C-Section Recovery

A C-section delivery can be a life-saving and important part of bringing your baby into the world. However, C-section scar tissue and adhesions can sometimes lead to pain, tightness, or limitations in movement during postpartum recovery.

At Built to Move Physical Therapy and Wellness, we provide post-C-section rehabilitation to help support healing and restore function. Treatment may include scar tissue mobilization, manual therapy, myofascial release, and targeted strengthening for the core and pelvic floor muscles.

Gentle C-section scar mobilization can often begin around 4 weeks postpartum, with more advanced treatment typically starting 6–8 weeks after delivery. Addressing scar tissue helps improve tissue mobility, reduce adhesions, decrease pain, and support a stronger return to activity.

If you’ve had a C-section and want support with postpartum recovery, pelvic floor physical therapy at Built to Move can help you move and feel better. Contact us today to learn more about our specialized postpartum physical therapy services.
