Jen and Bethany sit down with Dr. Lashonda Jones, a Doctor of Physical Therapy specializing in c-section rehab and recovery, to talk about her journey from as a PT who is a passionate advocate for postpartum care. After facing her own challenging recoveries, first from a vaginal birth and later from an unplanned C-section, Dr. Jones saw firsthand the gaps in support, education, and resources for new moms.

In this episode, Dr. Jones shares:

• The personal experiences that inspired her to focus on c-section recovery

• How she developed her C-section Rehab Protocol to help moms prepare for surgery and recover safely

• Practical, evidence-based tips for early mobility, handling stairs, getting in and out of bed, and the importance of lying flat

• Strategies to prevent the C-section shelf and improve scar healing

• Why hospital-based physical therapy should be a standard part of postpartum care

From mobility and pain management to scar care and returning to exercise, this conversation is packed with actionable advice for moms and a call to action for better postpartum rehabilitation in our healthcare system.

Whether you're preparing for a planned C-section, recovering from surgery, or supporting someone who is, you'll walk away with knowledge, validation, and a reminder that you deserve comprehensive postpartum care.
