ScarWork and Organ Mobility Therapy

Gentle, hands-on care for scars, adhesions, and organ mobility

Some pain doesn't come from muscle or joints, it comes from tissue that's lost its ability to glide, stretch, or move the way it needs to. I use two complementary, gentle manual therapy approaches to address this: ScarWork, for scar tissue at the skin and fascia, and visceral mobilization, for the deeper connective tissue that surrounds and supports your internal organs.

ScarWork: Weaving Scar Tissue Into the Whole

For scars from birth, surgery, C-section, and injuries

cars aren't just marks on the skin. Each muscle, bone, and organ of your body is wrapped in and woven through with fascia. Fascia is a continuous web of connective tissue linking layers under the skin. When that web is cut or torn, the surrounding tissue often can't fully reintegrate on its own, leading to tightness, numbness, restricted movement, or pain, sometimes far from the scar itself.

With ScarWork, I treat:

C-section scars affecting core strength, sensation, or movement
abdominal or pelvic surgery scars causing tightness between organs
episiotomy or perineal tearing scars affecting comfort or pelvic floor function
joint replacement or orthopedic surgery scars causing pelvic, back, and hip pain
scars that pull, itch, or feel tight with certain movements or clothing
numb, "stuck," or tethered-feeling scars, new or decades old

Organ Mobility Therapy: Chronic Pelvic Pain Relief

For chronic pelvic, bladder, and digestive discomfort

Your organs are meant to glide against each other and the surrounding tissue with every breath, movement, and meal. When that gliding motion gets restricted from surgery, infection, inflammation, or scar tissue, you can have pain and tension that doesn't show up on imaging. These restrictions don't respond to typical treatment. Visceral mobilization is derived from osteopathy, and is a gentle, hands-on technique that restores the natural mobility between organs and the tissues around them.

This work is often helpful for:

chronic pelvic pain without a clear diagnosis
IBS, bloating, or chronic digestive discomfort
pain or scar restriction after IUD placement or removal
post-infection discomfort from UTIs, bladder infections, or interstitial cystitis (IC)
pain following kidney stones
PCOS or endometriosis-related pain
C-section scars affecting bladder or bowel function
pain or bloating after abdominal surgery (appendectomy, gallbladder removal, hysterectomy)
painful periods or referred low back pain tied to pelvic organ restrictions
