Why Postpartum Recovery Doesn’t End at 6 Weeks

At your 6-week postpartum check-up, you were probably told everything looked “fine.” But maybe your body doesn’t feel fine – and that’s valid.

The 6-week “all clear” is based on healing timelines for the uterus, not a full-body recovery. Issues like leaking, heaviness in the pelvis, pain during sex, or feeling disconnected from your core are incredibly common, but they’re not something you just have to live with.

Postpartum recovery is more than surviving — it’s about healing, rebuilding strength, and feeling like yourself again. At Wings Physiotherapy, we help new and not-so-new moms navigate:

• Abdominal separation (diastasis recti)
• C-section scar sensitivity
• Pelvic organ prolapse
• Leaking urine with activity
• Low back or pelvic pain
• Re-engaging the core and pelvic floor safely

Whether you gave birth 6 weeks ago, 6 months ago, or 6 years ago, it’s never too late to support your recovery. Your body deserves the same care you give everyone else.
