3 gentle movements after a Caesarean 🤍 Following

3 gentle movements after a Caesarean 🤍

Following on from last week’s Pelvic Hot Seat, here are three simple movements you can try on the edge of your bed in the early days after a C-section.

🌸 Thoracic opening
🌸 Calf raises
🌸 Gentle pelvic tilts

These movements can help encourage circulation, reduce stiffness, and gently reintroduce movement to your body after birth.

As always, listen to your body and work within what feels comfortable for you. Every recovery journey is different, and it’s important to follow the advice of your medical and care team.

The Pelvic Hot Seat 🔥

This week’s question:
What’s the best way to start moving after a C-section?

A Caesarean is major abdominal surgery and healing takes time.

But that doesn’t mean you need to stay completely still.

In those early days, gentle movement is actually really important. Things like:
• Short walks (with help/support from your care team)
• Deep belly breathing
• Gentle mobility and stretching
• Slowly reconnecting with your body

Movement helps with blood flow, healing, lung health, and stiffness while also helping you regain confidence in your body again.

The key is starting gently and allowing your body the space and time it needs to recover 🫶🏻

And next week, we’ll be showing you some gentle stretches and movements you can start with early after a C-section.

What was the most surprising part of your caesarean recovery?

Your core isn't broken. It just might need some support. 🤍

That feeling of disconnection from your tummy muscles postpartum? The leaking, the pressure, the sense that your body just doesn't feel like yours anymore?

You're not imagining it and you're not alone.

Here are some of the signs we hear most often in clinic that tell us someone's core and pelvic floor could use a little help reconnecting.

👆 Swipe through to see if any of these sound familiar.

The good news? This is exactly what our Core Connection series was designed for.
A safe, supportive space to rebuild strength, restore connection and move with confidence again, no "bouncing back" required.

This week’s question:
Can pelvic floor issues affect intimacy?

Yees! In more ways than people often realise.

Pelvic floor issues can contribute to:
• Pain with intimacy
• Changes in sensation
• Difficulty relaxing
• Erectile dysfunction
• Changes in libido or arousal

And unfortunately, the physical side of things can often start affecting confidence and relationships too.

The biggest thing we want people to know is that this is more common than many realise and it’s not something you need to just put up with alone.

This week’s question:
Can men experience pelvic floor issues too?

The answer is a big YES 🙌🏼

Men can experience:
• Bladder or bowel leakage
• Pelvic pain
• Testicular, penile or anal pain
• Pelvic floor issues after prostate surgery

The hard part is that a lot of men don’t realise pelvic floor physio is something they can access support for or they’re not sure where to start.

Pelvic floor issues aren’t just a women’s health conversation.
