Welcome to 'Movement Mythbusters Week' where we will be setting the record straight about certain movement myths!

Myth #1 - “Rest Is Best When You're in Pain”

Postpartum recovery is about more than “bouncing back.”

Pregnancy and birth can change posture, strain your back, weaken your pelvic floor and reduce core stability. A Biokineticist works with new moms to rebuild strength safely improving posture, easing discomfort and supporting energy.

👶 You care for your baby - we’ll help you care for your body.

Welcome to 'Move to Improve' week!
