This is a comprehensive guide of exercises to perform before, during, or after childbirth. The authors, who are both licensed Doctors of Physical Therapy, believe that there is a gap for how women can safely return to exercise following pregnancy. Have you complained about abdominal weakness, abdominal separation, low back pain, or pressure coming from unknown origins during or after pregnancy? If you answered yes to any of those questions, this could be the guide for you! The goal of this guide is to provide you with exercises to help strengthen your core postpartum and provide education to allow you to better understand what your body goes through, both during and after pregnancy. The guide includes education regarding anatomy/physiology, how pregnancy can affect the musculoskeletal system, toileting positions, urination normals, abdominal separation, and over thirty exercises.
