Becoming a mother is a beautiful, transformative journey, but it’s no secret that childbirth changes your body in profound ways. As a pelvic floor physiotherapist, yoga teacher, and lactation consultant, I’ve had the privilege of supporting countless women as they navigate postpartum recovery. One thing I’ve learned? Rebuilding your core strength is not just about aesthetics—it’s about reclaiming your foundation for movement, strength, and confidence.
Your core is more than just your abs. It’s a dynamic system that includes the pelvic floor, diaphragm, deep abdominal muscles, and back muscles. Pregnancy and childbirth can weaken these structures, leading to issues like:
Lower back pain: A weak core leaves your spine vulnerable.
Postural changes: Shifts in alignment during pregnancy can linger postpartum, affecting your body mechanics.
Pelvic floor dysfunction: Conditions like incontinence and pelvic pain often stem from an unsupported core.
The good news? With the right approach, you can restore strength, alignment, and function. That’s where the Mama Core Restore Program comes in.
Our program is designed to:
Rebuild pelvic floor and abdominal strength: Gentle yet effective exercises target deep muscles, supporting recovery from issues like diastasis recti and incontinence.
Realign your spine: Postural corrections help reduce back pain and improve movement patterns.
Enhance overall body mechanics: By restoring core stability, you’ll feel more confident in daily activities—whether it’s picking up your baby or returning to favorite workouts.
The journey to core restoration is about consistency and care. It’s not about rushing back to pre-baby fitness levels but about creating a foundation for long-term health. Many moms share that these exercises not only strengthened their bodies but also gave them a renewed sense of empowerment.
The postpartum period is often described as the “fourth trimester,” and for good reason. It’s a time of healing, adjustment, and discovery. As a mother myself, I understand how overwhelming it can feel, especially when it comes to recovery. That’s why I created the Mama Core Restore Program—to provide women with the tools and support they need during this pivotal time. Let’s dive into some of the most common questions I hear about postpartum recovery.
Postpartum recovery involves so much more than just "bouncing back." Through targeted exercises and therapy, you can address:
Incontinence: Many women experience bladder leaks after childbirth, but pelvic floor strengthening can restore control.
Pelvic pain: Pain during intercourse or daily activities is often linked to weak or tight pelvic floor muscles.
Diastasis Recti: This separation of abdominal muscles is common, but proper exercises can help bring them back together.
Our program is built on years of expertise and a deep understanding of postpartum bodies. Here’s what it offers:
Customized exercises: Tailored to your recovery stage, these exercises are safe and effective.
Expert guidance: With me and our team of specialists, you’ll have access to evidence-based strategies.
Community support: You’ll connect with other moms who understand your journey.
Every recovery is unique, but most women can begin gentle pelvic floor exercises within days of delivery (with their provider’s approval). The Mama Core Restore Program includes options for every stage of recovery, so you can start when you’re ready.
I’ve seen women transform not just physically but emotionally. One mom shared how she went from feeling disconnected from her body to embracing it with pride after completing the program. Another found relief from years of pelvic pain after just a few weeks of targeted exercises. These stories remind me why this work matters.
The pelvic floor is one of the most overlooked yet essential parts of postpartum recovery. It’s the foundation of your core, supporting your bladder, bowel, and uterus. After childbirth, this group of muscles often needs targeted care to recover fully. As a pelvic floor physiotherapist, I’ve seen firsthand how transformative pelvic floor therapy can be for new moms.
Childbirth—whether vaginal or cesarean—can strain or weaken the pelvic floor. Without proper care, this can lead to:
Incontinence: Leaking urine or stool is common but not normal and can be treated.
Prolapse: A feeling of heaviness or bulging in the vaginal area occurs when pelvic organs shift due to weakened support.
Pain: Discomfort during intercourse or daily activities often stems from tight or weakened pelvic floor muscles.
Pelvic floor therapy is at the heart of our program. Here’s how it works:
Assessment and Education: We start by helping you understand your pelvic floor—what it’s doing well and where it needs support.
Targeted Exercises: From kegels to release work, we guide you through movements that rebuild strength and flexibility.
Integration with Daily Life: Learn how to engage your pelvic floor during activities like lifting, carrying, and even sneezing.
Women who commit to pelvic floor therapy often report:
Improved bladder and bowel control.
Reduced risk of prolapse or relief from existing prolapse symptoms.
Enhanced sexual health and comfort.
A Path to Empowered Recovery
Rebuilding after childbirth is a journey of strength, patience, and care. Whether you’re focused on core restoration, addressing postpartum challenges, or exploring pelvic floor therapy, remember that your recovery is valid and worth investing in.
