The two months after giving birth are overwhelming to say the least. Many women are looking for a way to regain a sense of self while leaning into their new role. We often call this time “the fourth trimester”. We are still physically connected to our baby, while also feeling moments of autonomy for the first time in almost a year. This collection of videos is a gentle and measured approach to engaging with our bodies while coping with this physical transition. This is not a time for weight loss or “getting into shape”. This is a time for gentle movement that creates the foundations for a healthy core and strong back, and for making sure our first few weeks with Baby don't leave us depleted and in self-abandon.
These practices can be started the very first week after delivery. Our expert pelvic floor physical therapists have designed this approach so that you can engage in pelvic floor care without a trip to the clinic. This series is essential for pelvic floor recovery, and now you can have the resources you need from the comfort of your home.
