Postpartum Rehab: Why Your Body Deserves Recovery After Baby

Congratulations on your new baby! Welcoming a little one into your life brings joy, love — and major changes to your body. Whether you delivered vaginally or via C-section, pregnancy and childbirth place significant stress on your core, pelvic floor, and overall movement patterns. Many new moms are surprised by how unfamiliar their body can feel postpartum.

If you’re experiencing discomfort, weakness, or simply feeling disconnected from your body, postpartum rehabilitation can play a powerful role in your recovery.

Why Postpartum Rehab Matters

During pregnancy, your core and pelvic floor adapt to growing and supporting your baby. After delivery, it’s common to notice:

  • Core weakness

  • Pelvic pain

  • Back or hip pain

  • Diastasis recti

  • Scar discomfort (C-section or perineal tearing)

  • Incontinence or prolapse symptoms

  • Loss of confidence returning to exercise

This stage of life can feel overwhelming — but you don’t need to navigate recovery alone.

Postpartum rehab helps you safely reconnect with your core and pelvic floor, rebuild strength, and return to movement with confidence. With guidance from trained professionals, you can prevent injury, manage symptoms, and feel strong again.

What Postpartum Rehab Can Help With

A well-structured postpartum rehabilitation program can support you through:

✓ Core and pelvic floor retraining

Learn how to properly activate and coordinate the muscles affected by pregnancy.

✓ Safe exercise progression

Avoid jumping back into workouts too quickly and reduce the risk of injury.

✓ Postpartum concerns

Including:

  • Diastasis recti

  • Incontinence

  • Pelvic organ prolapse

  • Low back pain

  • Hip or pelvic pain

✓ Scar management

Support for C-section or perineal scars to improve mobility and reduce discomfort.
