Postpartum recovery company

Postpartum recovery companies with formal medical qualifications and projects that match actual needs can effectively solve the problem of functional injuries caused by pregnancy and childbirth, and are by no means IQ tax; however, the current industry entry threshold is low, black shops and excessive marketing are common, and the probability of blindly following the trend in applying for a card is more than 60%. The core premise of whether to choose is to first clarify your physical condition and real needs.

To tell you something I just encountered last week, I accompanied my cousin who gave birth to twins to 7 maternity and health care institutions of different sizes, ranging from high-end stores in confinement centers, to mom-and-pop shops in community shops, to public maternal and child rehabilitation departments. After running around, I discovered that the difference in understanding of this matter among different groups of people can be ridiculously large. The attending doctors of women and children have two completely different attitudes. One thinks that as long as the rectus abdominis separation does not exceed 2 fingers and the pelvic floor muscle strength is above level 3 during the postpartum review, it is enough to go home and practice Kegels and abdominal breathing on your own. There is no need to waste money; the other is clear. He said that if you have problems such as vaginal wall bulge of degree 3 or above, back pain that makes you unable to hold your baby, coughing and leaking urine, etc., you should first find an institution with a certified rehabilitation practitioner for intervention. This is much more efficient than practicing blindly on your own, and can avoid more serious organ prolapse problems later on.

I previously talked to an owner of a product store that has been open for 6 years. She is also a mother of two children, and she said that the industry has a bad reputation now, and it’s really just a mouse dropping that spoils the whole pot of porridge. She just received a client a while ago. She was deceived into spending RMB 30,000 for "manual pelvic repair + vaginal reduction" at the postpartum center after giving birth. As a result, the hip bone was not narrowed, but the pubic bone hurt for half a month. She came to her for an imaging evaluation. In fact, the pubic symphysis was separated by 1.8cm, and the rectus abdominis was separated by three fingers. After 10 times of electrical stimulation and manual reduction, and with daily movement guidance, she fully recovered at a total cost of less than RMB 6,000. "You don't know that there are many fast-track franchise stores now, where employees are trained to press the pelvis after only 7 days of training, and they will talk about any project that is popular, such as residual milk removal, ovarian maintenance, and hip bone closure. They are all IQ tax projects used to earn a premium. The really useful core projects are actually the same: rectus abdominis separation repair, pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation, pubic symphysis reset, and postpartum posture adjustment. The rest are sold as bundles, so don't touch them."

Oh, by the way, many people can't tell the difference between maternity care institutions and rehabilitation departments in public hospitals. I specifically asked the rehabilitation doctors I know well, and they actually have their own pros and cons. Public hospitals are better because of their reliable qualifications and transparent prices. A single session of pelvic floor muscle stimulation with medical insurance only costs a few dozen dollars, but the disadvantages are also obvious: it is difficult to register, and you have to wait in line for an hour and 20 minutes each time. The doctor simply cannot care about your daily habits, such as whether you always use one hand to hold the baby or whether you slump when breastfeeding. Many people do it for half a month without any effect. In fact, the bad habit of going home offsets the treatment effect. Reliable obstetrics and health care stores have flexible schedules, and many of them can come to your door. The rehabilitation therapist will keep an eye on you as you adjust your daily habits. For example, at the community store my cousin chose, the rehabilitation therapist pointed out when she first came to the store that her belly always stretched out when she held the baby, which was a compensation caused by weak rectus abdominis. He adjusted her posture on the spot to hold the baby, and the next day she said that most of her back pain had been relieved. Of course, the premise is that you have to find a store that doesn't make blind sales and has a rehabilitation therapist with a rehabilitation therapist qualification certificate. The kind that pulls you as soon as you enter the door and tells you that your pelvis is crooked and will leak urine for the rest of your life if it is not repaired. Just turn around and leave.

Not everyone needs to find a health care company. I have a friend who has been a fitness coach for 10 years. She has never been to any institution after giving birth. After adjusting her training plan for 3 months, the rectus abdominis muscles have retracted from 2 and a half fingers to 1 finger, and the strength of the pelvic floor muscles has returned to level 4. She always said that maternity health care is the money earned by poor information. As long as you have basic exercise knowledge and can find the right sense of force, you can practice at home for mild injuries. However, she also said that her situation cannot be replicated by ordinary people. Many mothers have never exercised and cannot even find the right place to exert force on Kegels. If they practice blindly by following online videos, they may aggravate the problem of pelvic floor muscles due to high abdominal pressure. I have met a mother before who practiced Kegels for a month, but her urinary leakage became more serious. After going to the hospital for examination, I found out that she had been using her abdomen to exert force, and the more she practiced, the higher the abdominal pressure.

To be honest, the current prejudice against postpartum recovery companies is that half of them are scammed by unscrupulous stores, and the other half is that they spend money indiscriminately without understanding their own needs. If you don’t feel any discomfort after giving birth, and all the indicators in the 42-day reexamination are normal, then you don’t need to spend this money at all. Just be careful not to stand and hold the baby for a long time, and you will recover slowly; if you already have problems with urine leakage, back pain, or the stomach cannot be retracted, go to the hospital for a complete evaluation first, and then go to the comparison agency with the report. For projects, don’t listen to the sales scam and get an annual card worth tens of thousands. Buy a three-time experience card first and try it out. See if the rehabilitation therapist will give you a targeted assessment and ask you about your daily living habits. They will tell you that you have problems all over the body and need a full set of treatments. Just block it. The probability of being scammed is really not that high.
