@askjanette: 😫 “Why does my back hurt so much after C-section?” As a C-section therapist to hundreds of moms, I want you to know that there are MANY causes of back pain after major abdominal surgery. But THIS one, most moms aren’t ever told about: ➡️ It’s from the DEEP C-section scar (myofascia)..... ... and has everything to do with your #csectionshelf (overhang) 😳 Take a look at this video. See how the pull of the C-section shelf wraps around the side and to the lower back? See how it angles upwards? In standing, the weight of the belly is supposed to comfortably “hang”. ❗ But if there is tethering from this DEEP myofascial scar, it will focus this “hang” one section on the lower back, instead of distributing the weight throughout. Solution? ✔️ Deep scar massage that reaches the muscle layer ✔️ Follow with exercises that hold this new mobility ✔️ Add exercises that strengthen in this new shape ⭐ Remember: This DEEP scar is a major cause of the C-section Shelf too! So... Know that Scar Massage is a vital part to your #csectionrecovery. It’s not hard to learn, and can make a BIG difference starting with just 5 minutes a day (the way I teach it!)
