Postpartum exercise myths we’re leaving behind 👋
• Myth 1: Your 6-week clearance means you can go back to pre-pregnancy workouts.
👉 It simply means healing is progressing — not that your body is fully ready for high impact or heavy load.
• Myth 2: You just need to do Kegels.
👉 The pelvic floor needs coordination, relaxation, and strength — not just endless squeezing.
• Myth 3: Postpartum recovery is all about abs.
👉 Real core work includes breathing, pressure management, diaphragm work, pelvic floor, glutes, back, and deep core — not just crunches.
• Myth 4: Stop all core work if you have diastasis recti.
👉 The right core training actually helps improve function and support healing.
• Myth 5: Prolapse or pelvic floor dysfunction is something you just have to live with.
👉 With proper rehab, education, and training, many symptoms can significantly improve.
Postpartum bodies deserve education, progression, and support — not outdated advice. 💛
