Baby & Me Early Postpartum Rehab Series
This class series is for mothers who had a vaginal or Cesarean birth, anywhere from 0-6 weeks postpartum, who want to reconnect with their new bodies while bonding with their newborns, building core and pelvic floor strength, respecting their early recovery after birth, and meeting other mothers.
Each session involves breathwork, gentle full-body strengthening exercises, and stretches to help mothers feel more comfortable and strong during early recovery. This class will also provide mothers with practical tools on how to gauge their symptoms and modify activity as needed to prevent overactivity and excessive postpartum bleeding (lochia). Exercise modifications will be provided to tailor to attendees who may be earlier on in recovery, and tactile cuing will be given as needed.
**If one is experiencing any significant pelvic floor or spinal pain, abdominal pain outside of uterine involution, hip pain, or bladder or bowel symptoms, a one-on-one initial evaluation with a pelvic floor physical therapist is highly recommended to receive an individualized program.

What are some benefits of starting Intentional movement during early postpartum recovery?
❋ Gentle, intentional movement can help you reconnect with your pelvic floor, core, and your whole new body after the many changes it has gone through during pregnancy and childbirth. Establishing this foundation and coordination early on will carry over to when you begin more structured exercise and activity as your postpartum bleeding subsides.
❋ Performing gentle movement can help release stiffness and tension throughout your body to counteract prolonged resting positions typically recommended during early recovery.
❋ You learn how to brace your core, pelvic floor, and manage pressure during day to day activities such as getting out of bed, picking up your newborn, and moving around your home.
❋ Gentle movement can increase circulation to minimize the risk of blood clots and encourage blood flow to healing areas.
❋ The important point is that we want to prioritize connection with your new body. What the series is NOT about is performing intense workouts with the intent of losing weight and bouncing back to where you were prior to pregnancy.Pricing
