Strengthen your core muscles, minimize scar pain, and maximize healing.

Strong C-Section Mama

C-Section Physical Therapy

PART OF THE STRONG CORE MAMA PROGRAM

Evidence-based physical therapy after C-section, developed through Dr. Anna’s personal experience with three cesareans and healing hundreds of patients in the physical therapy clinic.

C-section recovery requires tailored support and care. Most standard postpartum programs don't address the unique challenges of healing from a major abdominal surgery while also rebuilding your core. There’s also a misconception that you won't have pelvic floor issues after a cesarean (that’s simply not true!).

This program gives C-section mamas scar mobilization techniques to reduce pain and tightness, pelvic floor exercises that acknowledge your birth experience, and core rehabilitation to rebuild your abdominal muscles. It’s time to start feeling strong in your body again!

Heal your core muscles and C-section scar, even years after your belly birth.

-Bridgette DePolo

After my cesarean delivery, I struggled with pelvic floor pain and fear of how to get moving again after a major abdominal surgery. Dr. Anna's C-section physical therapy program has given me the confidence to get back into exercising and even the ability to mom from a physically stable place. I now know the signs to look for if I am struggling with pelvic floor function and have the tools to get everything functioning better as well! Every mom needs pelvic physical therapy, and I’m so grateful to have found Dr. Anna! I look forward to doing her programs with my future pregnancies as well! I know my body will thank me for preparing better physically for my next pregnancy!

-Kelly D.

“After my first C-section, doctors weren’t very helpful and just recommended that I do planks, even though I had a pretty significant abdominal separation. I also struggled with frustrating issues like constant debilitating muscle cramps under my ribs, and I had zero core strength. With my second C-section, I knew I wanted to rehab my core and pelvic floor in a way I hadn’t known was possible the first time around. Anna does such a fantastic job explaining the “why” throughout the videos, which I found so empowering to truly understand what was going on with my body and how to heal it safely. I was able to resume running again, this time without the mystery rib pain! My scar has also healed SO much better this time as I’ve been focusing on scar massage and mobilization, with less numbness and better mobility, plus it just LOOKS so much better!”

“I had six years in between my two cesarean births, and the second time, my recovery has been SO much better thanks to this program!!”

Yes! You'll have direct access to Dr. Anna to ask questions as you go through the content. You’ll also be able to see Dr. Anna’s answers to other moms’ questions because they’re often helpful!

Will I have direct access to Dr. Anna if I have questions?

You're billed monthly or yearly, depending on what plan you subscribed for, and you can cancel anytime before your next billing cycle. No long-term commitments required!

If I sign up and realize it's not for me, what's the cancellation policy?

NO! It's never too late. Your body can respond to core and pelvic physical therapy even years after your birth. Many moms in Strong C-Section Mama see big improvements in scar mobility, core function, and pelvic floor symptoms even when it's been 10+ years since they had kids.

Does the pelvic floor weaken after a C-section?

The earlier the better! If you're between 2-6 weeks postpartum, start with Strong Healing Mama, which focuses on gentle recovery for both C-sections and vaginal deliveries. Once you reach 6 weeks and have clearance, you can transition into Strong C-Section Mama for more targeted C-section physical therapy exercises and support.

When to start physical therapy after a C-section?

Any mom after 6 weeks postpartum with OB clearance. The program is designed for cesarean moms at any stage of recovery, even if you had your belly birth years or decades ago. Many women in their 50s and 60s have joined the program.

Who can participate in the Strong C-Section Mama Program?

Yes! You can easily follow all of Dr. Anna’s programs on your phone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Core & Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy After C-Section

Physical therapy can help reduce the appearance of the C-section "pooch." Strong C-Section Mama addresses the root causes of a C-section shelf and helps you get rid of it with hands-on techniques like mobility exercises, scar massage, deep core activation, cupping, skin rolling, and breathing.

How can I lose my C-section “pooch” without surgery?

Yes! This is one of the biggest misconceptions about cesarean births. Your pelvic floor supports your baby's weight for 9 months during pregnancy, regardless of delivery method. Plus, hormonal and postural changes during pregnancy & motherhood can contribute to pelvic floor issues. Many C-section moms are surprised to experience leaking (AKA, peeing when you cough or exercise), pelvic pain, or weakness.

Yes! Many moms experience improved sensation and reduced numbness with consistent scar mobilization and other specific techniques in Strong C-Section Mama.

I'm experiencing numbness around my scar. Can this program help with that?

I had my C-section years ago. Is it too late to benefit from this program?

YES! Healing diastasis recti is an important part of Dr. Anna's physical therapy programs. Many C-section mamas experience abdominal separation, and it's often possible to fix it with the right education and physical therapy exercises, no surgical procedure needed!

Does this program address diastasis recti?

YES! As a pelvic PT, Dr. Anna has treated hundreds of women who struggled with pelvic floor issues after cesarean birth, including tightness (also known as a hypertonic pelvic floor), weakness, pain, and leaking. Some women can also develop pelvic organ prolapse. Strong C-Section Mama helps improve these issues and prevent them from getting worse.

Does this program address pelvic floor dysfunction?

Strong C-Section Mama is designed to fit into busy mom life! Each session takes about 15-20 minutes to complete. For best results, aim to do your C-section physical therapy exercises twice per week (or more often if you want to!). The program has a clear progression path, so you know exactly what to do and when to advance to promote healing.

How much time will I need to commit each week?

ABSOLUTELY! The program was created by a pelvic therapist and a mom of three who understands the realities of motherhood. All exercises can be done while your kids play nearby, and the short session format makes it easier to fit into unpredictable schedules. It’s also easy to start, stop, and pause as needed.

Can I do this program with my baby/kids around?

You may need to purchase a few items, but they're not really "special equipment" and many active moms already have them. You'll need a resistance band and a small ball. You can find recommendations on my Favorites page

Do I need any special equipment?

Strong C-Section Mama is a specialized track within the Strong Core Mama program. When you sign up for Strong C-Section Mama, you get access to both!
The C-Section track focuses on cesarean-specific recovery, including scar mobilization, pelvic floor symptoms specific to a cesarean delivery, and mobility post-C-section. Strong Core Mama addresses core and pelvic floor challenges that both C-section and vaginal birth moms experience, including hip pain, pelvic girdle pain, back pain, diastasis recti, and more.
