, reduces discomfort, and enhances the overall appearance of the scar over time, as well as aiding lymphatic drainage. The mobilization effect of LymphaTouch helps to prevent the formation of adhesions, which are bands of scar tissue that can bind tissues together in an abnormal way and create pain not only on the short term but also later on in life.

LymphaTouch can be a helpful addition to your recovery, whether you are newly postnatal or seeking support for an older scar. It forms part of a wider approach to scar therapy at our Beckenham clinic.
