What Happens to a Woman's Body After Delivery
Pregnancy and delivery place a load on the pelvic floor, abdominal wall and lumbar spine that is unlike any other in modern life. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) confirms that **up to 33% of women** experience stress urinary incontinence in the first year post-partum, and that Sperstad 2016 found a **60% prevalence of diastasis recti > 2 cm** at six weeks post-partum.
The good news is that early, structured pelvic floor and core physiotherapy — begun at 6 weeks post-partum (or 8 weeks post C-section) — resolves most of these problems in 12 weeks. The Pelvic, Obstetric and Gynaecological Physiotherapy (POGP) guidelines are the global reference. Our female clinicians (Iram Areef Mujawar UK-HCPC #PH149292, Dr Shaista Anjum MPT Gulf Medical, Dr Mandara TV MPT Neuro RGUHS 21TN047) are trained in this framework.
Post-Natal Day-1 Assessment (Female Clinician)
The 60-minute home visit is always conducted by a **female clinician**. Testing includes: diastasis recti check (inter-recti distance measured by caliper or ultrasound above/below umbilicus, > 2 cm = clinically significant), pelvic floor palpation & Modified Oxford Grading (0–5), PERFECT scheme (Power, Endurance, Repetitions, Fast contractions, Every-contraction-timed), C-section scar mobility assessment, lumbo-pelvic stability screen, and a bladder diary baseline.
ICD-10 codes used: O90.5 diastasis recti of pubis, N39.3 stress urinary incontinence, N81.9 pelvic organ prolapse unspecified, N90.89 non-inflammatory disorder of vulva/perineum. GST invoice with these codes + CPT (97110 therapeutic exercise, 97112 neuromuscular re-education, 97530 therapeutic activity) accepted by every major Indian mediclaim insurer.

7 Safe Post-Natal Rehab Steps
The single most important starting point. Deep breath-in → pelvic floor lengthens; breath-out → gentle pelvic-floor lift with transversus abdominis. Practised 3×/day for 5 minutes.
Neutral-spine draw-in with tactile feedback (fingers on lower abdomen). Progresses to heel-slides, dead-bug and bird-dog patterns over 4 weeks.
Fascial-glide + linea alba tension work. Progressive loading through Pallof press, side-plank, and eventually loaded carries. No sit-ups or planks until inter-recti < 2 cm.
Scar massage in three directions (horizontal / vertical / rotational) beginning at week 6. Restores fascial glide and reduces scar sensitivity in most patients within 4 weeks.
Bladder diary, urge-suppression technique, and Modified Oxford-graded Kegel progression. Resolves 70–80% of post-natal stress urinary incontinence in 12 weeks.
Sitting posture, arm-support pillows, and breastfeeding lumbar-support technique. Removes 90% of the post-natal neck-and-upper-back pain cluster.
