Part 4 of my πŸ”¦ spotlight on C-Section scars πŸ”¦

This one is a short but important message!

πŸ‘‰ Although it may sound obvious, you need to think about what you are putting into your body. Even more so when you have been through something as major as a caesarean section!

Tissue healing really benefits from what you are taking in! ✨

Good water intake and nutritious food both play a crucial role.

Protein πŸ—, β€˜good’ fats πŸ₯‘, vitamins πŸ₯¦, and minerals πŸ₯š all have a vital role to play in scar healing.

It sounds very simple, but it can make a massive difference.

As you might already know, I am lucky enough to be a mummy to 3 boys. We had such a funny conversation the other day...

(Excuse the strange spellings coming up, Facebook is definitely not as accepting of these words as I am πŸ˜†)

My boys all know what I do for a living; I am very open about it.

I got a great question from one of them a couple of weeks ago -

β€˜Mummy, because you’ve had babies, is your v. really stretched?’.

πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…

(It was sooo funny. And you know me, I didn't shy away from the answer!!)

I replied, β€˜Actually, I have had some challenges after having babies, yes. But I have been able to heal and get stronger, and I am ok now. I can weightlift, I can run, I can do anything I want to!’.

I want my boys to know that they can ask me ANY question about bodies (even though this leads to some hilarious conversations sometimes πŸ˜‚).

I’ve been getting a few enquiries lately about whether I am registered with insurance companies, like Bupa, Aviva, etc.

The answer is that no, I’m not. Let me explain why.

πŸ‘‰ The health insurance fees for physios are very low, in general.

πŸ‘‰ They are fees aimed at musculoskeletal physiotherapists - I am a specialist pelvic physio with many years of experience and advanced expertise in my field.

πŸ‘‰ Health insurance fees are also based on a short appointment time of about 40 mins, and as I talk about often, my appointments are a lot longer than that, and are very thorough.

πŸ‘‰ Unfortunately, it would just not be viable for me to run my clinic taking these low fees paid by healthcare insurance providers, especially considering my level of knowledge and expertise as a specialist.

I hope that explains why I choose not to register.

My sole priority is always providing the very best care for my patients, and insurance fees just wouldn't support that approach.

In the pelvic health world, we've got to strike the right balance between actually helping women and hindering them.

Why?

Because it's so easy to fall into the trap of 'fault-finding' when assessing a pelvic floor issue.

(This can certainly happen with a physiotherapist who is less experienced or new to the pelvic floor speciality, and perhaps doesn't trust their own judgement enough.)

I've been around long enough to have treated literally hundreds and hundreds of women, and I know that intensive treatment / loads of appointments isn't always the right approach. In fact, in some cases, it can hinder someone's progress and increase their fear about what's going on in their body.

What if your patients got better with minimal treatment, or even with little/no intervention at all….?

Everyone is different!

Spotlight on C-Sections scars! πŸ”¦

>> Part 3 - Caesarean Sections & Abdominal Muscles

Here are a few things you need to know about how the abdominal muscles are involved in C-section scar healing...

πŸ‘‰ While I am assessing a C-Section scar, I will also assess the muscles of the abdominal wall.

πŸ‘‰ I'm checking for diastasis recti, linea alba function, and abdominal strength.

πŸ‘‰ Having a strong abdominal wall, and building strength (as needed) is really important in scar healing.

πŸ‘‰ In my experience women often under load their abdominal wall postnatally. So many are scared (even terrified!) to exercise and they move with extreme caution. That really doesn’t help the situation.

There is so much rubbish out there - especially on social media! Blanket statements are often said that have NO evidence underpinning them. The fear mongering drives me absolutely mental! 😑

I know the feeling of being desperate to get back to exercising after having a baby. I felt like that after having all three of my boys!

Exercise supports mental health, as well as providing a physical release and a sense of achievement - all things that could do with a bit of a boost when you are in the haze of looking after a baby! πŸ‘Ά

If you're ready to get back in the gym or out on the track or pitch after having a baby, but you're nervous about your pelvic floor, get in touch.

I can support you in returning to exercising safely.

Are you a physiotherapist working in or moving into the pelvic floor space?

I've been a specialist pelvic physiotherapist for many years, and have built up a really solid knowledge base and level of expertise.

I love to see new practitioners coming into this speciality; women need this support!

And if I have one bit of advice to pass on, it would be this...

Always be willing to grow and learn.

This is an area of physio that is changing and evolving ALL the time. It is our job to stay open-minded, keep abreast of best practice, but to also think outside the box with your patients. And trust your intuition!

I'm continuing on with my 'C-section scars' posts, to help educate about scars and healing after a caesarean section.

This post is a short and sweet! 😊

But it addresses a question I get asked a lot: do we still need to consider the pelvic floor, even when childbirth ends in a c-section?

The answer is yes - possibly...

When women present to me having had a section, I will often suggest an assessment of their pelvic floor as well as their scar / abdominal area.

Here's why:

πŸ‘‰ I see a lot of women who are tight in their pelvic floor muscles

πŸ‘‰ This tightness can often feed into scar pain and tightness in the abdominal area

Everything is interlinked!

So, yes, it is always worth checking the pelvic floor, even if you didn't have a vgnal delivery.

(In my next C-section post, I am going to talk more about the abdominal muscles...)
