In patients with past C-sections, hysterectomies, or other abdominal surgery scar tissue can cause both localized and referred pain patterns in the low back, hips, and ribs. Untreated scars can cause decreased mobility in the myofascial layers which are between the skin and muscle; this then contributes to that feeling that you can't take a deep breath or stretch effectively. Everyone post-surgery would benefit from scar assessment and release to soften the abdominal musculature and decrease sensitivity.
