Surgical Healing
Reconnecting with your body after surgery
Surgery can be both physically and emotionally transformative. Whether it’s a hysterectomy, prolapse repair, cesarean birth, endometriosis excision, or other pelvic or abdominal procedure, your body deserves the space and time to heal fully.
At Prana Pelvic Health, we support your recovery with gentle, individualized care — helping you reconnect with strength, movement, and trust in your body again. Healing after surgery isn’t just about scar tissue or muscle function; it’s about restoring safety, balance, and confidence from within.
Common reasons people seek support
Pain, tightness, or pulling around scars or incisions
Pelvic, abdominal, or back discomfort after surgery
Constipation, bladder changes, or pain with intimacy
Weakness or disconnection in the core and pelvic floor
Fear or hesitation around returning to movement
Emotional overwhelm, anxiety, or trauma response following surgery
Post-surgical recovery is unique to every person. Our approach is gentle, whole-person, and paced according to your body’s readiness — not a timeline.
Sessions may include:
Education about your surgery, healing process, and what to expect
Scar tissue mobilization and gentle manual therapy for improved mobility
Breathwork and movement retraining to restore coordination and strength
Pelvic floor and core connection exercises
Nervous system regulation and emotional support to rebuild trust in your body
Guidance for safe, confident return to exercise and daily activities
The mind-body connection
Surgery can leave not only physical marks but emotional ones too. It’s common to feel disconnected from the area that’s been operated on — or to hold tension, fear, or numbness there.
One client who had a hysterectomy shared that she felt “cut off” from her core. Through gentle breath and awareness work, she began to feel sensation and trust return — along with a new sense of self.
Another client recovering from cesarean birth struggled with pain around her scar and fear of movement. By combining manual therapy, scar desensitization, and nervous system grounding, she regained comfort and confidence — not just in her body, but in her ability to move freely again.
Healing after surgery isn’t about going back to who you were before. It’s about integrating your experience and rediscovering strength, connection, and ease in this new chapter.
Your body has done incredible work to recover — and with intentional support, you can continue that healing in a way that feels gentle, empowering, and complete.
If you’re ready to reconnect with your body after surgery, we’re here to walk that path with you.
