Expert Postpartum Recovery At The White Hart Clinic
Pregnancy and delivery (whether vaginal or C-section) place significant demand on the pelvic floor, abdominal wall, connective tissues and pelvic joints. In the weeks and months after birth, these structures require time and appropriate rehabilitation to restore strength, coordination and support.
While some changes are expected, ongoing symptoms are not something you simply have to accept. With the right guidance, recovery can be supported safely and effectively.
Common symptoms we treat:
- Urinary leakage, particularly when coughing, sneezing or exercising
A feeling of heaviness or pressure in the vagina
Reduced pelvic floor strength or control
Pain during intercourse
Abdominal weakness or a feeling that the core is not supporting you properly
Abdominal separation (diastasis recti), which may cause bulging or doming of the tummy during movement
Pelvic girdle pain or discomfort around the hips and pelvis
Lower back pain or tailbone pain
Feeling uncomfortable returning to exercise or higher-impact activity
