A C-section isn’t “just” a birth.
It’s major abdominal surgery.
Seven layers are involved. And while the skin may look healed, the deeper layers are still adapting long after those first 6 weeks.
Scar tissue can influence:
• Core activation
• Breathing mechanics
• Pelvic floor coordination
• Hip and low back tension
• That “something just feels off” sensation
If you’re months (or even years) postpartum and still experiencing discomfort, weakness, or disconnect — it doesn’t mean you’re failing at recovery.
Sometimes it simply means your scar hasn’t been assessed.
This is something I evaluate with every C-section client.
If you’ve never had your scar evaluated, it might be worth exploring.
