The Changing Body of the Postpartum Mom: Safe Return to Exercise and Body Mechanics when Caring for Our Baby

Have you recently had a baby? Congrats! You may have noticed your body has gone through many changes and you do not feel like yourself. Maybe you have back pain from carrying your new bundle of joy, your abdominals feel weak from being stretched, you have a diastasis recti, or you have urinary incontinence...just to name a few. These symptoms are all common postpartum, but it does not have to be this way forever! Come join this workshop on safe return to exercise, body mechanics when caring for your baby and information on pelvic health physical therapy.

This workshop will be taught by pelvic health and orthopedic physical therapist, Dr. Abbey McErlean. Abbey has a passion for working with postpartum people and received her certification as a pregnancy and postpartum corrective exercise specialist. Additionally, she is a yoga teacher which allows her to utilize various knowledge and passions to best educate and treat. 

We look forward to an evening of conversation and education!
