After giving birth, it can be confusing on what you can even do to start your healing process. Do you need to wait til your six week appointment to get the all clear to start your rehab?? Absolutely not! You can start with some gentle movements that support your core reconenction and healing!

After the first two weeks, I began to progress from stationary breathing to coordinating that breathing to gentle movement. This involved floor-based core exercises that were synced to my breath. This begins the process of coordinating movement with breath, which aids in stability and is the foundation for functional movement.

When you hit week 5 you might be naturally craving more movement, but it’s so important to continue with gradual and progressive rehab rather than just jumping right into higher level exercise. Too much too soon can lead to things like prolapse, diastasis, incontinence and other pelvic floor dysfunctions.
