Gentle core recovery doesn’t have to wait til the 6-week clearance.
🌬️360° Breathing is one of the simplest ways to begin reconnecting with your core after delivery by
▫️ restoring core function and coordination between the diaphragm, transverse abdominis, and pelvic floor
▫️ regulating the nervous system
▫️ preparing the body to return to exercise
▫️ building the core capacity necessary to manage day-to-day activities
And it’s something you can safely begin as soon as you feel comfortable. Here’s how to do it ⬇️
1️⃣Inhale through your nose, feeling your rib cage expand in all directions.
2️⃣Exhale through pursed lips, drawing your navel toward your spine
That’s it! A simple practice, with a host of benefits.
💡 A few breaths in bed, in the shower, or while the baby does tummy time helps re-establish core function and lays the foundation for more progressive recovery work to come.
