It usually takes about a year for the abdominal muscles to recover after childbirth. But if you wish, this process can be accelerated. To do this, you should regularly perform special exercises to strengthen the deep abdominal muscles and the pelvic floor, work with the back and posture, and do massages. An important aspect is also a proper diet. A method such as abdominal taping after childbirth will also help eliminate problems related to muscle tone and loose skin. Let’s understand how tapes affect the abdomen after childbirth.
Taping (kinesiotaping) is the application of special adhesive tapes to damaged areas of the body to restore them. These special tapes are called tapes, which are glued to the skin with a hypoallergenic adhesive for several hours or even days. The procedure is completely safe and painless. The tapes do not cause discomfort and do not restrict movement.
Taping the abdomen after childbirth has a lot of advantages compared to wearing a bandage: it is cheap, effective, discreet, convenient. The tapes are hypoallergenic, moisture-resistant, permeable and airtight. They take some of the load, helping the muscles to work properly and not stretch even more. It is a mistake to think that tapes strengthen muscles. They only help weakened muscles not to overstretch. But in order to keep your stomach taut and your body healthy, you need exercise. And they can be done directly with tapes.
Tapes applied to the abdomen solve such problems after childbirth as:
Taping the abdomen can be applied from 2-3 weeks after the birth of the child, but it is advisable to consult with your gynecologist before using it. Your doctor will tell you whether it is allowed to use tapes and how to apply them correctly in order to reanimate muscles and remove stretch marks. Particular attention should be paid to this issue for women who gave birth by cesarean section.
The final result of the technique will depend on the correct application of tapes on the abdomen. To properly taping the abdomen after childbirth it is necessary, first of all, to prepare the body for the procedure.
To do this, you need to epilate the abdomen and the upper part of the pubis. Then degrease the skin with an alcohol wipe. You need to hold the tapes in your hands to warm them up. After preparation, you can begin applying the tapes.
If the tapes are applied correctly, they will not stiffen your movements, become clumpy or get in the way. After 5-7 days, the tapes should be removed for 2-3 days.
Warning! For the first application of tapes it is better to consult a specialist to see how to do it correctly. The best effect is achieved with active physical activity.
The postpartum recoverycourse focuses on the abdominal muscles, pelvic floor, back and body workout. There is also a lot of information about proper nutrition. All this in combination allows you to restore not only the appearance of the body, but also internal health.
