C Section Recovery Programme

Have you had a C section, hysterectomy or other abdominal intervention?

Then this is the perfect tailored programme to aid your core and abdominal healing.

Did you know around 30% of births are now by c-section? That's a lot of ladies that have experienced abdominal surgery.

This Recovery Programme includes stretch, core work and strength exercises to help aid the healing of the abdomen. we work through your breathing, reconnecting with the core and working through any other pain sites, niggles or complications from pregnancy. This full body approach is truly unique to you.

At your first session we will talk through lots of different elements, scar tenderness, any exercises you may have begun, complications during recovery, posture, pain sites etc. This will help to create a plan for you.

Then we can set to work, at a pace that suits you. Some clients like to start off with a weekly appointment, others prefer to work on their plan at home and then check in every month for that plan to change as you progress.

Alongside this Recovery Programme, we often encourage clients to take up one of our Pilates classes., either face to face, via zoom or online in our @home programme. These can help to utilise the abdominal muscles more efficiently and regain strength.

This treatment is suitable for women who have experienced C-sections, hysterectomy and other gynaecological or female health surgery where abdominal incisions have been made. Keri is fully trained in working with hysterectomy clients as well as C-sections.

You must be a minimum of 6 weeks post surgery.

This isn't just about the 'scar' but a full body approach to post surgery strength, fitness, wellbeing as well as posture, alignment and reconnection.

For all of my postnatal classes I do an ‘ab check’ for diastasis recti and ensure that the girls are working at the correct level and progressing.
