Massage your scar, heal your pelvis: new study tests simple postpartum fix

This study looked at whether a larger trial on self-scar massage for women after childbirth is possible. 14 new mothers with healed episiotomy or perineal tears were asked to massage their scar tissue at home for 6 weeks. The goal was to see if women would stick with the routine and if it could improve pelvic health. This is a small pilot study, so results are about feasibility, not yet about proven benefits.
