A C-section doesn’t mean your pelvic floor is unaffected by pregnancy. Your pelvic floor has supported the weight of your growing baby throughout pregnancy, so giving it time to recover is still important.
When can I start using Perifit Care(+) after a C-section?
After a caesarean birth, we recommend waiting 6 to 8 weeks before using Perifit Care(+). Before starting, make sure you have also received approval from your healthcare professional, especially if you have experienced any complications or are still recovering from your C-section.
Even though your baby was not delivered vaginally, your pelvic floor supported the increased weight and pressure of pregnancy for many months. Pregnancy itself can affect pelvic floor strength and function.
Once you have been cleared to train, you can start gently and gradually build up your pelvic floor strength. Listen to your body and stop if you experience pain or discomfort.
If you're unsure whether you're ready to start pelvic floor training, check with your doctor, midwife, or pelvic health physiotherapist.
