@themovementclub: How I’m reconnecting to my core 10 days postpartum 🤍 After a C-section, my focus right now isn’t on “getting my body back” — it’s on reconnecting with my body, supporting healing, and rebuilding a strong foundation from the inside out. The three things you see me doing here: 360 Breathing This is one of the first ways I begin reconnecting to my deep core and pelvic floor. Instead of breathing only into the chest, think about expanding your ribs, sides, back, and belly as you inhale. On the exhale, gently draw your lower abdomen inward, as if you’re wrapping your core around your midsection. No sucking in, bracing, or forceful contractions. Gentle Abdominal Massage Using light circular movements across the abdomen can help encourage circulation, support digestion, and bring awareness back to the core after surgery. The key is keeping the pressure gentle and staying away from anything that feels uncomfortable or irritating to the incision area. Knee Marches These help reintroduce gentle core activation and coordination while challenging the body to maintain stability. The key is moving slowly, breathing throughout the movement, and keeping the pelvis as still as possible. A few important reminders: - Healing timelines are different for everyone. - If any movement causes pain, pulling at the incision, increased bleeding, heaviness, pressure, or simply doesn’t feel right, stop and consult your provider. - Always follow your surgeon’s and healthcare team’s recommendations for your specific recovery. - This is not medical advice and should not replace guidance from your doctor or pelvic floor physical therapist. Postpartum recovery isn’t about rushing. It’s about rebuilding with intention, one breath and one movement at a time. 🤍
