Did you end up having an emergency c-section? A planned c-section? If you are among the one third of women in Canada that give birth via c-section that feel lost on how to best recover post c-section you are not alone.

During a c-section, your surgeon cuts through 7 layers of tissue! It is no wonder that a lot of women post c-section birth experience pain and reduced movement along the incision site that affect daily activities such as walking or lifting your baby, increased feelings of trauma and stress, and internal adhesions that cause pain with periods and/or ovulation post c-section (yes the c-section scar can get stuck to your organs!). A lot of women are also surprised that they feel a pulling session or pain not just along the incision site, but also below or above it, as aforementioned there can be internal scar tissue that is not visible to the eye. There is also a portion of women after a c-section that will feel bladder urgency or pain with s*x, as the pelvic floor (aka muscles down there) can tighten up as a protective response post c-section.

Cesarean scar release therapy uses The Dolphin Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS) Device, which has been approved for use by the FDA and Health Canada. This unit applies a micro-current along the scar area, which helps speed up the healing process, improve sensation, and decrease pain and tightness along the scar. There is minimal pain during and after the session.

The cycle of pelvic pain! When you feel stressed or anxious, the pelvic floor is a PROTECTIVE muscle so it can cause the pelvic floor to tense up. This can then drive pelvic pain causing pain with s*x, urge incontinence (going to the bathroom frequently), p***c pain, and deep hip pain!
