Craven: Physiotherapy Month

“Like any new mom, I wanted to try get my body back to where I had it before kids. After having my first son via emergency C-section, I wanted my body back so bad. It’s not easy once you have gone under the knife, so I enrolled in boot camp. After about 10 sessions, I wasn’t noticing anything nor feeling better, and I wasn’t getting much help from the instructor, other than “keep doing it, you will see results soon”. I stopped attending and started googling exercises related to post C-sections and found information about abdominal separation saying that doing planks or crunches would make it worse! What was I doing in boot camp? I noticed there was really no proper information on how to take care of your body after a C-section, not even my doctor had the information other than doing moderate exercise at your own pace. So, after I had my second son who also came via emergency C-section, I was more cautious of what exercises I would do. But having no core strength, chasing my two-year-old around and raising a baby, I needed help. That’s when I stumbled across a Facebook post that a friend shared about pelvic floor exercises by Bree. I messaged them to see if they could help, and in October I booked an appointment to see Bree. From there we determined that I did have abdominal separation. We started an exercise plan to help strengthen my pelvic floor, which helped the lower abs. Then I was introduced to Ainsley, who started a physio program with me to help close my separation and strengthen my body so I could take care of my boys. Today I have closed my gap, I have a stronger core, less back pain, better balance and have lost some weight. Ainsley really listens and helps make a program that you can do. She modifies the movements to your needs then adds on to it and progresses you at your own speed. Even if you don’t have all the fancy equipment, they will help you in any way they can!” - Jolisa H.
