Safety is the priority after a C-section. Begin only after your doctor provides clearance, typically starting around 6-12 weeks postpartum. Focus initially on core rehabilitation—such as diaphragmatic breathing, pelvic floor work, and gentle mobility—rather than heavy lifting. Before starting an intensive program, consider checking for Diastasis Recti (abdominal muscle separation) with a postnatal physiotherapist. As you rebuild, incorporate strengthening exercises that support your core and pelvic floor, and listen to your body, stopping immediately if you feel pain.
