Cesarean recovery
C-Section Recovery Treatment
C-section is major abdominal surgery — and your body deserves real rehab. From scar mobilization to pelvic floor and core restoration, we help you heal fully and return to the activities you love.
Symptoms
What c-section recovery can feel like.
- Scar that feels tight, pulling, or 'stuck'
- Numbness or hypersensitivity around the incision
- Lower back, hip, or pelvic pain since surgery
- A core that feels weak, separated, or 'off'
- Bladder leaks or pelvic floor symptoms
- Pain with intercourse or with certain movements
- A 'shelf' or pouch above the scar
Why it happens
Common causes & contributors.
- Surgical scar tissue can adhere to underlying tissues, restricting movement.
- Pregnancy stretches the abdominal wall regardless of delivery method.
- The pelvic floor was loaded for 9 months even without vaginal delivery.
- Pain medication and decreased movement post-surgery affect core re-engagement.
- Many women aren't given any rehab after major surgery — we change that.
