51. Abdominal Therapy After Birth: Healing the Core, Scar Tissue & Digestion with Caitlin Perry

Episode 51

In this episode of The Vibrantly You® Podcast, we’re joined by Caitlin Perry, licensed massage therapist, mom of two, and founder of Core Connections Bodywork, for a deep and fascinating look at abdominal therapy — a powerful healing modality for postpartum recovery.

If you’ve experienced Diastisis Recti, a C-section, digestive issues, or pelvic discomfort postpartum, this episode is for you. Caitlin explains how abdominal massage (rooted in traditional practices and visceral manipulation) can support healing in the core, improve scar tissue mobility, and reconnect you to your body after birth.

We also talk about:

  • What to expect during an abdominal therapy session
  • Why this is such an underutilized postpartum healing tool
  • How abdominal massage fits into your recovery alongside support from a postpartum fitness coach, and perinatal nutritionist
  • The connection between Traditional Chinese Medicine and postpartum healing

Whether you're newly postpartum or years out from birth, this conversation offers hope, healing, and holistic insight into reconnecting with your core from the inside out.
