Restore Strength After Birth | Postpartum Pelvic Floor Physio Burnaby | Ova

If your body still doesn't feel like yours after having a baby, leaking, weakness, back pain, or a core that just isn't connecting, this is not something you have to push through alone. 🤍 Postpartum rehabilitation is one of the most important and most overlooked parts of recovery after birth. In this video, our team explains exactly what happens to your pelvic floor and deep core during pregnancy and childbirth, and how physiotherapy helps you restore strength, stability, and confidence in your body. —— ✨ WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS VIDEO ➡️ What the pelvic floor and deep core system actually are — how the pelvic floor, diaphragm, Transversus Abdominus, and multifidi work together as one unit ➡️ How pregnancy and childbirth stretch, weaken, and disrupt this deep core system — and why it often doesn't recover fully on its own ➡️ Why urinary leakage when you laugh, cough, or exercise is common after birth but never normal — and what to do about it ➡️ What diastasis recti is, how to know if you have it, and why standard gym workouts can make it worse if started too early ➡️ How to rebuild your core from the inside out — starting with the Transversus Abdominus before any superficial abdominal work ➡️ Why pelvic floor physiotherapy is essential after both vaginal delivery and C-section births ➡️ How biofeedback helps new mothers reconnect with and retrain their pelvic floor and deep core effectively ➡️ How a personalized postpartum assessment identifies pelvic floor dysfunction, prolapse risk, scar tension, and core coordination changes ➡️ Why delaying rehabilitation increases the risk of long-term incontinence, prolapse, chronic pain, and instability ➡️ Why it is never too late — postpartum rehabilitation delivers real results months or even years after birth —— 💡 DID YOU KNOW? Most new mothers are cleared for exercise at six weeks postpartum with little to no guidance on what that actually means for their pelvic floor and deep core. The reality is that pregnancy alone — regardless of how you gave birth — significantly changes how these muscles function. Without targeted rehabilitation, many women unknowingly compensate with the wrong muscles, which can lead to ongoing leakage, back pain, pelvic pain, and poor core stability that persists for years. A proper postpartum assessment changes everything — it gives you a clear picture of where your body actually is, not just where you hope it is. —— 🌸 ABOUT OVA WOMEN'S HEALTH Ova Women's Health is a pelvic floor physiotherapy clinic in Burnaby, BC, specializing in sexual pain, chronic pelvic pain, pregnancy and postpartum recovery, and bladder and bowel health.
