Women's Health - Post Partum for Life

Osteoporosis | Post Breast Cancer | Post Partum for Life | Female Urinary Incontinence

This program will provide you with the education necessary to restore the strength and stability of your low back and pelvis after having your baby.

Ideally you should wait eight weeks after delivery to receive treatment for the above. However, many of our clients have realized that the benefit is still available eight years or more later - which is why we call our program POST PARTUM FOR LIFE.

How are we going to teach you?

The education will be both instructional (discussion) and physical (exercise). The information we will give you will include:

1. A description of the anatomy of the bones, joints and muscles of your low back and pelvis.

2. A discussion on how the low back and pelvis function during lifting, carrying, walking etc.

3. A discussion on how pregnancy changes the ability of the low back and pelvis to perform these tasks well (stability of your core).

4. Why it is essential to regain stabilization of your back and pelvis to avoid chronic low back and pelvic pain and to avoid prolapsed of your uterus (requiring hysterectomy) and bladder incontinence (leaking urine) in future years.

Isolate your deep abdominals which have been stretched and make them strong again (flat stomachs!)

Retrain your stretched and perhaps torn pelvic floor muscles (it takes more than a Kegel)

How to progress your exercise program effectively and properly.
