Remember: every birth is different and every birth recovery is different. Don't compare your recovery to others. 6 weeks is what some health professionals might say for starting, but you can't use that as a blanket start for everyone.
When you are ready to start exercising again: talk with your GP and your recovery team. They can help you find a Physiotherapist, or will let you know if it's not time to start just yet.
After starting, go slow and if you feel any pain, stop and discuss with your GP or Physiotherapist. You shouldn't experience any pain.
And remember that it's good to keep a goal in mind, but don't rush to meet it. Take as long as your body needs to adjust and check in with your care team frequently to make sure you aren't pushing yourself too soon.
If you wish to discuss how you might start: call and make an appointment with one of our Clinicians.
