When to progress from Postpartum Pelvic Floor and Core Restore?

This has got to be one of the most common questions we get from mums returning to exercise. The truth? There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. 

Every birth, postpartum recovery, and even every baby is different, meaning the right time to take the next step will vary for each mum. There are so many factors to consider, for example birth injuries but we hope this helps you feel more confident knowing when you can progress from rehab workouts into other workouts.

Returning to exercise after miscarriage / pregnancy loss

I want to tell you that each time I did exercise ‘it made me feel better’ but honestly it didn’t… not at the start anyway. At the start I would just walk on the treadmill and cry. But walking on the treadmill balling my eyes out was a start and eventually it did begin to help, it did start to give me both the physical and emotional benefits.
