What is postnatal core weakness?
After childbirth, the deep core and pelvic floor are weakened, whatever the type of delivery.

When to seek urgent care
Physiotherapy is safe for most people, but see a doctor urgently if you have any of these:
- Heavy bleeding or fever
- Severe pain
- A feeling of something bulging in the vagina, which needs review
Do not book physiotherapy for emergency symptoms. Seek urgent medical care first, then use physiotherapy when it is safe and appropriate.
