Postnatal Pilates

Descriere

A postnatal recovery program aimed at all mothers, offering a Pilates regimen based on up-to-date research on pelvic floor and abdominal healing. This is a straight-talking, woman-to-woman postnatal recovery guide with a twist: based around Pilates fundamentals and a progressive Pilates program tailored for postnatal recovery, this book will enable women to establish good posture and breathing habits for life as well as rebuilding strength after birth. Pelvic floor dysfunction is a real issue, affecting 75% of women in their lifetime. We have a culture of suffering in silence, and currently many women simply accept postnatal issues such as pelvic floor weakness and abdominal separation, which can be a cause of pain, embarrassment and mental health problems. Postnatal Pilates is a guide to taking control of postnatal recovery, empowering women with robust information and techniques to take their recovery into their own hands, as well as providing essential signposts on when to seek professional guidance.
