Pregnancy and Postpartum is a special time for women that their body goes through various emotional and physical changes.
After birth, you might be wondering what your body is going through, whether it is the right time to return back to your fitness routine, what is the next step to healing your body, and so on.
This Postpartum Restoration Program is designed to guide you through all the physical changes that your body has experienced and how you can restore your body safely. It teaches you to focus on what is happening from within your body, so you are not just fixated on your physical appearance.
After birth, the body needs proper care to facilitate recovery from physical changes that your body has gone through. It is important to get your body assessed and check if you have any condition of diastasis recti (abdominal separation). Many women rush to get back to their “before baby body” by doing heavy exercises and cardio which can cause chronic pains or discomfort in the long term if the body is not healed from birth.
Following the initial care, Postpartum Recovery Program will help you to regain deep abdominal and pelvic floor strength to help support your lower back, following the demands of pregnancy & birth, along with managing a newborn (feeding, lifting, bending) and daily activities.
This program will teach you to listen, understand, and re-connect with your body as you exercise!
