C-birth Recovery: 6 Weeks and Beyond

Erin McCabe, MS, ATC, N.H. LAT
Do you experience sensitivity when bumping against a counter or wearing certain clothes? Do you feel pain when lifting your arms, lying on your belly, or leaning back? If you are a year or more post-C-section and have noticed a “shelf” forming around your incision, this class is for you. Whether your C-section was recent or years ago, this class will guide you on what steps to take now, explain the anatomy of what happened during your surgery, and help you understand why you may be experiencing pelvic pain even after delivering through your abdomen. This class is open to anyone who has had a C-section and has been cleared by their OB or midwife for physical activity. We will also discuss the psychology of healing and provide resources for support, along with a 5-minute routine for home care. Babies who are not yet mobile are welcome to attend!
