C-Section Recovery: How an Abdominal Board Can Help

Abdominal boards aren't just for lipo patients — many C-section moms find them incredibly helpful during recovery too.

What It Does

After a C-section, your abdominal muscles and skin need support as they heal. An abdominal board provides gentle, even compression that can reduce swelling and support the incision area.

When to Start

Most doctors recommend waiting until your incision has closed before using a board — typically around 6-8 weeks postpartum. Always get your OB's approval first.

How to Use It

Place the board flat against your lower abdomen under a postpartum compression wrap. Start with short periods and increase gradually.
