What’s actually happening down there?
So here’s the sciencey bit—but I’ll keep it in plain English.
During the birth process, especially in vaginal or surgical births, the tissues in the vaginal canal and surrounding pelvic floor are stretched. Muscles can weaken. Ligaments loosen. Your internal support system takes a hit.
And despite what you might’ve heard at your six-week postpartum visit, things don’t always return to normal—no matter how many Kegels you do at the traffic lights.
This change (often called vaginal laxity) can lead to:
- Reduced sensation during intimacy
- A feeling of looseness or heaviness
- Mild urinary incontinence (the dreaded wee-sneeze combo)
- A knock to your confidence
You’re not alone. In fact, the vast majority of women experience these symptoms—but it’s a hidden impact of the healing process that we rarely talk about openly.
So… can anything actually help?
Absolutely.
At Oracle Clinics, we use EmpowerRF—an advanced, non-surgical treatment that supports the healing journey following childbirth, ageing, or menopause. This discreet, professional platform combines radiofrequency energy and electrical muscle stimulation to target internal tissues, enhance sensation, and restore vaginal tone.
EmpowerRF is often a key part of our holistic approach to postpartum care and maternal health, offering a no-hormone, no-downtime solution that truly works.
Think of it as a personalised gym session for your internal support network—minus the Lycra, the smug instructor, and the sweat.
But isn’t it a bit… awkward?
I get it—the thought might feel awkward. But the treatment itself? Not in the slightest.
It’s carried out in a confidential, respectful setting by a fully trained medical professional who understands the emotional and physical impact of birth trauma, traumatic birth experiences, and the emotional experiences that follow.
Whether you’ve experienced a difficult birth, birth injury, or just feel “not quite right” after your experiences during childbirth, this is a space where you’ll be heard—not hurried.
You won’t be judged. You won’t be brushed off. And you definitely won’t be told it’s “just part of being a mum.”
You deserve to feel confident—inside and out.
This isn’t about vanity.
It’s about restoring your sense of self, intimacy, and trust in your body after one of life’s most physically demanding events.
It’s about taking an active role in your recovery process. About recognising that while many pregnant women are told they’ll achieve a “complete recovery,” the reality is more complex.
This treatment helps bridge the gap between what we’re told and what we actually experience.
Curious? Let’s chat.
If any of this resonates with you—if you’re quietly nodding while crossing your legs—let’s have an open, pressure-free chat.
Book a confidential consultation and I’ll walk you through exactly how this works, whether it’s suitable for you, and how it fits into a supportive, personal approach to healing.
Because you’ve spent long enough taking care of everyone else.
Now it’s time to take care of you.
