Gentle tissue release for c-section scar and period pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a gentle hand therapy technique that releases tight tissue in the belly and pelvic area to help reduce pain and improve scar mobility after a C-section. It may offer a drug-free option to ease menstrual pain and make the scar feel more comfortable.
