You do not need to wait six weeks to start your restorative exercises! Protecting yourself and managing your issues, so they don’t get worse, begins from birth.  As long as you don’t have a catheter in, you can start the Restore Program as soon as you feel up to it. You don’t need to wait for your six week check. This is because from the day you give birth, you are engaging in functional movement. Whether that’s getting out of bed or picking your baby up from the floor. Learning safe ways to do these functional, daily movements and build your strength at the same time, is key to ensuring you don’t cause yourself injury in the postpartum period.  So, if you feel up to starting the restore program at two weeks postpartum or would like to wait a few months, that is up to you. Please take it sloooooooow and stay on a module for as long as you need. If you progress and it doesn’t feel right, take it back a module. Pain is your body’s way of saying “hello, something isn’t ok here”. Please listen to your body and see a health professional if you are concerned. You can find some epic health care providers in my directory.  If you are finding your postpartum period particularly difficult, or would like to chat about your individual pelvic floor, prolapse or core, you can book in a one-one-one session with B to chat through a safe plan and answer any questions you might have.
