    In fact, there is no “best place” in the standard answer. The key is to match your own physical condition, time budget and life rhythm. Public tertiary postpartum rehabilitation departments, regular chain maternity health institutions, certified door-to-door rehabilitation practitioners, and even practicing at home all have corresponding suitable groups.

    I traveled a lot last year when I accompanied my cousin to choose maternity care. She had severe urinary leakage after vaginal surgery, and her pubic symphysis was separated by 2.1cm. It hurt even to turn over. At first, I bought a package of more than 8,000 yuan at the agency at the entrance of the community. After three weeks of treatment, the pain did not decrease at all. Later, I quickly transferred When she went to the city's postpartum rehabilitation department for women and children, the doctor first performed a complete pelvic floor muscle assessment and imaging examination. In addition to conventional electrical stimulation, she also added targeted pubic bone repositioning techniques. She ran twice a week, and the pain was basically gone in a month and a half. Now she can take her baby to the amusement park without leaking urine.

    Of course, this does not mean that institutions are completely useless. Another friend of mine only had a 1.8 finger diastasis of the rectus abdominis after giving birth. She usually just wants to adjust the rounded shoulders and hunchback caused by carrying the baby. She feels that the hospital has to wait in line for more than 40 minutes every time to register, and there are too many nurses during treatment. She couldn't care less, so she chose a chain institution with a good reputation near her home. She made an appointment at the right time, and the front desk could also help look after the baby for a while. After more than two months of doing it, her abdominal circumference was reduced by 7cm, and her back pain was relieved a lot. She actually felt that it was more cost-effective than going to the hospital.

    If there is no one at home to help take care of the baby and you can’t even squeeze in time to go out, you can also consider looking for a reliable door-to-door rehabilitation practitioner. The twin mother downstairs in my house found a rehabilitation practitioner who had been in the rehabilitation department of a tertiary hospital for five or six years and then went out to work alone. The equipment he brings to the door every time is the same as the one used in the hospital. During the project, we will also teach some small movements that can be practiced while the baby is sleeping. The price is 30% cheaper than the agency, and it also saves the time of traveling back and forth. The only thing you need to pay attention to is to check the other party's rehabilitation therapist qualification certificate in advance. Don't encounter the kind of wild people who only take a crash course for a week and come out to take orders. If you practice incorrectly, it will harm your body.

    There are also many mothers who feel that it is not as convenient as at home anywhere. My colleague has a foundation in yoga. After giving birth, the rectus abdominis muscle was separated by 1 and a half fingers. She followed the recovery video posted by the Provincial Maternity and Infant Affairs Bureau and practiced for 20 minutes a day, and it was back to within half a finger in more than three months. This method requires a lot of self-discipline and a sense of force. Many people do not practice the core correctly, but injure their waists.

    After all, for postpartum recovery, the more expensive the place, the better. The place that can adapt to your needs and that you can stick to is the most suitable place for you. After all, compared with where to do it, following the professional plan and persisting in the intervention is the key to really seeing the results.
