Abdominal & pelvic floor rehabilitation
Specialist rehabilitation before and after surgery to restore core function, pelvic floor coordination and a safe return to activity.
Rehabilitation phases
- Breathing and early core activation
- Pelvic floor awareness and coordination
- Progressive abdominal wall strengthening
- Posture and movement re-education
- Return to sport and functional activities
Who benefits
- Patients with rectus diastasis before or after surgery
- Patients with pelvic floor symptoms (prolapse, incontinence, pelvic pain)
- Patients with chronic abdominal wall pain
- Athletes returning to sport after abdominal surgery
Integrated approach
Our physiotherapists work with the surgical team to create personalised programmes. We coordinate rehabilitation with surgical follow-up to ensure safe progression.
Before surgery
Prehabilitation can improve breathing, pelvic floor awareness and core control before surgery. This can make the postoperative recovery smoother and more effective.
