“Restore Core and Pelvic Floor After Birth.”

Every birth is different, and recovery looks different too. Vaginal deliveries may bring pelvic floor symptoms, while C‑sections add scar and abdominal healing needs. Our care blends hands‑on therapy and guided movement to help you feel whole again.​

Are you healing from a belly birth (c-section)? 
​
A C‑section doesn’t cut through your abdominal muscles, but the skin and fascia are impacted, reducing the support those muscles provide for daily movement. This can affect everything from rising out of a chair to lifting your baby. With Dolphin Neurostim (NMS), we can begin treatment early — before the scar is fully healed — to release tension, improve circulation, and retrain protective nervous system patterns. Combined with pelvic floor therapy and guided movement, this accelerates recovery and restores whole‑body resilience.

What is DRA?
  • The outer left and right abdominal muscles separate
  • The deepest muscles may be weak and unable to support your core
  • Very common in the third trimester of pregnancy


Why is it important to address?
  • Weakness can lead to 
  • Upper and low back pain while sitting, standing and walking
  • Pelvic floor pain, weakness and hypertonic muscles
  • Bladder leaking
  • Staining for bowel movements & hemorrhoids

Are you ready to return to Exercise?
While you may be looking in the mirror and want to address  the outside appearance,

​
It's best to start with how you FEEL on the inside.
  • Do you have back, neck or pelvic pain?
  • Do you have a heavy feeling in the pelvic floor at the end of the day?
  • Do you have bladder leaking with cough, sneeze, laugh, lifting?
  • Do you DRA-abdominal muscle separation?
  • Do you start to exercise and make any of these things worse?

When you start with the deep core muscles ie abdominals, back and pelvic floor first you will build strength, stability and stamina and reduce pain and fatigue

What's included in care and recovery?
