Hi, I am a twenty-five-year-old who has undergone a total of five different abdominal surgeries. I underwent a hernia repair, 3 laparoscopies, and one major uterus suspension surgery. My last surgery was three months back and I have been exercising since then.
I have been suffering from severe abdominal pain for the past few days. I experience different types of pain in different areas. I have a continuous pain that stays on my right side. Could all this be due to the scar tissue? Can scar tissue cause pain?
My best friend asked me to visit a physiotherapy clinic in Burlington and undergo an adhesion treatment. Is this treatment effective? Is there anybody over here who has undergone a treatment before? How was your experience? Please share!

Interesting how they omitted the fact that you would probably need to get run over by a truck to get the same results on human sized tissues… Sounds like a totally reasonable recovery activity
Exactly. This is just one issue we have with “fascia” and “adhesion” gurus who claim they can actually do anything about these issues (…despite the fact that the problems they diagnose haven’t even been shown to exist at all, much less correlate with pain). [/QUOTE]
This is a unique situation. You almost certainly have a significant amount of intra-abdominal adhesions after your numerous abdominal surgeries.
No, a physiotherapist can absolutely not manually treat these adhesions. In fact, there is an actual surgical procedure necessary to treat these if they’re causing problems, called a Lysis of Adhesions.
