🎃 Spooky Things We See in PT 👻
Some things are scarier than ghosts and goblins… like:

💀 Ignoring pain and hoping it “just goes away”
🧟 Skipping your home exercises (we see you)
🩻 Only relying on imaging for your diagnosis
🦴 Thinking squats and deadlifts are bad for your knees or back
🕸️ Going to a PT who treats symptoms instead of finding the root cause
😱 Not trying PT first
🧙 A PT who avoids talking about sleep, nutrition, or mindset

At Refuge Physiotherapy, we believe movement shouldn’t be scary.
We look at the whole person — body, mind, and lifestyle — to help you move better and live pain-free.

Postpartum Leg Foundations!

Here are 3 exercises you can focus on do address different planes of motion, functional movements, and motor control! Dr. Maggie has been focusing on getting back to her foundation and before adding a lot of weight, restoring her ability to hold positions too (isometrics!)

1. Lateral lunges (focusing on moving into the lateral plane but also stretching those adductors out at the same time 😉)

2. Squat holds (try at least 5-10 seconds!)- Then you can add weight to it but you need to be able to stick at the bottom! Make those quads work 🥵

3. Reverse lunges- Focusing on sticking it, making it smooth, and working glutes and quads! You can add pauses with these too! Either on each one or at the end of your set!

➡️ Remember: any movement is good movement! But getting back into the basics is huge! Slow and steady wins the race- get back to the foundational movements and work your way up from there by:
🔹 Adding sets/reps
🔹 Adding in holds
🔹 Adding weight

You’ve got this mama!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

If you need help in your postpartum return to exercise, please contact us so we can help you reach your goals!! 😊
