Join our Core Restore Workshop with Special Guest Kim from Appreciating Health

Whether you had a baby 10 weeks ago or 10 months ago, this workshop is for you. 
 
Join us on Friday, February 6th and learn the fundamental Do's and Don'ts of Core Exercises after baby.
 
Many women experience Abdominal Separation, or Diastasis Recti (DR), after pregnancy.  Diastasis Recti is caused by intra-abdominal pressure and is a combination of the separation of the Rectus Muscle and a weakening of the linea alba, the connective tissue that connects your 'six pack'.  This connective tissue becomes weak and is unable to support your abdominal wall and internal organs.  It is also very common for DR to weaken your pelvic floor.
 
More often then not, we resume traditional core exercises, like crunches and planks, with the hopes of improving our core muscles and to 'bounce back' after birth.  However  these exercises can actually make the separation worse if you have DR, causing more weakness and leaving you susceptible to low back pain, pelvic pain or prolapsed organs. 
 
Whether you are working out at home or in a group setting, learning how to identify & assess yourself for Abdominal Separation and following the guidelines and best practices to restore Your Core is essential.  Join us for this interactive workshop and learn exactly what to do to safely exercise after and with baby! 
 
Kim from Appreciating Health will also be delivering a great session on Nutrition for the New Mom.  Learn what to eat to fuel your body to boost your energy and feed your family.
