Have you recently brought a beautiful being into the world and want guidance with specialist training in restoring your core and strengthening the rest of your body?​

After being pregnant for so long it’s very tempting to launch yourself into a madly intense exercise regime and diet to regain your pre-pregnancy shape.

​

During pregnancy the body has changed dramatically, not only on the outside but on the inside too. It’s really important to safely address these changes, realigning and rebalancing your body, and working to reconnect and restore your core strength and synergy before using any strong movements.

• Free telephone consultation to discuss your needs and what you want to achieve through personal training

• Initial consultation including breathing check, posture check, movement assessment,rectus diastasis (abdominal muscle separation) check, core synergy check and pelvic floor muscle activation using verbal feedback

• During the initial consulation we also discuss your pelvic floor health and also if you've had a c-section we discuss soreness and numbeness

• During your initial consultation we finally discuss what your movement, lifestyle or body goal is and then how to work towards it.

• If we find that you have diastasis recti or pelvic floor dysfunction this is managed carefully and depending on the severity it may involve working alongside a Woman’s Health Physiotherapist

• Depending on the information discovered during this consultation I will give you some stretches, muscle releases and initial strength/breath exercises to use to realign your body and to start strengthening your core. We work on strengthening pelvic floor as well as how to relax pelvic floor, which is just as important

• We will talk about nutrition and lifestyle and I will make small recommendations that will help you begin to heal your postnatal body

• You will learn how to use your breath to protect your body and pelvic floor when you carry out those everyday motherhood movements – lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, bending, twisting, turning, reaching, squatting, lunging, getting up, getting down.

• Exercises are progressed regularly 

• Training app used to create nutrition, habit and lifestyle reminders and deliver your personalised workout to complete in between our sessions

​

My aim is to use the information gathered in  initial consultation as a starting point for your postnatal recovery plan with each session building gently on the exercises until you are moving freely, comfortably and easily, feeling strong and full of energy. If we find that you have diastasis recti or pelvic floor dysfunction this is managed carefully and depending on the severity it may involve working alongside a Woman’s Health Physiotherapist.
