Consultation

Postpartum physiotherapy

Pregnancy and birth change the abdomen, the pelvic floor and how you move. Postpartum physiotherapy supports functional recovery after a vaginal birth or a caesarean.

What it is

After birth there may be urine leakage, a feeling of heaviness, scar discomfort or difficulty returning to exercise.

Postpartum physiotherapy supports functional recovery after a vaginal birth or a caesarean, respecting healing, symptoms and each woman’s needs.

Who it is for

  • Women who want to recover comfort and function after pregnancy, whether or not they have major symptoms.
  • Those with pain, abdominal diastasis, perineal discomfort or difficulty returning to their activities.

Good to know

  • If you have it, bring your birth report or medical instructions; they help us adapt the plan to your stage.
  • You do not need major symptoms to come in: we also support those who want to recover comfort and function.

Frequently asked questions

Before your visit

What people most often ask before booking this consultation at Traña.

Do I still need an assessment after a caesarean?

It can be useful. Pregnancy also changes abdominal and pelvic function, even without a vaginal birth.

When can I start?

The usual preference is to wait until the postpartum recovery period has finished; this may change with medical advice if there is a specific complication. Early guidance and exercise progression are adapted to each stage.

Is diastasis judged only by its size?

No. How the abdomen works, tissue tension, symptoms and load tolerance also matter.

When can I run or lift again?

That depends on your recovery, symptoms and functional capacity — not only on how many weeks have passed.

Does this sound familiar? Let’s talk about your case.
