You’ve been lied to about postpartum recovery 🤍🚫
“Six weeks and you’re cleared!” they say ⏱️
As if your body just magically returns to its pre-pregnancy state ✨
As if nine months of massive physical transformation 🤰 and the most intense event of your life 💥 can be undone in 42 days…
The reality is this 👇
6 weeks postpartum is when your uterus has shrunk back 🫶 and bleeding has (mostly) stopped.
That’s it.
It is NOT when:
❌ Your pelvic floor is fully restored
❌ Your core has reconnected
❌ Your nervous system has regulated 🧠
❌ Your hormones have rebalanced 🧬
❌ Your spine has realigned 🦴
❌ You’ve actually healed
ACTUAL postpartum recovery?
🕰️ 6–12+ months… sometimes longer.
And here’s what your body truly needs during that time 👇
✨ 1. Nervous System Support (3–6 months minimum)
You spent 9 months with elevated stress hormones ⚡ and then went through the most physically intense experience of your life. Your nervous system needs help shifting out of survival mode and into healing—supporting hormone regulation, deep recovery, and resilience 🌿
✨ 2. Physical Balance (3–12 months)
Your pelvis expanded 🦴, your spine curved forward, your ribs flared, your organs shifted, and your ligaments stretched. None of that just “snaps back.”
Regular chiropractic adjustments help restore balance, support core reconnection, and prevent chronic pain patterns from setting in 💪
✨ 3. Hormone Rebalancing (6–18 months)
Estrogen and progesterone plummet 📉. Prolactin surges if you’re breastfeeding 🤱. Oxytocin floods 💕 and cortisol tries to regulate. These massive shifts affect sleep 😴, mood 💭, energy 🔋, weight, and healing capacity. Nervous system care helps your body navigate this transition naturally.
The 6-week mark isn’t the finish line 🏁
It’s barely the starting line.
You didn’t “bounce back.”
You TRANSFORMED ✨
Your body performed miracles—and it deserves time, support, and care to heal properly 🤍🌱
