Dolphin Neurostim: Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS) Therapy for Cesarean Scar Release
|
The Dolphin Neurostim™ is an innovative technology used to quickly and effectively release cesarean scar tissue postpartum and decrease pain. The technique involves the simultaneous application of a safe low level electrical impulse to each side of the cesarean scar. The micro-current helps to relax and fade scar tissue, which can impede the functioning of muscles, fascia, and cause pain.
This speeds up the healing process by reducing restrictions and adhesions in the connective tissue. This physical healing allows mamas to return to/continue with lifting, walking, exercise and taking care of baby with less discomfort. The number of sessions is determined by the depth and healing capacity of the scar, and your physiotherapist will be able to further guide you regarding this during the appointment. Having said that, you will notice a significant visual change in the scar, as well as to touch, during your first appointment. |
Note: Microcurrent point stimulation is used as recommended by your health care provider, and should never be used during pregnancy, in regions with tumours/cancer, or on persons with a cardiac pacemaker.
Your Healing
The intention behind MPS cesarean section scar release therapy is to reduce adhesions and restrictions, increase circulation and reduce pain. Your increased mobility and comfort as a result of this therapy will enhance your capacity to take the best care of your baby and family.
Delivering your baby via caesarean section comes with extra considerations and awareness around your healing. Abdominal surgery requires extra time for your body to recover.
Mamas are encouraged to rest, focus on bonding with baby, and follow their healthcare practitioner's advice around post healing care. After six weeks we welcome you to book a 60 minute initial assessment and treatment with physiotherapist Nav Grewal. During this appointment she will review your health history, provide an assessment and a scar tissue release therapy treatment.

How Scars Negatively Influence Your Body
Previously published on dolphinmps.com/scarrelease
Scars have special influence on the body. They restrict metabolism, pull on fascia and negatively influence the body in many ways.
The above restrictions and blockages adversely affect the body in many ways, but the biggest influence is on pain. Fortunately, releasing the scar using MPS can yield powerful pain relieving outcomes results, which can improve mobility, diminish complications and decrease pain often found far removed from the scar site.
MPS Scar Release therapy (SRT) is a method used to release scars where MPS is applied bi-laterally to the entire length of the scar and then connected to key acupuncture points for localized cellular release and electrical re-connection of the body. This technique is especially effective in treating scars and adhesions deep inside us.
In general, this treatment is completely painless. You will see immediate visible changes in the appearance of the and pliability of the scar and gradually will notice a reduction in the tightness throughout the entire body. When a scar has been released there is no longer a restriction in the flow of energy, blood circulation and lymph drainage. The body can then complete the healing process.
The duration of treatment will depend on how many traumas and scars you have accumulated throughout your life. Whether from injury or surgery, scar tissue can always been significantly improved and softened with MPS Scar/Adhesion Release Therapy.
Scars have special influence on the body. They restrict metabolism, pull on fascia and negatively influence the body in many ways.
- Scars upregulate the sympathetic nervous system, producing stress, decreasing heart rate variability (HRV) and healing vagal tone.
- Scars create internal adhesions inside the body. Adhesions acts as internal strait jackets, reducing muscle/organ performance and produce pain.
- Scars injure fascia causing restrictions and structural imbalances.
- Scars suppress female hormone levels.
- Scars block blood circulation & energetic flows through the meridian system, producing energy and circulation stagnation in extremities (lower).
- Scars cause chronic pain throughout the body.
