Pregnancy
&
Post Natal
Staying fit and strong during pregnancy is one of the best things you can do for your body. A well functioning core and pelvic floor will support you through pregnancy, labour and postnatal recovery.
Diastasis Recti (abdominal separation) is common and not something something to fear, however the right exercise and modifications are important to strengthen your abdominal muscles and reduce severity of diastasis.
In our sessions, there will be a strong focus on maintaining and improving core strength along with full body strength to support not only your body during pregnancy and postpartum but also your long term health and performance.
Your pelvic floor doesn’t just need to be strong, it also needs the ability to relax, which is key for labour and recovery.
After birth pelvic floor dysfunction can be common, consider seeing a women’s health physiotherapist around 6–8 week post birth.
Pregnancy shifts your posture and alignment, so a focus on mobility and full body strength to help realign your body is needed. In our sessions we’d focus on functional movements like squats, deadlifts, and rows.
Make rebuilding your body a priority, if future pregnancies are on the cards for you or you would like to return to exercise and be strong then future proof your body and rebuild the foundations again!
