Pelvic Floor Check-Up and Return to Exercise
Clearance from your GP and or Obstetrician at your 6 week check up does not mean your body is ready to return to all types of exercise. Pelvic Floor rehabilitation is very important to reduce the risk of urinary incontinence and prolapse. Just as an injured calf would require rehab before returning to running, your pelvic floor deserves the same care.
Assessment of the pelvic floor and abdominal wall is ideally performed at 6 weeks postpartum. Your Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist will take a comprehensive history and conduct a thorough assessment of your pelvic floor, abdominal muscles and movement patterns. Your Physiotherapist will then advise you on the condition of your pelvic floor, provide you with an individualised recovery plan and advise you on your readiness to recommencing exercise.

Clinical Pilates and supervised exercise is proven to be a safe and an effective way for Postnatal women to exercise and enhance their recovery.
