Attending a C-section-specific, physio-led Pilates class offers tailored postpartum recovery through safe, guided exercises that rebuild core strength and pelvic floor function. Led by a physiotherapist, these classes focus on gentle, progressive movements that improve mobility, manage scar tissue, and reduce pain, while addressing common post-C-section issues like poor posture and stiffness. The supportive environment fosters emotional well-being, providing a community of women with shared experiences. With personalized modifications and a gradual return to fitness, these classes ensure a safe and effective recovery journey.
