Early Postpartum Prepare to Move Program

This 6 week, early postpartum program is designed for women who have recently given birth as a prerequisite to return to exercise or sport.

There is a huge gap between pre-pregnancy training, pregnancy, childbirth, recovery from childbirth, and then a woman's clearance to return to exercise.

This program begins with the foundations of breathing and learning a proper diaphragm breath, prioritizing rest, and mobility appropriate for the first 2 weeks postpartum.

The second week introduces short distance walking and teaches signs and symptoms to pay attention to as you progress through the program.

At the 3-6 week mark, you'll continue focusing on rest, breathing, and mobility and begin more movements focused on the core, pelvic floor, glutes, shoulders and major muscle groups. As the weeks progress, you'll move through a variety of movement patterns and variations while focused on controlled and intentional movement to regain connection to your muscles.

You'll learn about pelvic floor physical therapy, diastasis recti, pelvic floor dysfunction and how to advocate for yourself at your early postpartum follow up visit too.
