When a laboring mom has a c-section, there is already a flood of hormones. Heightened emotions, possible adrenal, cortisol and other bio-chemical factors contribute to post-surgery scar formation.
Physiotherapy should be an important part of recovery for your c-section recovery. If you are feeling pulling from your scar 6 weeks or more after your c-section or if you are taking a long time to get to the point where you can move without pain, you need to request an appointment with CN Physiotherapy.
Our highly skilled Ottawa, ON physiotherapists can treat adhesions and scars and help you move like you used to through scar mobilization therapy. Manual therapy and gentle stretching will start to untangle the mechanical stress, relieve the systems most burdened, and feed the tissues to allow cellular repair. Connective tissues will reorganize with the right technique. Gently releasing the tension allows the body to self correct. These adhesions impact multiple systems and create symptoms that may be very far from the original trauma, but the damage can be corrected with consistent physiotherapy treatments over time.
The professionals at CN Physiotherapy are manual physiotherapy experts trained to help you properly regain your joint mobility, decrease pain, increase their strength, and improve your functional mobility. Our Ottawa, ON physiotherapists have the training, skills, experience and credentials to get your patients out of pain and back to enjoying the activities you love!
