190- Hysterectomy Recovery // What No One Tells You About Healing Your Core & Pelvic Floor After Surgery

A hysterectomy is one of the most common surgeries women undergo — yet so many women are sent home with very little guidance on how to actually heal, rebuild strength, and reconnect with their body afterward.

If you’ve ever felt weak, disconnected, tight, unstable, or unsure how to safely return to movement after a hysterectomy… this episode is for you.

In this conversation, Dr. Des breaks down what really happens to the core, pelvic floor, scar tissue, and nervous system after surgery, why being “cleared” doesn’t always mean fully healed, and the key things women should understand when it comes to long-term recovery.

Because hysterectomy recovery is about so much more than just the incision healing.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• What actually needs to heal after a hysterectomy

• Common symptoms women experience after surgery

• Why scar tissue and pressure management matter

• The role of the core, breath, and pelvic floor in recovery

• What women are often not told about rehab

• How to safely rebuild strength and confidence

• Why rest alone is not the full answer

Why This Matters

Many women are told to simply wait six weeks and slowly return to normal activity — but true healing often requires more support, guidance, and intentional rehabilitation.

With the right approach, women can improve strength, reduce symptoms, feel more connected to their body, and return to movement with greater confidence.

This whole-body approach to healing is exactly what we focus on inside the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App and RESTORE, where women are guided through breathwork, mobility, strength, and pelvic floor-friendly progression designed to support real-life recovery.
