Postpartum bodies don’t need fixing - They need rebuilding 💪
When I coach new mums, my focus isn’t on “getting your body back”.
It’s on restoring the systems that pregnancy, birth and early motherhood place the most demand on.
There are a few key priorities in postpartum re-strengthening and they all work together…
First, breathing and core function.
Pregnancy changes how the diaphragm, deep core and pelvic floor work as a team. Before we chase intensity, we re-establish that connection so the body can create stability from the inside out.
Next, glute strength and activation.
Glutes are essential for pelvic and lower-back support, efficient movement and load sharing. When they’re underactive, the lower back, hips and knees tend to overwork. Rebuilding glute strength helps protect the body in everyday tasks like lifting, carrying and walking.
Then, posture and upper-back strength.
Feeding, holding and rocking a baby often pull the body forward. Strengthening the upper back and posterior shoulders helps counteract this, reducing neck and shoulder tension and improving overall alignment.
Finally, full-body strength and confidence.
The goal isn’t isolated exercises. It’s helping mums feel capable in their bodies again. Squatting, hinging, pushing, pulling and carrying with confidence, because that’s real life ❤️
Postpartum training isn’t about rushing.
It’s about restoring function, rebuilding strength and creating a body that feels supported, not stressed.
Strong foundations first. Everything else comes after.
