Up to half of all women experience weakness in both the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor muscles after pregnancy and up to a third still have a tummy gap at eight weeks post-birth. This can cause instability or poor core strength leading to women developing pelvic or back pain or bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction. These conditions should not be something you should just put up with as a result of having a baby.
Our Osteopath, Jacqs Ball, can prescribe a specific post pregnancy exercise plan to get your pelvic floor back into shape and help with any instability in your lumbar spine and pelvis due to pregnancy or as an osteopath can alleviate the restriction of scar tissue once your c-section scar has healed.
