During these early weeks of being a mum, it can be a complete change to how you feel with your new body. Your body will be trying to recover from potential birth trauma (episiotomy, tears and un-planned surgery) while trying feed and change the baby. It's common for mums to have to deal with pain in areas of the hips, pelvic region, lower back pain, bladder and bowel dysfunction and sometimes even prolapses. Now thats a lot to deal with!!

​

Edena therapy can help with all this. Giving you the confidence, you will be able to move pain free, space to talk openly, advise to fuel the body correctly to aid recovery. That these issues can be fixed with a bit of re-education and training the muscles supporting the areas. For C-section Mamma's theres Scar massage to help release the tissues.

 

Booking in for an appointment is the first step to your recovery and following a steady exercise programme there is no reason you can't go back to sport and the gym doing weights....just not straight away! You have a few options to choose from, if in any doubt which is the best starting point for you. Email Charlotte info@edenatherapy.com

C-section and abdominal scar massage

​

This type of massage is dedicated to helping to relieve any discomfort, tightness to the area where you have your scar. When scar tissue binds to the other tissues/muscles around the area, it can become very taught. Causing some women to feel a pulling, tugging over the scar when exercising. Also these scars can have an effect on urinary and bowel incontinence. 

 

This 90 minute session, will work into the layers of the scar and the muscles around the area. Helping to release the tugging, the feeling within the area, and in some cases can help with the appearance of your tummy. You will be taught mobility stretches and massage techniques so you can continue some self treatment at home. All women will be sent a postnatal questionnaire to complete prior to attending your appointment. 

​

All women will have their Diastasis Recti "tummy gap" assessed, and Breathing technique as part of their appointment. You will be asked to complete a postnatal questionnaire so that the therapist can understand your needs and any pregnancy injuries prior to your first treatment
