In this solo episode Dr. Aimee Bailey discusses why it is vital to meet with a pelvic health PT after a C-section, even if you don’t have any symptoms.

As a mother of 3 having undergone 2 C-sections herself, Dr. Aimee is well-acquainted with how the body needs readjustment after a C-section. She explains why getting help from a pelvic health PT is great for reconnecting your brain with your pelvic floor, improving your now altered breathing pattern, retraining your pelvis, and adapting to a sensitive abdomen.

Tune in to find out why seeing a pelvic health PT after a C-section is the extra postpartum self care you truly need to start your new life healthily.
