The Fourth Trimester Assessment
Suitable for 6 weeks post birth and beyond, this is a holistic assessment of your healing following the birth of your baby. Whether you had a C-Section or vaginal birth, this treatment is an opportunity to have the time and space to check in with your recovery so far, and identify any areas which may require a little more TLC! This appointment will give you the knowledge to continue navigating the Fourth Trimester feeling empowered to understand more about your postnatal body, and empower you to make safe decisions about returning to gentle movement or exercise.
The Fourth Trimester Assessment looks at your body as a whole, reviewing posture, movement, diastatis and pelvic floor. It is possible that an external and/or internal pelvic floor assessment may be recommended to help to shape your rehabilitation plan, but this will be advised upon during your appointment. Please note, Maia Therapies cannot provide a chaperone at your appointment, so please do bring one if you would like, and let me know in advance if you do not wish for this to be included in your appointment.
If you have had a C-section birth, this appointment will be an opportunity to take a look at your scar, assess how it is healing and identify the type of scar formation you currently have. We can then talk through any follow up appointments together to develop a tailored programme to start massaging your C-Section scar.

THE C-SECTION MASSAGE
Have you had a C-Section?
Is your scar...
...raised
...red
...tight
...leaving you with an overhang?
...causing a 'pulling' sensation?
C-Section scar massage can help to reduce and remove these common but uncomfortable symptoms, and is suitable from 6 weeks after your baby is born? This treatment uses gentle movements on and around the scar area to improve hydration, circulation and lymphatic drainage to promote softening and healing of the scar. At your first consultation Steph will work with you to create a tailored massage programme to begin your postnatal rehabilitation together, and advise on any additional tech
Follow up appointments offer an opportunity to use state of the art equipment such as the Lymphatouch device and Winback R-shock device to support the rehabilitation and progress of your C-Section scar, alongside the use of manual massage. All treatments are gentle and kind to your scar, and we work at a pace that you feel comfortable with.
Most importantly: it's never too late to start engaging and massaging your scar. Change is always possible 🤍
