Scar Tissue & Adhesion in Pooler
Regain Comfort, Restore Function, and Move Freely Again
Surgical procedures, childbirth, or past injuries can leave more than just a surface scar—they can lead to internal adhesions that restrict movement, cause pain, and disrupt pelvic organ function. At Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness, we offer advanced, hands-on treatment to gently release scar tissue and restore mobility for women in Pooler.
Understanding Scar Tissue and Adhesions
When your body heals after surgery or trauma, it forms scar tissue. Adhesions are internal bands of tissue that can develop when this scar tissue sticks to muscles, fascia, or organs. In the pelvic region, these adhesions may limit movement, create pressure, and cause chronic discomfort.
Common causes include:
- C-sections and abdominal surgeries
- Hysterectomy or laparoscopic procedures
- Episiotomy or tearing during childbirth
- Endometriosis-related scarring
If untreated, these restrictions can lead to ongoing pelvic pain, bowel or bladder dysfunction, painful intimacy, and emotional distress from feeling limited in your body.
Our Approach to Managing Scar Tissue & Adhesions At Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness
At Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness, we address both the surface and the underlying restrictions caused by scarring. Through targeted, gentle manual therapy, we help restore tissue mobility, reduce nerve irritation, and relieve the tension pulling your body out of alignment.
Treatment techniques may include:
- Myofascial release for tight tissues
- Visceral mobilization to support organ movement
- Cross-friction massage for scar desensitization
- Instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy
- Nerve gliding and mobility restoration
Posture and movement retraining
Every plan is personalized based on your scar history, physical symptoms, and recovery goals—whether your scar is new or decades old.
The Hidden Risks of Untreated Scar Adhesions
Even small adhesions can interfere with how your body moves and feels. Ignoring them may lead to:
- Persistent pelvic or abdominal pain
- Bowel and bladder irregularities
- Pain with intercourse or movement
- Loss of tissue sensation or flexibility
- Emotional frustration and physical limitations
Gentle physical therapy offers a non-invasive path to relief—no medications or surgeries required.

Success Stories & Testimonials
Dr. Polk is an amazing therapist who incorporates an array of manual therapy techniques to help you heal your pelvic floor issues & get you back to its prior functions. If you’re pregnant and are in pain you NEED to see her ASAP. I went to her twice during my recent pregnancy. My last visit with her I was in so much pain and wasn’t due for another week. I could tell my belly dropped and I wasn’t in excruciating pain after seeing her. I went into labor the next day & birthed my baby two days after I saw her. All in all, a perfectly positive experience with Dr. Polk. 10/10 recommend!
Raquel Rodriguez
After years of issues and countless doctors who just prescribed medication for my symptoms, Dr. Polk is getting down to the root problem of my issues and explains everything in a way that I understand. She is someone who is passionate about what she does and truly cares about her patients. You won’t regret seeing her. I am just thankful someone recommended her to me.
Shauni Missenheim
Dr. Polk is AMAZING! I never understood how important pelvic floor therapy was until my midwife recommended it. I started seeing Dr. Polk during pregnancy and have been seeing her postpartum. I strongly believe my delivery went so smoothly because of her! I am WAY more educated about my body and how it works! Thank you Dr. Polk for helping me achieve the goals in pregnancy, birth and now postpartum.
