❗️REHAB❗️
These videos are nothing ‘instagramable’ really.
Keeping it real with what my current movement looks like and a reminder that stripping things back to basics is never a bad thing.
Sometimes, less really is more 🙏
Video 1: Rollbacks, then with added rotation.
*Here I am focusing on really articulating my spine but also recruiting my pelvic floor & deeper ab muscles (transverse abs) first, before the upper layers as I still have some ab separation.
Video 2: Short Spine
*Focusing on controlling the movement throughout and at the end of the movement in particular, really focusing on my spine leading the way and not letting my legs take over! (Feels good for the hamstrings too!)
Both videos: Serious face 😂
Two classical exercises that right now are really helping me and supporting my recovery from C section and SI joint niggles that have resurfaced - being hypermobile and still early PP, I need to be mindful not to overstretch!
Of course there is nothing wrong with some creative flare 😍 but for me right now, keeping things simple is doing wonders for my body and I’m so grateful for this healing process🙏♥️
Side note: I think there is a lot of negativity surrounding the post partum period. And as someone who did fear it, the main things I’d say are educating yourself (honestly made my experience way less fearful) and being kind to yourself 🫶 although there are hard days, it really can be so beautiful and healing ❤️🩹
