Did you know:

That at one year postpartum, without any rehab program, the six-pack muscles are significantly thinner and weaker in both strength and endurance when compared to women of the same age, without any former pregnancies?
That during pregnancy and postpartum, it is significantly harder to coordinate the contraction of both your deep core muscles with your kegel muscles?
That your pelvic floor is considered a core muscle and contributes to the formation of the inner core unit?
That when you kegel or contract your pelvic floor muscles your abdominal muscles fire automatically

Returning to exercise postpartum can be intimidating and overwhelming, especially with a diagnosis of diastasis or pelvic organ prolapse.

Get reacquainted with your body and the strength of your deep core, postpartum.
Equip yourself with the skills to self-monitor and know when a specific exercise is right for you.
Reintroduce familiar exercises with confidence
Get back to your favourite form of movement without symptoms such as, doming of the abdominal wall, bladder leakage and pelvic pressure or pain.
