Postnatal Recovery

You have this wonderful little bundle. Everyone is "ooohing" and "aaahhing" over this precious miracle... Are you silently wondering if you will ever feel "normal" in your lady bits or around your midsection again...

Episiotomy or C Section Scar

Our Expert therapists are here to support your healing from a natural tear or direct incision. Using red light therapy and gentle manual skills to softened tight scar tissue and quickly reduce pain. Often there is trauma or scar tissue in the muscles of the perineum which, when never fully addressed, can lead to painful intercourse, pain with urination, defecation, fecal schmearing, etc. A C-section scars left untreated often leads to back pain, painful intercourse, and poor core engagement with daily activities or exercise.

Early Postpartum Healing

Why wait for 6-8 weeks to get your questions answered when life starts the day after your baby is born? If you are in pain from either a vaginal or C-section birth, you don’t have to heal alone. Lady Bits therapists are here to ensure you heal better and feel better. We apply the current concepts in research to ensure the best outcomes possible for your core and your pelvic floor. Come in between 2-5 weeks postpartum for faster healing. Come as you are, exhausted, sweaty, and potentially covered in spit up. We’ve got you covered. In this one hour app, we will quickly assess what’s bothering you, focusing all our gentle manual therapy and Red Light therapy in those areas that matter most.

Pelvic Floor Muscle Rehab

Your pelvic floor muscles have spent 9 months supporting constantly growing weight and pressure, and finally a huge 250% stretch in their length during delivery. It's time to gently help them recover, bring those tissues back together, get your strength back, restore sensation, and resolve any little or large leaks which may be springing from either urinary or fecal loss. 

DRA - Diastasis Recti Abdominis

Having troubles sitting up from bed? Feel like you start the day feeling “skinny” but end the day with a giant pooch? Feel like you can’t connect to your core like you used to? 

Sometimes your abdominal muscles can pull away from their attachment to the midline ligament causing a separation known as DRA. Therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular re-education and manual therapy will help you restore the always overlooked fascial components of the DRA so you can regain strength and confidence in your core. 

Pain

Carrying a growing baby both inside you or outside on your hip can take a toll on your shoulders, back, pelvis, hips, and more. Breastfeeding positions and poor posture from weakened abdominals often lead to pain. Whether you had a traumatic delivery, or other slowly worsening pain which didn't resolve after delivery- let the Lady Bits therapist make your healing journey full of support, love, encouragement and relief. 

Clogged Ducts

If your milk ducts are blocked and become swollen and very tender, we are here for you. We often see women coming in after they have already tried everything else to get that milk moving. Ultrasound, red light therapy and therapeutic massage are very effective in relieving the painful blocked ducts and restoring improved flow.  If you are feeling clogged, don’t hesitate, text our admin at 916-838-0054 so she can get you booked ASAP.

Ready to Run Yet? 

If you are woman warrior - be warned! Your body hasn't quite recovered from everything it's been through. Know your limits, return to your favorite exercise routine safely, and know how to protect your lady bits from damage as you get back into your active life. Half of all moms experience pelvic organ prolapse after delivery. Know where your pelvic floor stands before you jump back into those jumping jacks, running routine or crossfit.
