It is quite common for belly birthing mothers to feel sore, weak, and fearful to move following this procedure. However, reconnecting to the area and waking up the tissue are two of the most important things to do following caesarean delivery.

After the whirlwind of birth and the first few weeks of newborn care, it is critical to have the space to acknowledge and understand how this process has affected you personally to enable optimal recovery postpartum and a safe return to activity and life with a new baby.

What about the “The Gap”? Is always a commonly asked question during pregnancy and in the post-natal period.

I thought it would be good to look at what is normal and what is involved in assessment and treatment.

This is most common question asked by women I see while pregnant and also after having their baby.  There is a lot of focus about returning to exercise post baby. 

Knowing what is normal and what is not normal in your post natal recovery is important.  Here at Embody Movement we can help guide you through this process.
