Why is the Abdominal Binding Important?

During pregnancy, the body produces Relaxin, a hormone that loosens muscles, pelvic joints, and ligaments to allow for fetal growth. This often results in: 

● Abdominal Instability: Stretching of the linea alba leading to Diastasis Recti Abdominis (DRA). 

● Pelvic Widening: Increased pressure on the sacroiliac joints and lumbar spine, often causing chronic lower back pain. 

● Organ Displacement: The physical shifting of internal organs to accommodate the growing uterus. 

Our 10 day extensive course combined with physiotherapy interventions provides the external stability needed to facilitate the return of internal organs to their pre-pregnancy positions and support the recovery of the abdominal wall and pelvic ligaments. 

Who is it for? 

This service is designed for postnatal patients managing: 

● Diastasis Recti (Abdominal Separation): Visible bulging or weakness in the abdominal midline. 

● Postnatal Postural Fatigue: Lower back pain and spinal pressure caused by weakened core support. 

● Pelvic Instability: Discomfort in the hips or pubic symphysis. 

● Visceral Support Needs: Patients seeking a combined clinical and tradition Chinese confinement approach.

Clinical Timing & Safety Guidelines

To ensure safe tissue remodeling, the program follows strict clinical timelines: 

● Vaginal Delivery: Commencing from 4 weeks postpartum. 

● Cesarean Delivery: Commencing from 8 weeks postpartum, depending on individual surgical recovery.

● Miscarriage Recovery: Commencing 1 to 2 weeks post-event to assist in physical and emotional healing. 

Note: This treatment is contraindicated for patients with active skin infections, severe heart/lung conditions, Postpartum pelvic organ prolapse or those currently experiencing heavy lochia (postpartum bleeding).
