💭If you’ve ever thought: “I must be back at square one”, this post is for you.

As I’m getting prepped for another treatment day tomorrow, I’m reflecting on some important discussions I had with clients throughout last week. Thought these would be helpful to share for anyone so be sure to scroll through 🌱

After 10+ years as a physiotherapist, I can tell you this:
✨ Flare-ups happen
✨ Progress is rarely linear
✨ You’re probably doing better than you think

📌 Save this for the next time you’re feeling frustrated with where you are in your recovery or health journey

And if you need, I’m accepting new clients for mobile physio - reach out to book an appointment 💚

Sensitivity, altered feeling, and/or pain in your cesarean scar? ⚡️ Although super common, you do not just have to simply live with it! You’ll want to save this post & read on if you’ve had a c-section!

There are 7 layers of tissue that were involved in the surgery. Simply put, because of the incision lots of ways for things to get agitated, irritated, & altered. Nerves need ample time for re-growth, and scar tissue and adhesion formation between tissue layers are another factor impacting sensation & overall mobility.

Here’s how to help improve sensitivity & begin improving your ability to get movement in the scar itself:
👉🏼You’ll want to begin AROUND the scar, and not directly over it at first. ⛔️Wait until the incision is fully healed to do this right over the scar to avoid infection.
✨Use soft, gentle materials & progress to more rough textures as sensitivity and sensation improves.
✅For example, use a silk sheet or soft cotton ball to start. Gently move across the skin all around your scar for 2-3 minutes, working up to 5 minutes a day. ➡️Once you become comfortable with these textures and it feels more “normal”, move on to rougher textures such as a towel, toothbrush, or scouring sponge. Again, begin around the scar at first before right over it.

What will this help with?
✨Helps the nervous system heal & recognize these sensations as “normal” again
✨Helps decrease pain, burning, itching & any other “weird” sensations you may be feeling in the area
✨Stimulates & improves nerve regeneration - remember these things were cut through during surgery and need time to heal & regrow!
✨Works towards decreasing any potential fear associated with touching the area
✨Allows you to begin reconnecting with the area

Were you given this info if you had a belly birth? Let me know in the comments! 💕
& remember, it’s NEVER too late to work on your scar - reach out if you have questions!

Signs you may have TENSION in your pelvic floor ⚡️
A “tight” pelvic floor does not necessarily mean a strong one! Above are some of the things to keep a look out for. ✅We want our pelvic floor muscles (just like any other muscle group) to be able to contract with the appropriate force when needed, coordinate proper timing, AND relax fully at the end of a contraction.

An interesting finding 📝: the majority of women who experience low back pain, also report pelvic floor dysfunction (like pain or incontinence). The majority are also found to have OVERACTIVITY rather than just weakness of the pelvic floor. An aside - I generally find the two going hand-in-hand. Clinically when I see a client that has overactivity/tension, it then indirectly affects strength as well!

🧐Okay, so how do we combat this and learn to relax the pelvic floor? Having an internal assessment with a pelvic floor physiotherapist or other provider is the gold standard to determine & provide guidance on what would be best for you. ✨Stay tuned for my next post where I’ll go over some general strategies & some of my favourites to try that may be helpful!

Do you experience any of these symptoms? Do any of them surprise you? 🙋🏻‍♀️Let me know!
