My c-section scar is sore during the exercises. Is that of concern?

If your scar is completely healed, it is not of concern. A c-section scar can bind down the connective tissue and deep core muscles and engaging these muscles can cause soreness. Although uncomfortable, it's actually great for loosening up restrictions and providing more mobility in the tissue. Using silicone scar strips also help with tissue healing and scar remodeling.

If your scar is not completely healed and you're noticing pain in the scar with the exercises, stop the workouts immediately and consult with your medical provider.
