Just had a baby and not sure where to start on your healing? 🤔😕
We hear a lot of talk about healing your pelvic floor, but also making sure your abs are recovering and you are closing your diastasis recti (abdominal separation). What is more important? Is one more important? Where do I start? 🤷🏼♀️ It can feel overwhelming!
Pelvic floor and abdominal healing is all about PRESSURE MANAGEMENT 💨 We will say it every day as often as we need to so the people in the back know!! 🗣️🗣️
If we begin our recovery by overloading the abdominals to focus on ab healing that puts a lot of PRESSURE on our 360 core system. Later on, in our healing, this is great! This will help us strengthen our core! 💪🏻
But before we add pressure we need to make sure our 360 system (including our pelvic floor) can HANDLE this pressure! That means working on getting that pelvic floor to contract, relax, and reduce unnecessary tension so the base of our system can handle that increased pressure load. 😰
Without having a functional pelvic floor, this increased pressure can lead to pain, leaking, tension, or prolapse.
So make sure you are working on that PELVIC FLOOR before adding progressive core work to your recovery! 🏋🏼♂️
Not sure where to start? We still have 1 more spot in our Winter Postpartum Fitness + Recovery Series starting January 6 in Kelowna BC!! DM or email to snag the last spot ‼️
