Scar Mobilization in Arlington Heights

Restore Tissue Mobility. Relieve Pain. Improve Function.

Scar tissue can silently disrupt the way your body moves and functions—especially when located near the pelvis, abdomen, or lower back. Whether you’ve had a C-section, episiotomy, hysterectomy, or abdominal surgery, scar tissue adhesions can contribute to pelvic floor dysfunction, pain, and mobility issues. At Northwest Wellness Group, we use scar mobilization therapy as part of a holistic pelvic floor rehabilitation approach to restore your body’s natural movement and improve comfort.

What Is Scar Mobilization?

Scar mobilization is a hands-on therapy that gently releases restrictions in and around scar tissue. Scar tissue forms naturally after surgery or injury, but it can adhere to surrounding muscles, fascia, and organs—limiting movement, pulling on structures, and contributing to pain or dysfunction.

When used in pelvic floor physical therapy, scar mobilization helps:

• Improve tissue mobility and elasticity
• Reduce pain, sensitivity, and tension around the scar
• Enhance blood flow and lymphatic drainage
• Restore core and pelvic floor function
• Support better posture and movement patterns
• Decrease pulling sensations, numbness, and discomfort during daily activities

Common Conditions Treated with Scar Mobilization

Scar mobilization is highly effective for those with:

• C-section or abdominal surgery scars
• Hysterectomy scars
• Episiotomy or perineal tears
• Laparoscopy incisions
• Endometriosis-related surgical scars
• Adhesions affecting pelvic floor mobility
• Pain during movement, intercourse, or daily tasks

If you’ve had surgery or trauma near the abdomen, pelvis, or lower spine, scar mobilization may be a key part of your pelvic floor recovery.

Why Scar Tissue Affects the Pelvic Floor

The pelvic floor doesn’t work in isolation—it’s connected to your abdomen, hips, spine, and internal organs through a continuous system of fascia and muscles. When scar tissue limits movement in one area, the body compensates elsewhere, leading to:

• Muscle imbalances
• Poor posture
• Pelvic pain
• Incontinence
• Core weakness
• Reduced range of motion

Scar mobilization addresses these issues at the source, restoring healthy mobility to support your overall function.
