Understanding Post-Partum Recovery
Post-partum recovery is a crucial period for new mothers. After childbirth, your body undergoes significant changes as it heals and adjusts. This period, often referred to as the “fourth trimester,” can be marked by a variety of physical and emotional challenges, including:
- Pelvic floor weakness
- Abdominal separation (diastasis recti)
- Back and pelvic pain
- Changes in posture
- Fatigue and muscle weakness
- Emotional stress and anxiety
Recognizing these challenges, our goal at Marlinde de Vries Physiotherapy is to provide a supportive environment where you can address these issues effectively and holistically.
