Overview

Cesarean birth presents its own distinct set of rehabilitation challenges.

A growing body of evidence supports a variety of treatment strategies to effectively manage cesarean-specific concerns, such as postoperative ambulation, incisional pain management, and myofascial restriction of C-section scar.

Physiotherapists have the education and skills necessary to address these concerns and should be considered pivotal in cesarean rehabilitation.

 

Sujet: Le rôle de la physiothérapie dans la gestion de la réadaptation après une césarienne

Conférencier: Katie Kelly

Description de la séance: Les naissances par césarienne présentent leur propre lot de défis en matière de réadaptation. De plus en plus de preuves soutiennent un large éventail de stratégies de traitement pour gérer efficacement les préoccupations propres à la césarienne comme l’ambulation postopératoire, la gestion de la douleur liée à l’incision et la restriction myofasciale de la cicatrice de césarienne. Les physiothérapeutes ont la formation et les compétences nécessaires pour dissiper ces préoccupations et devraient jouer un rôle central dans la réadaptation après une césarienne.
