Postpartum Exercises for a Stronger Core and Pelvic Floor
The journey through pregnancy and childbirth is transformative. While it brings the joy of motherhood, it also brings physical changes that can affect strength and stability. These changes, particularly in your core and pelvic floor, are a natural part of pregnancy, but they can leave your body feeling less supported after childbirth.
Why Core and Pelvic Floor Health Matters
At Orchard Clinic, we understand the critical role your core and pelvic floor play in your overall strength and stability. These muscle groups are essential for maintaining posture, balance, and daily function. However, during pregnancy, they undergo immense strain as they stretch to support your growing baby.
This process can weaken these vital areas, leading to common postpartum concerns such as diastasis recti and/or urinary incontinence. If left unaddressed, they can impact your comfort and confidence in everyday activities.

What to Expect from Our Postpartum Exercise Programme
Our complimentary group classes are a key component of Orchard Clinic’s postpartum care, designed to complement your recovery plan. These classes focus on floorwork exercises, which target the core and pelvic floor to improve strength, stability, and ease in daily movements. If you’ve been unsure about your techniques or worry you might be making mistakes, this is the class you should attend.

Supporting Comprehensive Postpartum Care
Our complimentary group classes are part of a wider care plan at Orchard Clinic. For women seeking more tailored solutions or additional support, we offer advanced methods such as Embody and Emsella. These methods complement the benefits of group classes by addressing specific concerns. Embody works on abdominal muscle reconditioning, while the strengthening of one’s pelvic floor is done via the use of the Emsella chair. This holistic approach ensures that every aspect of your postpartum needs is addressed, helping you feel stronger and more confident in your day-to-day life.

Frequently Asked Questions About Postpartum Exercises
How soon after childbirth can I start postpartum exercises?
It’s recommended to wait until you have clearance from your doctor before starting any exercise programme after childbirth. Typically, women can begin gentle exercises around six weeks postpartum, but the timeline may vary based on individual recovery. Our team will work with you to ensure a safe start based on your personal recovery process.
What kind of results can I expect from the postpartum exercise programme?
The results vary depending on your individual goals and current physical condition. Over time, you can expect to see improvements in strength, stability, and overall comfort during daily activities. Whether you’re addressing specific concerns like muscle weakness or urinary incontinence, the programme will help restore balance and confidence in your movements.
Do I need any special equipment for the exercises?
Our programme utilises minimal equipment, and the exercises can often be performed with bodyweight or basic props. However, certain sessions may incorporate equipment to support your recovery. We’ll guide you through everything, ensuring you have what you need for success.
