Book an AppointmentYour scar deserves specialist care
Surgical scars are often dismissed as simply part of recovery, something to accept and move on from. But scars can have a real impact on how your body looks, feels and functions, and many people live with tightness, numbness, sensitivity and restricted movement for years without knowing that treatment can help.
At Oak Park Clinic, scar tissue therapy is offered by Kate Bennett, who has specialist training in working with post-surgical scars of all kinds. Whether your scar is a few months old or many years old, scar therapy can make a meaningful difference, often more than most people expect.
We see patients from Farnham, Fleet, Hook, Aldershot and Farnborough with a wide range of post-surgical scars, from C-sections and knee replacements to cancer surgeries and other procedures.
Scars we treat
Kate works with post-surgical scars across a range of contexts. Here are some of the most common we see at Oak Park Clinic.
C-Section Scars
One of the most common scars we treat. C-section scars can cause tightness, numbness, a pulling sensation and sometimes abdominal pain or bladder pressure. Treatment can begin once the wound is fully healed, usually around 6 to 8 weeks post-surgery.
Knee Replacement Scars
Post-operative knee scars can restrict movement, cause tightness and affect rehabilitation. Scar therapy works alongside physiotherapy and osteopathy to support a fuller recovery and improve long-term function.
Cancer Surgery Scars
Including mastectomy, lumpectomy, port scars and other oncology-related surgical scars. Kate's oncology massage training means she understands the full context of these scars and the sensitivity required in treating them.
Abdominal Surgery Scars
Including appendectomy, laparoscopic surgery and other abdominal procedures. Adhesions and restrictions from abdominal scars can have wide-reaching effects on posture and movement.
Orthopaedic Surgery Scars
Hip replacement, shoulder surgery, ACL repair and other orthopaedic procedures can all leave scars that benefit from specialist treatment to optimise recovery and function.
Other Post-Surgical Scars

What can scar therapy improve?
Scar tissue therapy can address a wide range of symptoms, many of which people assume they simply have to live with.
Tightness & Pulling
The feeling that your scar is pulling on surrounding tissue, often felt during movement or stretching. Treatment helps release adhesions and restore normal tissue mobility.
Numbness & Altered Sensation
Areas of numbness or hypersensitivity around a scar are very common. Scar therapy can help restore normal sensation and reduce discomfort in the surrounding skin.
Restricted Movement
Scar tissue can limit range of motion in nearby joints or affect posture and movement patterns. Treatment works to free these restrictions and restore fuller function.
Pain Around the Scar
Persistent pain at or near a scar site, including pain that radiates into surrounding areas, can often be addressed effectively with specialist scar tissue treatment.
Appearance of the Scar
Regular scar therapy can improve the texture, colour and flatness of a scar over time, as well as reducing raised or thickened areas of scar tissue.
Emotional Relationship with the Scar
For many people, scars carry emotional significance. Gentle, skilled treatment can help restore a positive relationship with an area of the body that may feel difficult to connect with.
What to expect
Every scar is different and every session is individually planned. Here is how a typical appointment works.
Full Assessment
Kate will take a detailed history of your surgery, recovery and current symptoms. She'll assess the scar and surrounding tissue carefully before beginning any treatment.
Clear Explanation

Gentle Treatment
Specialist scar tissue techniques applied with sensitivity and skill. Treatment is gentle and non-invasive, and you remain fully in control throughout.
