Congratulations on the new addition to your family! It is so important for all moms to get physical movement during the postnatal period. However, there is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question as the exercises that are safe for you may vary depending on your specific birth story and any physical issues you may be experiencing postnatally. A physical therapist trained in post-natal care can provide advice and exercises that are tailored to your current strength levels and impairments evaluated in your new mom body. The assessment should screen the entire body, with a special focus on the core, hips, and pelvic floor regions. A good post-natal PT will support you in returning to all physical activity safely in the weeks to months after giving birth. From walking, swimming, and running to yoga, Pilates, and weight training, it is important to find the activity that is right for you and fits into your current level of abilities. With guidance from your PT and by taking precautions such as listening to your body, you can safely start exercising! As always, if you have significant concerns or you are not sure if you have any limitations to returning to certain activities, it is safest to consult your doctor about what limitations there may be and what is the best course of treatment for you.
