Postpartum Pelvic Floor Exercises
Postpartum pelvic floor exercises play a crucial role in women's health and well-being after childbirth. As a trusted fitness company specializing in postpartum fitness, AlphaMamas Fitness recognizes the significance of pelvic floor health and offers targeted exercise programs to address postpartum concerns. These exercises not only help restore the pelvic floor but also provide numerous benefits for women who have had children.
Understanding the Pelvic Floor
The pelvic floor muscles are an essential group of muscles that support the pelvic organs and play a vital role in bladder and bowel control, plus contribute to deep core strength. Postpartum women often experience issues like urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse due to the strain their bodies undergo during childbirth. By focusing on targeted pelvic floor exercises, women can effectively strengthen and/or release these muscles, promoting better bladder control and overall pelvic health.
In a nutshell, the AlphaMamas programs are designed to help you stop peeing yourself when you run, jump, sneeze, cough, or laugh. The programs are also designed to help you regain balance in your pelvic floor, whether you’re dealing with a overactive (hypertonic) or underactive (weak) pelvic floor.
