Massage Therapy for Top Surgery Scars
All massage therapists in Canada are taught how to treat scar tissue. Top surgery scars are physically no different from any others and should not be a stigmatized topic for therapists or clients. I consider gender affirming care to be vital to the wellbeing of humanity as a whole, and I know that most top surgery doesn’t come with a lot of information.
The massage therapy I do for top surgery includes gentle treatment of the scars and the surrounding muscles and fascia, and remedial exercise information if it wasn’t provided after your procedure. If you used a binder prior to surgery, I also treat your diaphragm and ribcage, because they are often (literally) impacted by the mechanics of binders.
