childbirth<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pregnancy and childbirth place significant physical demands on the body. After giving birth, you may notice changes in pelvic floor function, abdominal strength, back or pelvic comfort, general fitness and confidence with exercise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Postnatal rehabilitation provides physiotherapy support during recovery following either vaginal or caesarean birth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment is based on your individual symptoms, type of delivery, stage of recovery and the activities you would like to return to. The aim is not to rush recovery, but to gradually rebuild strength, movement and confidence while addressing any symptoms that remain after childbirth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What is postnatal

consent. You can decline or stop an internal assessment at any time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What rehabilitation may include<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The programme depends on what is identified during your assessment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Pelvic floor rehabilitation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pregnancy and childbirth can affect pelvic floor strength and coordination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment may focus on:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight:

rehabilitation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The abdominal muscles change considerably during pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Postnatal rehabilitation may gradually rebuild:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abdominal control<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"

aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Control during exercise<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exercises can progress from simple movements towards more demanding functional or gym-based activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>General strengthening<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking after a baby involves repeated lifting, carrying, bending and getting up from different positions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strengthening may therefore involve:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Legs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hips<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:

400;\">Trunk muscles<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The programme can gradually become more specific to your normal activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Mobility exercises<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stiffness may develop around the back, hips, pelvis or upper body during pregnancy and the early postnatal period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Appropriate mobility exercises can help restore comfortable movement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Scar rehabilitation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where appropriate after wound healing, physiotherapy may address discomfort or restricted movement associated with a caesarean or perineal scar.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Home exercise programme<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may receive a manageable programme to continue between appointments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exercises can be updated as your strength and symptoms change.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Pelvic floor recovery after childbirth<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pelvic floor supports the bladder, bowel and pelvic organs and contributes to control during movement and exercise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pregnancy itself places additional load on these muscles, and childbirth can place further demand on them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may notice:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight:

aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty relaxing the muscles<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Postnatal pelvic floor rehabilitation is not simply about performing as many contractions as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The muscles need both strength and the ability to relax normally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your programme should reflect what your pelvic floor actually needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Urinary leakage after childbirth<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Urinary leakage is common after pregnancy and childbirth, but it does not have to be accepted as something you simply live with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leakage may occur during:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coughing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span

exercise<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment may involve pelvic floor muscle training alongside breathing, pressure management and gradual return to more demanding activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goal is to build enough strength and coordination for the situations in which leakage occurs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Urgency and bladder symptoms<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people experience a sudden need to pass urine or begin visiting the toilet more frequently after childbirth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An assessment may look at:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pelvic floor control<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fluid intake<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toilet

400;\">Treatment may combine pelvic floor rehabilitation with bladder-management strategies where appropriate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Bowel-control symptoms<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Changes in bowel control can sometimes occur after childbirth, particularly following more significant perineal injury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms may include difficulty controlling:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wind<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"

movements<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These symptoms are important to discuss rather than ignoring because they feel difficult or embarrassing to mention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pelvic floor assessment and rehabilitation may be appropriate, and additional specialist medical assessment may sometimes be required.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Pelvic heaviness and prolapse symptoms<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people experience a sensation of:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li

separation<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During pregnancy, the abdominal wall stretches to accommodate the growing baby.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After birth, some separation between the abdominal muscles may remain for a period of time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is often referred to as diastasis recti.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rehabilitation focuses less on trying to achieve a particular gap measurement and more on restoring useful abdominal

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If sexual activity remains painful, pelvic health physiotherapy may assess whether pelvic floor tension, scar sensitivity or another physical factor is contributing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Persistent pain should not simply be accepted as a normal part of postnatal recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Fatigue and recovery<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The postnatal period can involve interrupted sleep, feeding and significant changes to daily routine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fatigue can affect how much exercise is realistic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than trying to complete a full programme regardless of energy, rehabilitation may be adjusted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight:

temporary adjustments may also be useful during the transition back to work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Returning to sport<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Returning to sport generally requires more than simply being comfortable during everyday activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the sport, later rehabilitation may

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sport-specific drills<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The physical demands of the sport should guide the later stages of rehabilitation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Postnatal rehabilitation after more than one pregnancy<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical recovery may feel different after each pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may notice:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More persistent

had.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is still possible to work on strength, fitness and pelvic floor function even when symptoms have been present for some time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>It is not too late for postnatal rehabilitation<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Postnatal physiotherapy is not limited to the first few weeks or months
