Ep#61: What You Need to Know in Early Postpartum Rehabilitation

Listen Later

As a new mom, we want to return to our usual physical activities too soon after delivering the baby but it is not possible as we are still recovering with the changes in our body. How can new moms recover effectively after pregnancy, get healthy, and return to normal activities with their families? How can you navigate the early stage of motherhood with mindfulness and gentle movement to recover faster? 

 

This week’s Empower Your Pelvis Podcast, Dr. Amanda Fisher will talk about how postpartum recovery and rehabilitation helps new mothers to fully recover effectively following pregnancy and childbirth delivery. She will also discuss how you can reconnect with your core and pelvic floor as you start to heal the process of postpartum recovery, and get ready to return to enjoying a happy, healthy lifestyle with your family. 

 

I will touch on such topics as: 

  • In the postpartum realm, Physical Therapists don’t see patients or referrals for postpartum patients until around the patient’s six to eight week mark.
  • Patients may not feel or experience any symptoms, but if they went through an internal exam they will see some changes with their body. 
  • Postpartum rehabilitation, especially within the pelvic floor realm, is not just about the core. It is all about full body functioning activities.
  • Do not compare yourself to anybody you see in social media. 
  • What are the missing pieces in your body that need to be modified, especially after your body was stretched nine months ago? 
  • Always remember that everybody's body heals differently. 
  • Your pre-baby body was maybe a competitor and an athlete, and you are still an athlete more than ever as a mom - but we need to take in consideration the healing side and what you're doing as a mom and how to make your body work best for you. 
  • You have to acknowledge that there is a lot to heal from pregnancy and birth, regardless of your birth.
