What to Expect

Our first session is all about getting to know you and setting the scene for the next 6 weeks. We will begin upstairs where you can chat to the other mums share experiences (If you wish) and together we can discuss your health aims and fitness goals.

The exercise session will be 45 minutes to an hour long and we begin with mobility, postural corrective exercises and pelvic floor rehabilitation before progressing on to strength and conditioning, multi directional movement patterns and eventually dynamic locomotive exercises.

💞 Assess your abdominal tone, tension and pressure

💞 Re-establish postural alignment

💞 Restore balance through movement strength and fitness training

💞 Reconnect breathing, pelvic floor, back and abs to regain strength

💞 Rediscover the value of nutrition to aid postnatal recovery
