Postnatal C-Section Recovery Workshop - Wednesday 26th March 2025

Postnatal C-section recovery workshop

Wednesday 26th March 2025, 10-11.15am
Hummingbird Pilates & Yoga Studio, Chelmsford

This workshop is specifically designed for those recovering from a c-section, whether it is a few weeks, months or even years ago. You will need to be a minimum of six weeks postpartum, eight weeks is suggested if there has been any infection.

A caesarean section is major surgery. It is important to encourage healing in this area to avoid future complications.

This workshop will aim to aid healing from a c-section, both physical and emotional.   We will focus on moving and stretching into the tissues around the scar, increasing blood flow to the area, working into the associated muscles and learning scar massage techniques to use yourself at home to break down adhesions and aid healing.

Participants will receive a handout of massage techniques and a recording of movement practices.

Please note that you are very welcome to bring babies along to this session, although the focus will be on you.

Here are some testimonials from previous participants

“I just wanted to let you know how brilliant the c-section class was when I did it all those months ago (think I was in the first group you did). Whilst I probably didn’t continue with many of the exercises, I did the massage you showed us on the scar with bio oil almost every day since and it looks so good now. Much fainter and starting to not look pink at all in places”

“Since doing the c section recovery course and learning the scar massage I have noticed some real improvements in my c section scar. Psychologically  I’ve come more to terms with the scar  – I couldn’t  even look at it before and now I can even  touch it. Physically it’s  become  a lot less tight above the scar and also less numb. It’s also become less red.  And it’s easy to do (I do it in the shower each day ) even with a small baby”

The cost of this workshop will be £15, payable in advance. Maximum six participants.
