Myofascial release

The study involves women in both groups receiving myofascial release technique for twenty minutes three times per week for eight weeks. The technique requires the patient's skin to be dry and not oily, and all techniques must be applied at the barrier of tissue resistance. The technique involves gentle, sustained pressure held at the barrier for at least five minutes to allow the patient to respond to the treatment and relax. The technique involves skin stretching and desensitization around the scar, using up and down, side-to-side, and circular maneuvers.

OTHER

Deep friction massage

Women in both groups (C) will receive a deep friction massage three times a week for eight weeks, applying a fingertip pad perpendicularly to post-cesarean scar tissue, moving across the band and back-and-forth motion along the scar tissue's length.

OTHER

Routine daily scar care advices

Each woman in all groups (A, B, and C) will receive full instructions for daily post-cesarean-section scar care. Weekly revision for post-cesarean-section scar care will conduct by the researcher
