Located in Diamond Creek and supporting women across Plenty, South Morang, Eltham, Greensborough, Doreen and surrounding areas, our treatments are never one-size-fits-all. Every session is tailored to your scar's healing, your body’s movement, and the support that will help reduce restriction, improve comfort, and restore confidence in your body.
Whether you are experiencing tightness around your scar, pulling sensations, numbness, lower back or pelvic discomfort, or simply feeling disconnected from your core, this care is designed specifically for your recovery.
Scar Release Appointments
Scar release appointments are designed to support healing and restore comfort, movement, and function following a caesarean birth or other abdominal procedures. Even fully healed scars can create tension or restriction in surrounding tissues, which may impact posture, breathing, pelvic floor function, and contribute to secondary discomfort such as hip, back, or pelvic pain.
What’s involved in a Scar Release Appointment:
A thorough discussion of your surgical and postpartum history, including healing progress and current concerns
Assessment of the scar and surrounding tissue, including mobility, sensitivity, and tension
Breath assessment to support optimal diaphragm function and pelvic floor coordination
Diastasis assessment and guidance on safe recovery and strengthening strategies
Gentle, hands-on techniques to improve tissue mobility, release restriction, and support pelvic floor connection
Practical self-care strategies to continue improving tissue mobility, pelvic floor function, breathing mechanics, and overall comfort at home
Exercise and movement guidance to restore mobility, reduce discomfort, and support ongoing recovery
Treatment is tailored to your comfort and stage of healing, with the goal of helping you move more freely, reduce tension, reconnect with your body, and relieve secondary pains such as hip, back, and pelvic discomfort.
Who is Scar Release Therapy for:
Women recovering from a caesarean birth.
Anyone with abdominal scars affecting movement, comfort, posture, or breathing.
Those experiencing tightness, pulling, or discomfort around a scar.
Women wanting to support pelvic floor recovery, diastasis healing, & overall postpartum function.

Hannah Lynch
Myotherapist & Founder
Hi, I’m Hannah — a women’s health Myotherapist, remedial massage therapist, mum of two, and the founder of Birthing Body AU. I’m deeply passionate about supporting women through Pregnancy Massage, Pregnancy Myotherapy, birth preparation, C-Section Scar Therapy, postpartum recovery, and women’s health care at every stage of life.
My own journey into motherhood changed everything. It gave me a much deeper understanding of how much women carry physically, mentally, and emotionally — especially while navigating pregnancy, recovery, parenting, work, and the ongoing demands of everyday life. I experienced firsthand how often women are expected to simply “push through” discomfort, tension, exhaustion, Back Pain, Pelvic Girdle Pain, and the constant changes happening within their bodies.
But I believe you deserve more than just coping.
That’s why my work is centred around creating a calm, supportive space where you feel listened to, cared for, and understood. Whether you’re seeking support for Pregnancy Pelvic Pain, Sciatica Pain, muscle tension, postural strain, birth recovery, or general movement and wellbeing, every treatment is tailored to your body, your symptoms, and what you need support with on the day.
Using a combination of myotherapy, remedial massage, soft tissue therapy, pregnancy massage, and movement-focused care, my goal is to help reduce pain, improve movement, and support you in feeling more comfortable and connected to your body again.
At Birthing Body AU, care is about more than simply treating symptoms — it’s about supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, recovery, movement, and everyday life with a gentle, evidence-informed, and holistic approach.
