Benefits of c-section scar management
Scar Mobility
Reduce scar restrictions and adhesions sticking to internal structures like intestines and bladder. This can cause discomfort from pulling and tightness in belly. Addressing the scar’s mobility can also help reduce numbness, pain, and hypersensitivity near the scar.
Improve muscle function
Scars can interfere with core muscle function and can contribute to issues like diastasis recti. They also can impact your pelvic floor function as well as your posture.
Body Confidence
C-sections can often cause a shelf-like appearance due to the adhesions and poor mobility. Can reduce the shelf appearance as well as being able to address diastasis recti which contribute to the bulge “Mommy pouch” appearance.
Improve general pelvic function
C-sections scars are right over the bladder which means that can impact bladder function leading to issues like leakage and pain with urination. They can also impact pain with intercourse, bowel function, and general pelvic pain.
“Dr. Marlena was able to help me work through my pain I was experiencing on a daily basis with pain in my pelvis, back, and with intercourse after having my baby.”

“Pelvic PT is essential to feel confident and return to daily lifestyle after having a baby. I feel like I was able to make improvements in many aspects of pelvic health and post c-section recovery through [meetings] and home exercises.”
