Postpartum Rehabilitation Program

After childbirth, a woman's body requires comprehensive restoration.

This is because the natural processes of maternal organism recovery after the period of pregnancy, for many reasons, are not always optimal. As a result, both in the first months after childbirth and in the later period, a woman may face a whole range of complaints related to the musculoskeletal system.

Posture disorders, pain in the lumbar, thoracic, cervical spine, joint pain, pelvic area discomfort, headaches, muscle diastasis - these are the most common complaints that mothers address to a doctor with.

The main task of physical rehabilitation in the postpartum period is to help the woman return to a full life as soon as possible.

Physical recovery is recommended to start within 4-6 weeks after childbirth.

The rehabilitation protocol lasts on average 12 sessions. In terms of time, this takes approximately from one to two months.
