home advices
It consisted of 12 postpartum women having a post-Cesarean-section scar. They will receive no treatment program, only advices for home care
Routine daily scar care advices
Each woman in all groups (A, B, and C) will receive full instructions for daily post-cesarean-section scar care. Weekly revision for post-cesarean-section scar care will conduct by the researcher
myofascial release technique
It consisted of 12 postpartum women having a post-Cesarean-section scar. They will receive myofascial release technique for 20 minutes three times per week for eight weeks, in addition to advices for home care
Myofascial release
The study involves women in both groups receiving myofascial release technique for twenty minutes three times per week for eight weeks. The technique requires the patient's skin to be dry and not oily, and all techniques must be applied at the barrier of tissue resistance. The technique involves gentle, sustained pressure held at the barrier for at least five minutes to allow the patient to respond to the treatment and relax. The technique involves skin stretching and desensitization around the scar, using up and down, side-to-side, and circular maneuvers.
Routine daily scar care advices
Each woman in all groups (A, B, and C) will receive full instructions for daily post-cesarean-section scar care. Weekly revision for post-cesarean-section scar care will conduct by the researcher
deep friction massage
It consisted of 12 postpartum women having a post-Cesarean-section scar. They will receive deep friction massage for 20 minutes three times per week for eight weeks, in addition to advices for home care.
Deep friction massage
Women in both groups (C) will receive a deep friction massage three times a week for eight weeks, applying a fingertip pad perpendicularly to post-cesarean scar tissue, moving across the band and back-and-forth motion along the scar tissue's length.
