Postpartum Exercise: 3 red flags to watch for 👀

🚩 Doming or coning along the midline of your abdomen = stress and weakening of the central tendon (linea alba) where your abdominal muscles meet → diastasis recti

🚩 Flaring of the lower ribs = loss of core engagement. You’re no longer switching on your “natural corset” to protect your lower back

🚩 Lower abdomen sticking out when you engage your core = your core isn’t engaging uniformly → downward pressure into the pelvic cavity → can aggravate pelvic organ prolapse

➡️ if you notice any of these, stop or modify the exercise and talk to your trainer and your health practitioner, so you can safely enjoy the benefits of exercise.

You grew a full human being for about 9 months.

You birthed your baby.

And since then, your body has been carrying your little one as they grow bigger and heavier every day, often on broken sleep.

To all the mums out there: I love that you bring your babies in for treatment. 👶🥰

I’d love for you to give your body some support too. After all, it went through pregnancy and birth as well. 🤍

Movement IS health.

And sometimes for it to happen, we’ ve got to play with a version of it that looks different from what we are used to.

And it’s alright 💗

There are many seasons in life. 🌱
For some, it might be the season of little ones running around the house. For others, a time focused on healing an injury or illness, or overcoming a particular challenging time of life.

Movement can continue to happen when we are ok about composing with what we get access to at the time.

Car seats in the car 🚗 = great for your baby’s safety 💕

Car seats outside the car 🏡 = not so great to walk around.

They are bulky and heavy. 😓They tend to make you lean on one side when you carry them.

😕 Not the best for the carrier’s back, especially for postpartum moms who are just starting to regain their core strength.

👶 and for babies: getting out of their capsule gives them the space to move their body freely, explore movements, feel close to you, sleep without being stuck in a flexed position, and look at the world all around them.

Comment “yes” if you agree. ☺️

Perimenopause is a normal biological transition. For some, that doesn’t make it any less of a tsunami. 🌊

Like puberty, this time of life can feel like a roller coaster as hormones fluctuate dramatically until they reach their new baseline.

What does that mean: “caring for yourself the way you wish you could look after your teenage self?”

That can mean:
• protect her sleep
• nourish her well
• teach her to rest
• encourage her to move
• surround her with supportive people
• embrace the changes in her body
• love herself 🤍

How would you make her feel cared for?🤔
