C-section Recovery

What is a C-Section?

A C-section, also called a caesarean section, is a surgical procedure to deliver your baby. It can be planned in advance (elective) or performed in emergencies. During a C-section, your doctor makes a small incision in your lower abdomen, just below the bikini line, to deliver your baby safely.

Recovering from a C-Section

While both vaginal delivery and C-sections are amazing ways to bring your little one into the world, recovery from a C-section typically takes a bit longer.

Here at Physio Katy in Beckenham, we understand the importance of supporting your body after childbirth, especially after a C-section. I will support you on your journey by putting together an effective, fully tailored treatment programme that will be centred around the latest techniques and proven therapies and designed to get you and your baby back on track.

Treating C-section:

Many women experience scar tissue tightness or adhesions around their C-section scar. These can contribute to pain in your abdomen, lower back, or pelvic region. I offer manual scar release techniques and visceral manipulation to help improve scar mobility and reduce discomfort. C-section scar therapy can help to reduce common symptoms, such as numbness, swelling, pain and sensitivity, and promote cosmetic improvements after C-section.
