Tips for shallow breathers! Practice breathing in the mirror, watch the hands on the ribs separate and approximate. Leave the shoulders relaxed. Allowing the pelvic floor to become comfortable with this ebb and flow will allow your pelvic floor to navigate demands like sprinting, jumping, or twisting.

Like and follow for easy postnatal tips! One of the most simple things breast feeding moms can do to avoid that back and neck pain, headaches, and neck strain! And when you account for how many hours of the day you’ll spend in this position you will want to take this tip and run with it! USE THE BOPPY PILLOW AND STOOL! You can do this in other positions too. Just make sure you’re supporting your body and supporting baby close to the breast so you don’t have to lean or hunch.

Healing your core can actually be started before you even give birth. But for the people reading this who are newly postpartum and even currently in the hospital I’m letting you know that there are safe things you can do TODAY to lay the foundation for core healing.

🌸Cyclic Breathing
🌸Diaphragmatic Breathing
🌸Toileting Habits
🌸Posture
🌸Targeted Stretches
🌸Postpartum Compression Shorts
🌸Breastfeeding if possible, and supported Position feedings for bottle or breastfeeding.

There’s more! But these are no stress, simple practices that will promote healing and get you set up for a well healed and well functioning postpartum core.

Diastasis evaluation can be done at 6 weeks. You can even do it yourself. Like and follow for more postpartum information. Stay tuned for my mini-course: Build your Body: After Baby (Bjrth to 6 weeks)

A deep core activation should not involve bearing down, pelvic tilting, abnormal lifting of the belly, contraction of larger muscle groups, breath holding, etc. It is absolutely necessary to learn how to use the Transverse Abdominus (deep core muscle) properly before advancing your fitness intensity. This is a key component of postnatal rehabilitation. Follow for more tips. Reach out to a pelvic PT for guidance on postnatal recovery.

I love the Bear Plank position (as opposed to standard plank) for advanced core training after Diastasis recovery. So much core awareness, functional position, and total body engagement.
