Pregnancy Recovery

Caring for a mother while she is pregnant is something our healthcare system does very well.  However, what to do after the baby is delivered? Not so much.

• Regaining strength, power, stability, and endurance after pregnancy is really hard work and the recovery takes time.  It is not as simple as just “losing the baby weight”. 
• Your abdominal and pelvic floor muscles have elongated considerably and need to be re-trained specifically, the ligaments through the pelvic girdle expanded, some form of delivery occurred which may have resulted in incisions and stitching, and your endurance declined as you were not able to be as active, especially in the last trimester and right after delivery. 
• In this course, you will start off in the first lesson by completing a series of self-screens to see if you have a complete or incomplete checklist for the “must haves” in order to exercise with low injury risk.  This checklist will turn into your personalized report card to keep track of the range of motion, strength, mobility, endurance, and coordination that are required to regain your strength and power after delivery.
• In the following three lessons you will learn strategies for how to fill in your missing gaps.
• You will end the course having built an individualized program to help you rebuild your body after pregnancy.  It is possible!
• Cost is $25/ class for the 4 week-series. The entire series must be paid for in advance to participate totaling $100 
• This course is TBD to be released to watch from the comfort of your own home on your own time.
