When and how should you exercise after pregnancy? What should you avoid?
What about kegels?
How do you know when your body is ready to get back to activities like running? When is it better to stick to a bike, to walking, or to an elliptical?
What should we keep in mind when breastfeeding and babywearing to avoid injury and to speed healing?
What are some basics of anatomy that every mom needs to understand about her changed body?
What exactly is fascia, and why should we care?
Included in the presentation will be discussion of:
pelvic floor dysfunction
abdominal separation (diastasis recti)
scar issue (c-section, appendix and others)
as well as:
posture
alignment
strengthening exercises
Children are welcome to attend, but you may want to bring some coloring books or extra toys -- quiet toys only, please -- to supplement what we will have available.
