C
hildbirth is a natural, joyous, and
miraculous event, but sometimes
with consequences for the
mother's pelvic function, as well
as long-term overall health. The
aftereffects of even a "normal" delivery
can lead to instability, pain, and all
kinds of dysfunction to the pelvic area.
Here, we examine some of these issues
that are within the reach of the manual
therapist, particularly strategies for easing
scars from cesarean section deliveries
and restoring pelvic floor integrity.
