Postpartum Recovery: Regain Strength Safely with Physiotherapy

My Pain Clinic Global – Bandra West, Mumbai
(Recognised as one of the best physio and advanced women’s health clinics in Mumbai, India)

The postpartum period is a powerful yet challenging phase where a woman’s body needs guided rehabilitation to restore strength, balance, and confidence. At My Pain Clinic Global (Bandra West, Mumbai), our comprehensive postpartum physiotherapy program helps new mothers heal safely with science-backed, personalised care.

Why Postpartum Physiotherapy Matters

Back, Neck & Shoulder Pain Relief

Pregnancy and feeding strain the spine, and physiotherapy restores alignment and relieves muscle overload.

Correction of Diastasis Recti (Abdominal Separation)

Specialised core exercises help close the abdominal gap and improve stability and appearance.

Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation

Strengthening and relaxation techniques help restore bladder control and pelvic support.

Posture Correction After Delivery

Targeted training corrects slouching caused by breastfeeding, holding the baby, and weakened core muscles.

C-Section and Episiotomy Healing

Scar therapy improves mobility, reduces tightness, and enhances tissue recovery.

Safe Return to Exercise

A structured and supervised plan prevents injury and rebuilds strength at the right pace.

Improved Mobility & Daily Function

Restoring foundational movement makes lifting, carrying, and caring for the baby easier and pain-free.

Detailed Postpartum Physiotherapy Plan

1. Diastasis Recti & Core Rehabilitation

Deep Core Activation: We retrain your transverse abdominis, the most important stabilising muscle.
Safe Abdominal Exercises: Every movement is chosen to avoid worsening the abdominal gap.
Breathing–Core Integration: Correct breathing helps activate core muscles more effectively.
Posture-Based Core Strengthening: Posture correction ensures long-term abdominal healing.
Progressive Strength Plan: Exercises gradually increase to rebuild strength safely.
Pelvic Chair for Core Stability: The Pelvic Chair enhances deep core activation by stimulating the pelvic floor, which is directly linked to abdominal support.

2. Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy

Pelvic Floor Strengthening: Essential to prevent leakage and support core stability.
Relaxation for Tight Muscles: Some women need relaxation, not strengthening—both are addressed.
Bladder & Bowel Retraining: Helps reduce urgency, heaviness, and discomfort.
Postural Alignment: Correct posture reduces pelvic pressure and improves healing.
Breathing-Coordinated Pelvic Work: Ensures efficient activation without strain.

Pelvic Chair Therapy (Non-Invasive Strengthening):
A high-intensity electromagnetic Pelvic Chair stimulates thousands of pelvic contractions in a single session, strengthening the pelvic floor rapidly and effectively without internal instruments.

3. C-Section Scar & Soft Tissue Therapy

Scar Mobilisation: Gentle techniques make the scar softer and more flexible.
Fascial Release: Improves mobility and reduces pulling sensations while bending or stretching.
Red Light Therapy: Supports collagen repair and reduces scar tightness.
Post-Surgery Pain Relief: Helps reduce numbness, stiffness, and sensitivity around the scar.
Abdominal Mobility Training: Restores smooth movement across the abdomen and pelvis.
Pelvic Chair Support for C-Section Recovery: Helps rebuild pelvic strength after a C-section without stressing the incision site.

4. Back, Neck, Shoulder & Ribcage Rehab

Spinal Mobilisation: Restores movement and reduces stiffness.
Upper Back Strengthening: Improves posture and reduces feeding-related pain.
Neck & Shoulder Relief: Corrects tension from prolonged feeding and carrying.
Ribcage Mobility Training: Restores breathing mechanics and improves core stability.
Ergonomics Coaching: Teaches safe feeding, lifting, and baby-care positions.

5. Safe Return-to-Exercise Program

Stage-Based Progression: Exercises are designed according to your postpartum healing stage.
Low-Impact Cardio Conditioning: Helps rebuild stamina without overloading joints.
Strength Training: Gradual strengthening prevents injuries and supports daily function.
Pelvic Stability Work: Ensures the pelvis is strong enough before heavier exercises.
Pre-Pregnancy Fitness Restoration: Helps mothers safely return to gym, yoga, Pilates, or running.
Pelvic Chair for Pre-Exercise Strength: Builds foundational pelvic strength, reducing the risk of leakage or injury during workouts.

6. Breathing Therapy & Nervous System Reset

Diaphragm Training: Helps restore deep breathing after pregnancy compression.
Rib Expansion Techniques: Improves oxygenation and supports core engagement.
Posture-Based Breathing: Aligns the ribcage and spine for more efficient breathing.
Stress-Relief Breathing: Reduces anxiety and supports emotional wellness postpartum.
Core–Breath Coordination: Strengthens the abdomen through functional breathing mechanics.

7. Lymphatic Drainage & Postpartum Swelling Care

Manual Lymph Drainage: Reduces swelling in legs, abdomen, and around the incision.
Gentle Stimulation Techniques: Help fluid movement for faster recovery.
Post-Surgery Swelling Management: Beneficial for C-section recovery.
Mobility Exercises for Lymph Flow: Simple, safe movements support circulation.
Education on Home Strategies: Self-care routines help maintain results.
Pelvic Chair for Circulation Improvement: Strengthening pelvic muscles enhances lower-body circulation and reduces stiffness.
