FAQ

How soon can I start the rehab programme post-natal?

If you have had a straight forward birth we recommend waiting until after your 6 week check with your Doctor to start the programme. If you have had a C-Section we recommend waiting until at least 12 weeks post op and always after you have had clearance from your Doctor.

Can I do the programme if I haven't had a baby?

Yes! The rehab programme is for both men & women that experience core and/or pelvic floor dysfunction – symptoms including: low back pain, abdominal weakness or doming, incontinence, pelvic pressure/heaviness, diastasisrecti, or prolapse. It doesn’t matter whether you have had a baby – the rehab will help to strengthen your core & pelvic floor, flatten your stomach, & restore any core dysfunction.

Will the programme help with prolapse?

Yes it can do – a vaginal prolapse usually occurs if the pelvic floor is weak and there has been an increase in intra-abdominal pressure for example - birth. The way the rehab helps to address prolapse is to strengthen your transverse abdominis and your pelvic floor muscles. Always have your Doctor or women’s health physiotherapist check a prolapse or symptoms of a prolapse before starting a rehab programme.

Will the programme help a diastasis recti?

Yes it will due to strengthening the deep core and pelvic floor muscles.

 

What equipment is needed?

The course can be done at home with minimal equipment:

  • small exercise ball – can be a small toy ball also.
  • circular resistance band or scarf etc.
  • long resistance band.
  • light to medium dumbbells (you can use items from around your house instead – eg water bottle.)
  • Chair
