Post Natal Recovery & Return to Exercise Queenstown
The first 6 weeks after having your baby is an important time to rest, recover and take it all in. Many new mothers have lots of questions such as; when is it safe to return to exercise, when can I have sex again, why do things feel a little different? Women’s health physiotherapists are able to assist in your recovery from strengthening your pelvic floor and abdominal muscles to getting you back to high impact exercise and marathon running. We highly recommend you come see us 6 weeks post delivery as this can be a real game changer in terms of your recovery. The Pelvic Physio Queenstown will complete a thorough assessment on your abdominal and pelvic floor muscles and identify any changes that have occurred as a result of pregnancy, labour and delivery.
At The Pelvic Physio Queenstown we can work with you to create a graduated exercise program to ensure your back to your full potential as soon as you’re ready.
