I look forward to the day when all moms who’ve had a C-section are given the information to do scar massage as part of their regular rehab. Scars in their very nature are more dense, thick and less stretchy than other tissue, which can get stuck and tacked down..

If you’re postpartum, and you’re trying to heal your abdominal separation AKA Diastasis Recti , having the lower part of your abdomen, be stuck and tacked down, can absolutely prevent you from fully healing.

I recommend C-section moms Continue to do scar massage their entire first year of postpartum. It’s never too late to start. If you’re more than a year postpartum, you can absolutely positively affect and change your scar. It just might take a little bit more strategy and deeper massage..

This is one of many holistic ways to treat diastasis recti. Healing your body postpartum takes more than just spot treating. look at your whole both above and below your abdomen to see how that separation is being affected.

If you want to know how to check yourself for DR or know what type of diastasis you have as well as specific strategies to heal it grab my free guide.😘

The majority of my postpartum training clients when we start working together have a chronically tight or also called a hypertonic pelvic floor. While it’s awesome to work with a pelvic floor PT that learn more nuanced info about your pelvic floor patterns there’s a lot you can do with mobility and self massage to help improve symptoms.

Some signs that you have a chronically type pelvic floor include urinary incontinence, or difficulty starting urinating, burning like you have a UTI but you know you don’t, constipation, pelvic back or hip pain, inability to get your diastasis recti to heal.

Incorporating pelvic floor release work daily will make a huge difference! I always recommend doing some pelvic floor release both before working out as well as after a really strenuous strength training or running and hiking event.

there can be lots of contributing factors for having a tight pelvic floor however pregnancy there’s so much rapid weights and posture shifts as well as as birth, which can be a traumatic event for those muscles. Lots of women are led to believe you have a loose pelvic floor after giving birth vaginally when in fact, the majority have a chronically tight pelvic floor due to some major events that happened to those muscles😜

When you have a muscle that can both lengthen and release as well as contract and activate that that’s when you get healthy function and this sling of muscle muscles in your pelvic floor can do their job

Some is better than none and in this case with mobility of your back neck and shoulders. Give yourself two minutes and it can make all the difference.

When I start working with a new training client, we always talk about their why. What’s their bigger reason for choosing to do rehab postpartum. there can be lots of reasons and it’s totally valid to want to get your belly flat and toned again however there’s usually a deeper Y and it has to do with our emotions and our mental well-being.

Exercise is one of the best mood boosters and stabilizers. When you are physically stronger, you feel more confident you are more capable and you can be a calmer patient Mom who’s actually enjoying the journey.
