🤔 Often, post-natal women are advised to wait until they are 6 weeks post pregnancy before they can start exercising.
✅ Exercise is very important for muscle strength, conditioning, and general health.
✅ There are many things in our daily life including carrying/ lifting baby, pushing a pram with groceries, carrying a capsule or managing more than one child that require strength.
🚨 It is VERY important to have a post-natal assessment at 6 weeks to assist in guiding your safe return to exercise.
✅ However, until then, here are a number of safe exercises can you do in the first 6 weeks after giving birth.
These include:
➡️ Pelvic Tilts
➡️ Modified Squats
➡️ Calf Raises
➡️ Modified lunges
➡️ Stretches such as thread the needle, bow and arrow and chest openers
➡️ Clams
➡️ Bridges
🚨 Also, please note, if you are experiencing any bladder leakage, vaginal heaviness, abdominal doming or pain or discomfort it is important to stop exercising and see your doctor and women’s health physiotherapist.
