C-SECTION SCAR REHABILITATION
What is it?
A Cesarean section is major abdominal surgery, and proper rehabilitation is essential for optimal recovery. After a C-section, scar tissue can sometimes restrict movement, cause discomfort, or contribute to issues like lower back or pelvic pain. Physiotherapy supports healing by promoting scar mobility, restoring core and pelvic floor strength, and addressing any postural or movement changes that may have developed during or after pregnancy.
What to expect in physiotherapy
Your physiotherapist will gently assess the mobility of your C-section scar, core activation, and pelvic floor function. Treatment may include scar tissue mobilization, desensitization techniques, breathing and core retraining, posture correction, and progressive strengthening. Education on safe movement, lifting, and returning to activity is also provided to ensure your recovery is smooth, confident, and complete.
