C-Section Recovery: Healing from the Inside Out

C-sections are common — but that doesn’t mean they’re simple. Whether it was planned or unexpected, a Cesarean is a major abdominal surgery. And yet, most women are sent home with little more than lifting restrictions and a check-up scheduled six weeks later.

At Health Elevated, I believe you deserve more support — and that recovery starts much sooner than we’re often told.

🌿 Early Healing Starts Right Away

You don’t have to wait for your six-week clearance to start healing. Gentle breathwork, body awareness, and positioning strategies can begin in those first few days postpartum. These early tools can:

• Reduce swelling and pain

• Promote scar mobility

• Support bowel and bladder function

• Ease tension in the shoulders, pelvis, and core

This early connection lays the foundation for long-term healing.

💪 Pelvic Floor Therapy After C-Section

Even if you didn’t have a vaginal delivery, your pelvic floor still went through pregnancy — and it's affected by the surgery itself. We often see issues like:

• Core weakness or separation (diastasis recti)

• Scar tissue tightness or numbness

• Pelvic pain or heaviness

• Leakage or bowel changes

• Pain with intimacy

Through pelvic floor therapy, we work gently but effectively to:

• Restore core strength using breath and muscle re-education

• Mobilize scar tissue (externally and internally if needed)

• Address posture and movement patterns

• Help you reconnect with your body — physically and emotionally

💡 You Don’t Have to Figure It Out Alone

Whether you’re weeks or years post-op, it’s never too late to begin healing.

At Health Elevated, I offer one-on-one, hands-on care in a calm, supportive environment. My goal is to help you move from “just getting by” to truly feeling strong, confident, and comfortable in your body again.
