FISIOTERAPIA APLICADA NO PROCESSO CICATRICIAL DE CESÁREAS: REVISÃO DA LITERATURA

Abstract

Physiotherapy plays an important role in the recovery process after a cesarean sec tion, where it works by promoting an adequate healing process, reducing all discomfort, aiming at elasticity, preventing a hypertrophic scar and mainly, improving the physical function of patients. It is important that physiotherapy is personalized according to individual needs and carried out as soon as possible, as early initiation of physiotherapy and adherence to the guidelines provided are essential for a successful recovery after a cesarean section. In this process, we can use massage and tissue mobilization techniques, where the application of gentle mas sages and mobilization techniques will help reduce tension in scar tissues, promoting blood circulation and helping to break down adhesions that may form during the process. of healing. In conjunction with manual therapies, we can use physical therapeutic resources, where the physiotherapist will work, for example, with low-intensity laser therapy, which can accelerate the healing process, reduce inflammation and alleviate discomfort in the area. of the incision. Other physical modalities, such as therapeutic ultrasound and electrotherapy, can also be applied to promote healing and reduce pain.
