Postnatal recovery and training are essential for new mothers as they navigate the physical and emotional challenges following childbirth. Gábor is trained (Burrell Education and CHEK Insitute) to check for Diastasis Recti, assess and evaluate your overall physiological load. He can then create a holistic program that is right for your needs.
Here’s why Postnatal Recovery is crucial:
- Improving Alignment: Pregnancy and childbirth can cause shifts in posture and alignment due to hormonal changes and the physical demands of carrying and delivering a baby. Postnatal training focuses on realigning the body, reducing discomfort, and preventing long-term issues such as back pain.
- Supporting Mental Health: The postpartum period can be emotionally challenging for many women due to hormonal fluctuations, sleep deprivation, and the demands of caring for a newborn. Exercise has been shown to release endorphins, which can alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression, promoting better mental well-being.
- Decreasing Stress: Caring for a newborn while recovering from childbirth can be incredibly stressful. Postnatal exercise provides an outlet for stress relief, allowing mothers to focus on self-care and improving their mood.
- Reconditioning Deep Abdominal Muscles: Pregnancy can weaken the deep abdominal muscles, including the transversus abdominis, diaphragm, multifidus and pelvic floor muscles. Postnatal training incorporates exercises specifically designed to strengthen these muscles, improving core stability and preventing issues like diastasis recti (abdominal separation).
- Strengthening Skeletal Muscles: The physical demands of pregnancy and childbirth can lead to muscle weakness and imbalances. Postnatal exercises target the major muscle groups, including the arms, legs, and back, helping new mothers regain strength and functionality for daily activities and caregiving tasks.
- Promoting Overall Recovery: It promotes the body’s recovery process by enhancing circulation, speeding up healing, and restoring energy levels. This comprehensive approach to postpartum care sets the foundation for long-term health and well-being for both the mother and baby.
