RECLAIM YOUR STRENGTH: 6-Week Postnatal Programme for Optimal Recovery and Fitness
This bespoke 6-week postnatal programme is your ultimate guide to regaining strength and confidence after childbirth. Designed and led by our top professionals in the postnatal field, it offers a comprehensive approach to your recovery and return to exercise, ensuring safe and effective results.
This program was created for women who are at least 6 weeks postpartum and have had either a C-section or a vaginal birth. With only 4 spots available, this one-of-a-kind specialised programme offers a truly personalised experience tailored to you.
Start date: 28th February 2025
What’s included?
The programme includes two pelvic health physio appointments: one at the start to assess and guide your recovery plan, and another at the end to track progress and fine-tune results. Additionally, there are four weekly group classes focused on restoring core and pelvic floor strength, improving posture, and building long-term resilience.
What will you learn?
During this 6-week course, you will learn theoretical and practical exercises and techniques focused on optimising the health of the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles. You will be taught how to properly utilise intra-abdominal pressure during physical activities to prevent injuries. The carefully selected exercises aim to address and prevent issues such as urinary incontinence, prolapse, diastasis recti, back pain, and pelvic pain. Throughout the sessions, you will work on correcting posture, re-educating breathing techniques, controlling intra-abdominal pressure, self-therapy using myofascial therapy tools, and strengthening the core and pelvic floor.
