Is C-Section Rehab in Rome, GA Right for You?

C-Section Rehab is designed specifically for new mothers struggling with:

• Pain, tightness, or discomfort along the C-section incision line
• Abdominal muscle separation or weakness
• Pelvic, tailbone, or low back pain
• Painful intercourse Incontinence or leaking issues
• Difficulty sitting, standing, walking, etc.
• Scar tissue discomfort
• Persistent cramping or spasms

If you are dealing with any of the above symptoms following your C-section, pelvic floor physical therapy can help provide relief.

Here’s How C-Section Rehab Works

C-Section Rehab utilizes techniques like massage, joint mobilization, neuromuscular re-education, and therapeutic exercises tailored to your postpartum healing needs. We focus on relieving discomfort while also re-training and strengthening the muscles impacted during pregnancy and childbirth. This includes:

• Core and pelvic floor: Pregnancy can weaken or separate these muscles leading to issues like abdominal separation and pelvic organ prolapse. We help strengthen and properly reposition internal structures.
• Back and hips: Changes in posture/alignment from pregnancy weight gain, delivery trauma, breastfeeding, etc. often contribute to low back and hip pain. We help stabilize and decompress painful joints.
• Scar tissue: We help minimize scar tissue buildup and adhesions for less restriction and discomfort.
• Nerves and connective tissue: For nerve pain/irritation and tissue tightness causing painful spasms and cramping, we utilize nerve glides and myofascial techniques.

While relief from pain is the priority, we also focus on ensuring every mother can return to her life activities comfortably. We help you lift/play with your baby, sit comfortably to bond during feeding times, resume/enjoy sex life activities when ready, exercise and move properly, and much more.No two delivery experiences are exactly alike, so your C-Section Rehab program will be customized based on your specific case history and areas of impairment.

Frequently Asked Questions about C-Section Rehab:

Does C-Section Rehab hurt?
While parts of pelvic rehab can be moderately uncomfortable initially, our skilled therapists only apply pressures and forces your body can handle at that time while carefully monitoring your pain signals. Discomfort levels should decrease as your tissues get re-conditioned. Speak up any time something is too painful so we can adjust our approach!

What happens during a C-Section Rehab session?
We begin by discussing your current symptoms, daily activities, goals for therapy, and any questions. Next we’ll assess posture, movement patterns, strength, flexibility, scar mobility, nerve function, etc. to identify impairments causing dysfunction. You’ll remain fully clothed throughout. Finally, we’ll begin hands-on treatment utilizing modalities tailored to your unique case. We also provide at-home exercises and lifestyle advice to speed your progress.

What if I feel too much pain during a session?
Communicate with your therapist so we can immediately adjust our techniques. Some temporary soreness is common as we work out restrictions, but sharp or intolerable pain is not okay. We’ll alter our force, direction, area of focus, or modalities so you remain comfortable enough to benefit from the full session and make progress.
