Postnatal Recovery

During this postnatal period there is so much going on. The ever learning of what to do for your little one, the lack of sleep, the lack of control over your body.

This is not a time for high intensity workouts, or trying to fit back into your skinny jeans. Nor is it a time for extreme diets and crazy restrictions.

This is a time to gently wake your body up and get some focussed and targeted movement into your body. By gently rebuilding your body you can gently begin the re-building process.

Here at Yummy Tummies we recognise that every person is different, every pregnancy is different and every delivery is different. It is understanding exactly where you are at and where the best starting point is for you.


Post Baby MOT

The best way to determine your starting point in the postnatal period is to have a post baby MOT. This is a 90 minute session and uses a combination of physical & lifestyle assessments to see where your body is in relation to exercise. The physical component of the assessment covers such things as:

• Pelvic floor activation
• Abdominal separation
• Pelvic alignment
• General posture and alignment of the spine
• Glute activation and pelvic stability

In general, in determines physically where your starting point for exercise is. It takes away the guesswork and makes things very precise for you.

The post baby MOT also looks at various lifestyle factors to determine what factors will influence your starting point and the ability for progression. It looks at:

• Past history of exercise
• Any pain or limiting factors
• Any areas which require further intervention from other medical practitioners (eg Women’s Health Physiotherapists)
• Food and nutrition
• Sleep patterns, looking at the quantity and quality of sleep
• Overall stress loading on the body and readiness to exercise

This way we look at your overall lifestyle and work out the best solution for you to exercise and recover in the safest possible way.

One to One Training

From this point you are taken through a graduated exercise routine starting with building the foundation of your body in the right way for you. Lifestyle modifications are also integrated into your routine bit by bit to aid you in your recovery.

Your trainer will work with you, either online or in-person to guide you, encourage you and help you move towards your specific fitness and health goals.
