A diastasis recti is the splitting of your rectus abdominus muscle to allow for your growing belly. 60% of women still have a diastasis at 6 weeks postpartum and 39% at 6 months postpartum. Tips to help your diastasis close: Watch for doming or tenting of your abdomen postpartum when you are moving around or sitting up and avoid any exercises that are causing this, especially front loading exercises like planks, push ups, sit-ups, V-sits etc Pull in or tighten your... abdominal muscles before you lift your baby Be cautious of your posture while holding baby- try to avoid arching your back and make sure you aren’t carrying baby only on one side.

Shoulder pain is one of the most common injuries or concerns Carly sees coming through the clinic. Shoulder pain is a common complaint among patients of all ages. It can start with an injury, or even more commonly it begins gradually over a period of weeks to months or even years. It is often seen in patients who perform repetitive or overhead activities, and becomes more common with aging. Most shoulder pain clears up by itself, but shoulder pain that lasts longer than a cou...ple of weeks, was due to an injury or you have lost range of motion, you should seek treatment. Take time to take care of your body. https://adelaideclinic.ca/treatments/physiotherapy #shoulderpain #adelaidecliniclindsay #lindsayontario #physiotherapy #sportsinjuries

Day 3 of our Postpartum series- Vaginal Delivery Tips. If your delivery was straightforward with no or minor tearing, you can begin gentle pelvic floor exercises within the first few days after birth, as long as they don’t cause extra pain (see previous post). Wait 2 weeks if you have had more extensive tearing You can start deep breathing right away (see Monday's post) Make sure you are passing urine regularly. You may find you are less aware of the need to empty your... bladder. If so, it is still important to go to the toilet every 2-3 hours. Try to avoid getting constipated as it can put extra strain on your pelvic floor muscles. A healthy diet, including fruit and plenty of fluids will help you return to a regular bowel routine. https://adelaideclinic.ca/treatments/pelvic #postpartum #vaginaldelivery #deepbreathing #tipsandtricks #miniseries #pelvichealthphysiotherapy #pelvicfloor #adelaidecliniclindsay #lindsayontario #cityofkawarthalakes

DAY 2: Pelvic Floor Exercises to do postpartum. Doing your exercises will: Prevent and treat stress incontinence Improve circulation to your perineum to help with swelling... Rebuild strength in your pelvic floor Step-by-step pelvic floor exercises: Find a comfortable position: lying on your back or side might be the easiest at first and become more difficult as you come up against gravity as in sitting or standing. Imagine you are trying to stop your flow of urine, or that you are trying to lift a marble up with your vagina and rectum. We want the pelvic floor muscles to lift up into the pelvis. Your upper abdomen should not contract, your buttocks or pelvis should not move. Do not hold your breath. Try to hold the contraction for 5-10 seconds while you continue to breathe normally and repeat up to 10 times Try to do quick contractions where you hold for 1 sec and relax fully and repeat 10-20 times Repeat these exercises 2-3 times per day. Associate doing them with a static activity such as watching tv or feeding your baby to help your remember to make it part of your daily routine. https://adelaideclinic.ca/treatments/pelvic #pelvichealthphysiotherapy #pelvicfloor #exercises #physioworks #adelaidecliniclindsay #lindsayontario #cityofkawarthalakes #physiotherapy #postpartum
