There is a serious problem with postpartum care in America. What is it you ask? There is none! At least not the kind and amount that women should be getting after birth. Pregnancy is a long 9-month journey of hormonal, postural, muscular, and functional changes. Then you birth a baby, an event that stresses your entire system causing hormonal changes, physical changes, and possibly mental changes.
It’s inconceivable that women can just rest for 6 weeks and then “bounce back” to normal functional activities and exercise. Taking the time to build your foundation and slowly return to high-impact exercise reduces your risk of injury, pain, and incontinence postpartum.
