25.01.2022 Along with the miracle of creating and bringing a baby into the world, comes stretching, tearing and cutting of lots of ligaments, tendons and muscles. Sounds like an intense way to describe it, but thats the facts If you've done VHab you've heard it described as this before Injuries like this to any other part of the body need PROPER rehab to return to full strength and function. So its no different for your pelvic floor and core. Thankfully we don't feel the pain that o...ther body part injuries feel so that we can look after a baby instead of focus on them. (Plus we are WOMEN! ) but an injury is an injury and needs rehab with an expert. The word "Expert" is thrown around a lot these days. Do your research, as there are huge differences in "post natal expert" qualifications going around... Unfortunately it's not regulated and it's dangerous. If you want to do things right, with less injuries, pain, and risk of long term incontinence and/or prolapse, then starting rehab with Allied Health Professionals is the first steps. They undergo years and years of ongoing testing of the body, research and evidence based practice to treat every different post birth body as it needs. So, safe return to exercise looks like: 0-6 weeks: Rest, sleep as much as you’re able to, gentle movement and start to reconnect with your pelvic floor and breathing. 6-8 weeks: Wound and baby check with Doctor AND a Women’s Health Physiotherapy Pelvic floor function review 6-8 weeks to 12 weeks: Start your body's GENTLE rehab with something like V-HAB or work with your Physio. 12 weeks to onwards: Progressively increasing with a Post natal professional like Pilates, V-HAB's pelvic floor friendly Bootcamp or Strong Mums Gosford who progressively get the basics right and build you up at the pace that suits you and your journey not at the pace the rest of the class is going. 3-12months: Only once you've received clearance from a Women’s Health Physio that your Pelvic stability and strength is enough, gradually introduce jumping, running, skipping and higher intensity exercise. 6-12 months - Return to high intensity pre-pregnancy exercise, such as running, CrossFit, sports, standard Bootcamps and group gym classes. Every birth and body are different, so everyone’s return to exercise journey will be different! Where are you on your Journey!? Thinking about where to start? Start the return to strength journey clock now! Contact us or Strong Mums Gosford to get started on a safe realistic post natal journey.

06.01.2022 New mums can be vulnerable, sore, scared of prolapse and damage, and feel so far from where they want to be with their body strength and fitness (let alone exhausted!). These feelings are so normal, and yes you are far from where you were, but you've just had 9 months of building a baby. So its going to take a while to recover and build that back up. So start! And start with an Allied Health professional so that you build that core back up gently and properly. A few months from now you'll be back on the road to strong It all starts with the deep core...
