Summary

Postoperative scarring is one of the most common concerns among surgical patients. The incidence of abnormal scarring, i.e. keloid or hypertrophic scar formation after caesarean section (CS) is reported to be 41% .That can lead to functional limitations, pruritus, pain and cosmetic issues. so, the purpose of this study is to investigate quality of life and pain pressure threshold in response to myofascial induction and direct scar release techniques for lower transverse abdominal scar
