You had a c-section — and you still need pelvic floor recovery. Post-cesarean pelvic floor physiotherapy at kāer Wellness in Toronto supports your full recovery from cesarean birth: scar mobilization, core reconnection, posture, return to exercise, and addressing the pelvic floor changes that happen during pregnancy regardless of delivery method.
This is one of the most common misconceptions we hear: “I had a c-section, so I don’t need pelvic floor physio.” Not true. Your pelvic floor carried the weight of pregnancy for 9 months, your abdominal wall has gone through major changes, your scar tissue needs mobilization, and your core needs reconnection. C-section recovery is its own specialized journey — and it deserves dedicated support.
Most patients start between 8 and 12 weeks postpartum (after surgical clearance), though we welcome you at any postpartum stage. Earlier visits focus on scar healing and gentle core reconnection; later visits address chronic c-section scar pain, abdominal adhesions, and return-to-fitness goals.
Cesarean scar assessment and gentle mobilization, abdominal wall and diastasis recti rehab, posture work for breastfeeding and baby-carrying, breath retraining, progressive core strengthening, pelvic floor assessment (your pelvic floor changes during pregnancy regardless of birth method), and return-to-exercise planning. Many patients combine pelvic floor physiotherapy with our dedicated Cesarean Scar Release Therapy for more focused scar work.
Our Cesarean Scar Release Therapy is a specialized treatment focused specifically on scar tissue mobilization. Post-cesarean pelvic floor physiotherapy is broader — covering scar mobilization plus the full pelvic floor and core rehabilitation picture. Many patients benefit from both.

Yes. Pregnancy itself affects the pelvic floor and core regardless of delivery method. C-section recovery also involves scar tissue, abdominal wall changes, and posture rehabilitation that benefit from pelvic floor physiotherapy.
Most patients start between 8 and 12 weeks postpartum after surgical clearance, but we welcome patients at any postpartum stage — even years later.
Cesarean Scar Release Therapy focuses specifically on scar tissue mobilization. Post-cesarean pelvic floor physiotherapy is broader — covering scar work plus pelvic floor, core, and full-body rehabilitation. Many patients benefit from both.
Yes. We use gentle scar mobilization techniques to reduce adhesions, improve tissue mobility, and address scar pain or sensitivity.
C-section recovery places more focus on abdominal scar work, posture rehabilitation, and core reconnection. Vaginal birth recovery places more focus on perineal healing, prolapse screening, and pelvic floor strength. Both share pelvic floor and breath work as foundations.
Most extended health benefit plans cover physiotherapy provided by a registered physiotherapist. We provide receipts for direct or post-visit claims.
