Abdominal Muscles

Following pregnancy and childbirth the abdominal muscles are stretched and weakened. This is one of the reasons women experience that “saggy tummy” effect immediately after birth. Unfortunately this results in less support for the spine and pelvis; and can contribute to back or pelvic pain following delivery. When we combine stretched and weakened muscles with the physical demands of Motherhood, it is easy to see why new Mother’s can be vulnerable to injury.

The good news however, is that with the right advice and care you can strengthen this area, ensuring increased support and stability for your back, and improved appearance of this region. You may be interested to know that we no longer recommend sit-ups or curl ups post-pregnancy. These exercises can place unnecessary stress on the recovering abdominal and pelvic floor regions.
