Mani Rai | Physiotherapist

Mani Rai- Women’s Health Physiotherapist


As a physiotherapist, one of the most common concerns I hear from mums after a C-section is, “What can I do to support my scar healing and feel more comfortable in my body again?” It’s completely normal to experience tightness, sensitivity and uncertainty around caring for your scar in those early weeks and months.


As someone who works closely with postnatal women, I understand how important it is to support recovery in a way that feels simple, effective and achievable. Looking after your scar isn’t just about appearance -  it’s about helping restore comfort, mobility and confidence as you recover.


Over the years, I’ve seen many products marketed for scar healing, but not all are backed by evidence or deliver meaningful results. That’s why I’m selective about what I recommend to mums.


Pregnancy & Baby Co’s Silicone Scar Strips and Silicone Gel & Roller are products I genuinely trust and recommend. Silicone therapy is one of the most clinically supported approaches for scar management, helping to hydrate the tissue, reduce redness and improve the appearance of scars over time. The addition of scar massage with the roller also helps address deeper adhesions that can contribute to tightness and discomfort.


I love that these products are easy to use, gentle on sensitive skin and designed specifically to support C-section recovery. Whether mums prefer the convenience of reusable silicone strips or the targeted benefits of the gel and roller, both options provide effective support throughout the healing process.


Recovery after a C-section deserves just as much attention as caring for your baby. That’s why I confidently recommend Pregnancy & Baby Co’s Silicone Scar Strips and Silicone Gel & Roller to the women I care for.
