Ep. 134 3 Ways to Support Your C-section Recovery
In this episode we dive into the realities of C-sections—what they are, how they impact your body, and what you can do to support your recovery.
A C-section is major abdominal surgery that involves cutting through seven layers of tissue to reach the uterus and safely deliver your baby. Closure methods vary and can include stitches, sutures, or glue.
Many believe that if they didn’t have a vaginal birth, their pelvic floor remains unaffected—but that’s not true. C-section incisions can cause tissue restrictions, leading to discomfort and functional limitations.
This can contribute to:
✔️ Painful sex
✔️ Pelvic pain
✔️ Back pain
✔️ Numbness, sensitivity, or discomfort around the incision site
Listen in for 3 ways to support your recovery for your C section
Whether you're newly postpartum or years out from your C-section, these strategies can help improve mobility, reduce pain, and restore function.
