Postnatal Recovery & Wellness Workshop
Postnatal Recovery & Wellbeing Workshop
Supporting your journey to motherhood and beyond
This is a stand-alone workshop that is ideally attended in the last month or so of pregnancy. It covers the physical and biological postnatal changes you will experience right after giving birth and over the first few weeks and months postpartum, as well as safe return to daily activities and exercise.
This is essentially the 7th session of our full pregnancy and childbirth education program so you do not need to attend this if you are already attending the full program.
By learning about what your body does in this process of growing and then birthing a whole little person, you will be be able to best look after yourself after your baby has finally arrived, and understand your body’s recovery needs and postnatal abilities.
We discuss the guidelines of returning to normal daily activities and exercise after pregnancy and childbirth to ensure you have the necessary knowledge to do these things safely while looking after yourself and your body.
Content includes –
- How your body has changed immediately after birth, in particular, your pelvic floor, abdominals and therefore pelvic stability
- How to look after your pelvic floor immediately following birth and in the early postnatal weeks while regaining its strength and endurance
- Abdominal separation and how to care for and reduce it
- Postural exercises to combat poor posture that often results from the physical demands of being a new mum
- Realistic expectations, safe recommendations and guidelines for returning to daily activities and exercise postnatally
