The North of 40 Club offers a supportive community for women over 40. C-sections are major surgeries that require proper rehabilitation. Many women leave the hospital without necessary physical therapy prescriptions after C-sections. Pilates can be an effective method for rehabilitating post-C-section bodies. Understanding the anatomy affected by C-sections is crucial for recovery. Women often experience abdominal weakness and diastasis recti after childbirth. Simple exercises can significantly improve abdominal strength if done consistently. Massaging scar tissue can help alleviate pain and discomfort post-surgery. The importance of community support in health and wellness journeys cannot be overstated. Resources and tools are available for women seeking to improve their health after 40. "C-section is a major fucking surgery." "I could help other women do the same thing." "We're talking about diastasis recti next."
