Postnatal Pelvic Floor Essentials
Connect.
Heal.
Strengthen.
Healing your pelvic floor after birth is one of the most important things you can do for your postpartum recovery. A strong pelvic floor will help reduce symptoms of incontinence and prolapse and optimize your postnatal recovery. As a physio-led program, we are passionate about helping you to heal your pelvic floor safely and confidently after birth.
Why is your Pelvic Floor so important?
No matter how you gave birth, your postpartum recovery starts with your pelvic floor!
Your pelvic floor is a combination of muscles, ligaments, and fascia within the pelvic bowl. It acts like a hammock or sling to support your bowel, bladder, and uterus. During a vaginal birth, the pelvic floor has to stretch up to 3 times its normal length. So, healing this group of muscles after birth is incredibly important.
The pelvic floor is responsible for:
- Supporting the organs of the pelvis during rest and whilst moving.
- Maintaining continence.
- Increasing pleasure and sensation during sex.
What is the EMP approach to Pelvic Floor Exercise?
Maintaining a strong pelvic floor will help reduce your chances of experiencing long-term pelvic floor complications such as prolapse and incontinence. The Empowered Motherhood Program will help you to heal your pelvic floor after birth and feel strong and connected.
