Common concerns after birth.
Birth, whether vaginal or by C-section, places significant demands on the pelvic floor and core. Leaking, pain, heaviness, or a gap in the abdominal muscles are common after having a baby. They are also very treatable.
A separation of the abdominal muscles is common after pregnancy. Treatment focuses on breath, pressure management, and progressive core strengthening.
Bladder or bowel leakage after birth is common, and it is not something you have to live with. Strength, coordination, and habits can all be retrained.
Scar tissue from a C-section or tearing can be tender, tight, or numb, and can affect movement and intimacy. Scar tissue mobilization is a core part of postpartum care.
Returning to intimacy can be uncomfortable. Healing tissues, hormonal changes while breastfeeding, and pelvic floor tension can all play a part, and all can be addressed.
Getting back to running, lifting, or your favorite workout is a great goal. We build a progressive plan so your pelvic floor and core are ready for the load.
