Postpartum Women Workshop
This workshop is aimed at movement teachers who want a better understanding of how to better construct an exercise programme for postpartum women so that they can return to their normal routines with a fully recovered and functional body. It is imperative that both the trainer and the client understand the importance of taking time for the body to heal and recover, and to prevent problems further down the road by not jumping back into exercise at the same intensity as before pregnancy. It is so important as a trainer that one can programme for the person in front of you so they can get right back to where they were and know and understand how to do this appropriately.
As trainers, it is of utmost importance to always work within and have a clear understanding of your Scope of Practice, and when and who to refer to. It is essential to know and understand the changes and pressures that the body goes through during pregnancy and birth, how they impact on the body afterwards, and how we can safely programme for these.
In this workshop we will also cover how to access, correct and return to full function.
Breathing Diaphragm, Pelvic Floor, Core Cylinder
We will look at posture and learn how to spot common postpartum postural faults and imbalances – learning to identify what’s working and what’s not and how to safely address these.
The workshop will also cover common dysfunctions associated with pregnancy and how to address them with a tailored exercise prescription. We will cover how to identify important muscles that get turned off at this time and how to re-establish them. We will look at safe exercise progressions and time frames, and when and how to reintroduce movement and the intensity. We will also identify the most pertinent screening questions to ask and best approaches.
The workshop will go through an inventory of exercises and how to perform them.
