Speaker Descriptions
Healing After Cesarean Birth: Moving Beyond the Scar with Purposeful Rehab - Jaclyn Seebach
Cesarean births account for nearly one-third of deliveries worldwide yet postpartum rehab guidelines and physiotherapy intervention remain inconsistent and under-utilized. This interactive session bridges that gap by diving into emerging research and discussion around how we as clinicians can more thoroughly support this population. We’ll cover scar mobilization, core and pelvic floor retraining, pain management, movement progression, and psychosocial considerations. This session aims to refine your assessment, challenge your clinical reasoning, and explore ways to optimize patient outcomes after Cesarean birth.
Objectives:
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Describe current evidence for Cesarean rehabilitation including possible timelines for intervention and red flags.
- Apply effective assessment tools and treatment techniques for Cesarean scar mobility, acute pain management, and functional recovery.
- Integrate appropriate exercise and movement progressions with consideration for the unique needs of this population.
- Identify common barriers to recovery (physical, psychological, and systemic) and formulate strategies to address them.
- Communicate confidently with clients and interdisciplinary providers regarding Cesarean rehabilitation.

Cancers in the pelvis account for a relatively large percentage of new diagnoses for both cis-males and females. Side effects can occur with any type of cancer treatment, whether that be surgical, radiation, or chemotherapy. The severity and type of side effects will depend on the specific area or organs effected, size of area treated, type and amount of surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and overall health and co-morbidities.
With modern advances in cancer treatment, more people are surviving cancer than ever before. Patients live with the burden of having had cancer, radiation, chemotherapy and surgeries. We must now look beyond the initial good outcome of survivorship and focus on optimizing quality of life.
Pelvic health physiotherapy is uniquely positioned to address symptoms of cancer treatment including urinary, bowel, and sexual dysfunction. This evidence-based lecture discusses a whole-person approach that can help improve the quality of life in this under-serviced population.
- Discuss the prevalence of cancers affecting the pelvis and pelvic floor dysfunction following treatment
- Summarize common medical cancer treatments
- Review assessment considerations for people affected by cancer
- Review the evidence for physiotherapy treatment options
