Introduction
Understanding Postpartum Recovery
After childbirth, your body needs time and support to recover. Pregnancy and delivery can place considerable stress on the pelvic floor muscles, abdominal wall, hips, spine, and surrounding tissues. Some women may experience urinary leakage, pelvic pain, abdominal separation, lower back pain, pelvic pressure, painful intercourse, or difficulty returning to exercise.
Postpartum physiotherapy can help address these concerns while supporting a gradual and safe return to normal activities. Whether you had a vaginal delivery or C-section, individualised rehabilitation can help restore pelvic floor and core function.
At IAM Physiotherapy Clinic in Newmarket, our experienced pelvic health physiotherapists assess your individual needs and create a personalised postpartum rehabilitation program. Treatment may include pelvic floor rehabilitation, core strengthening, scar tissue management, posture correction, breathing exercises, mobility work, and guidance for safely returning to exercise.
We proudly support new mothers across Newmarket, Aurora, Bradford, East Gwillimbury, Richmond Hill, and York Region, providing compassionate and evidence-based postpartum physiotherapy focused on long-term recovery and improved quality of life.
Causes
Common Postpartum Conditions We Treat
Our pelvic floor physiotherapists in Newmarket help women recover from a wide range of pregnancy- and childbirth-related conditions.
- Postpartum Pelvic Floor Weakness
Pregnancy and childbirth can weaken or alter the coordination of the pelvic floor muscles, affecting bladder control, pelvic support, and core stability.
- Urinary Incontinence
Urine leakage while coughing, sneezing, laughing, lifting, or exercising can occur after childbirth and may improve with appropriate pelvic floor rehabilitation.
- Diastasis Recti
Separation or stretching of the abdominal muscles during pregnancy can affect core stability, posture, and abdominal strength.
- Postpartum Pelvic Pain
Pain around the pelvis, hips, lower back, or perineal region may persist after delivery and can affect movement and daily activities.
- C-Section Recovery
Physiotherapy can support recovery following a C-section by addressing abdominal strength, mobility, posture, scar tissue, and gradual return to activity.
- Perineal Pain & Scar Tissue
Tears, episiotomies, and tissue changes following vaginal delivery may contribute to discomfort and restricted tissue mobility.
- Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Changes in pelvic floor support after pregnancy and childbirth may contribute to pelvic heaviness, pressure, or a bulging sensation.
- Pain During Intercourse
Pelvic floor muscle tension, scar tissue, hormonal changes, and postpartum tissue sensitivity may contribute to painful intercourse.
