C-SECTION REHAB
WHEN TO START
In your second week post-op start with Exercise One and Two only.
PRESENTLY, C-SECTIONS ARE recognised as a fairly routine and common procedure with minimal risk to both mother and baby. However, your body has still undergone major abdominal surgery and as a result, what you do and when you do postnatal exercise is critical to your recovery.
The following exercises are safe to do early on, provided you work within your pain or discomfort limits. This means that you stop at a level before you feel any pain and do not push yourself.
1 THE ZIP
This exercise gently starts activating your pelvic floor muscles again by activating the nerve stimulation to them. This exercise is not designed to be rigorous or painful so work within your pain boundaries.
WHAT TO DO
