Postpartum Return to Movement

Returning to movement after birth should be gradual and guided by your healthcare professional. Wait for clearance, start with walking and core reconnection (breathing, pelvic-floor work), and avoid crunches or heavy lifting initially. Watch for pelvic heaviness, leakage, or pain — these are signs to slow down and seek support. This article is education only and not a substitute for professional guidance; postpartum users must confirm clearance before standard workouts.
