While we hope that no one would have to find themselves in this space of loss recovery, we’re grateful to be able to help support you in a program designed specifically for you, the loss parent. This program was created as a tool to help you extend your recovery and return to fitness after your loss.
We’ve provided programming as well as educational articles to help guide you during your recovery. The programming is split into 2 different tracks, each based on your body and postpartum timeline. A quiz has been provided for you to help you decide which track best fits your needs at this time.
While you may not need or want to dial your fitness all the way back, being intentional in your return to exercise can help your body recover and help you maintain your long term health goals.
No matter whether you’ve experienced an early miscarriage, a stillbirth, or infant loss, your loss and your ability to get the recovery support you need matters.
Do you need to rehab your core and pelvic floor after a miscarriage or stillbirth?
Yes. If you’ve experienced a pregnancy, even if the pregnancy ended in loss, a progressive return to fitness that prioritizes core and pelvic floor health can help your body recover and help you maintain your long term health goals.
With pregnancy comes changes in the body, including hormones, postural adjustments, size of the uterus, constipation, etc. These changes can lead to an increase in pressure on the pelvic floor.
Increased pelvic floor pressure from pregnancy, even if only for a brief time period, can lead to an increased risk of core and pelvic floor disorders such as incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, or diastasis recti.
Returning to fitness after pregnancy or infant loss isn’t a black and white event. You can speed things up or slow them down based on how you’re feeling in the moment and what you need in your recovery. Take your time and take what you need from this program to help you in your healing journey.
