Phase 1 - 12 week return to exercise safely - core/pelvic floor strengthening program
Beginners rehab/corrective and breathing exercises, to help heal the core and prepare the body for more advanced exercises. Reconnecting the brain with the muscles, healing any Diastases Recti, and strengthening the whole core. Suitable for a natural delivery as well as C-section.
The first stage to healing the core. A combination of breathing exercises to gain correct core function again and strengthen and tighten up the inner core. A combination of exercises will be used that gradually increase in difficulty. These exercises are linked to daily movement patterns to ensure we are moving and lifting the baby safely to support the core, the exercises cover the full body including the pelvic floor, posture, and strength.
