In this episode of Her Guide, we welcome back Kelly Rigby, Senior Physiotherapist, to explore postpartum recovery beyond the six-week check. We discuss what happens to the body after vaginal and caesarean birth, the factors that can influence recovery, and what physiotherapists assess when supporting women postpartum. We also unpack common myths around pelvic floor health, leaking, prolapse, and returning to exercise, and talk through postpartum conditions many women experience quietly. An important conversation every postpartum woman deserves to hear.
