Are your looking for safe postpartum exercises?

Are you suffering from prolapse after childbirth and worried about making your prolapse worse with exercise?

Episode Part 1 – Safe Postpartum Exercises for Prolapse

Today’s podcast is all about safe postpartum exercise for women with prolapse.

In this episode I’ll be responding to this great reader question from Tracy who wrote to me asking about safe postpartum exercises for getting back in shape with her prolapse.

Tracy writes:

Hi Michelle

I have a grade 2 prolapse after 3 bubs. I’m very keen to start back exercising and flatten my mum tum but want to avoid prolapse surgery and making things worse. What can I do to get back safely? I’m seeing a Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist at the moment too

Thanks Tracy (Australia)

In answering Tracy’s question I’ll be discussing the following for women with prolapse:

• How to regain your fitness after childbirth including the best types of low impact exercises to choose and those to avoid
• The best weight loss exercises to choose and how much weight loss exercise you need to do to effectively lose weight
• Core abdominal exercises that safely tone and flatten your tummy including Pilates and fitness ball exercises
• Core abdominal exercises that potentially worsen prolapse symptoms and increase the risk of prolapase worsening
• The best resistance exercises to choose for whole body strengthening and toning
