Return to Exercise Postpartum
Childbirth is huge. For up to 9 months, your body is changing, your pelvic floor has pressure placed down on it and your core is impacted…THEN there is the delivery at the end.
Whether you have a c-section birth or a vaginal birth, both of these place a massive strain and challenge on the body and mind. Every woman should undertake rehabilitation after having a baby, and the return to exercise should be gradual.
Before jumping back into pre-pregnancy exercise, we need to look at strengthening the “building blocks”. The building blocks includes core and pelvic floor strength and posture correction exercises. Then looking at addressing any areas of tightness or weakness throughout the body that may have adopted a new movement pattern throughout your pregnancy. From here we gradually increase the load and intensity of exercise.
If you’d like general guidance as to what kinds of exercise is appropriate/recommended after having your baby, please come and join us at our upcoming seminar. We are yet to set a date (coming soon), however please register your interest below and we will provide you with more information.
We are also happy to provide our talk at your workplace, with the talk being to your staff or clientele. Again, please register your interest below.
