Core & Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation in San Ramon, CA
 Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist |
Postpartum Therapy for San Ramon Residents
Do you feel like you haven’t recovered your core strength since giving birth (even if it was years ago)?
Do you avoid jumping on trampolines or run to the bathroom when you do jumping jacks in fitness classes? Embarassed by "queefing" in yoga class or peeing your pants when you cough, sneeze, run or lift weights?
Do you get achy in your neck, shoulders or Lower back especially when caring for your kid(s)?
Are you frustrated by the appearance and function of your post-partum belly but don’t know how to train effectively?
Have you been diagnosed with diastasis recti aka “mummy tummy”?
Diastasis Recti is often a combination of poor breathing patterns, muscle imbalances, and postural tendencies. While pregnancy is a contributing factor to Diastasis Recti it can also be a symptom of a greater whole body imbalance.
Or maybe you're trying to lose weight, get back to working out ie. running or Crossfit, Pilates, Barre, etc. but are discouraged or somewhat alarmed when you find you're peeing your pants when you try to be fit/healthy?!

1-Day Workshop:
This 75 minutes workshop teaches you how to restore your core and avoid the aches and pains associated with pregnancy and childbirth. We will assess for and measure diastasis recti (separation of the abs aka “mummy tummy”), teach you what exercises you should avoid/what can worsen a diastasis, and then give you alternative exercises to improve the tone, strength and appearance of your abdomen and core. Learn strategies to get rid of back pain and stop embarassing peeing when you don't want to! Offered 2-3x/year.
Core & Pelvic Floor Reboot Camp (5-6 Week Series):
A more in-depth and progressive class to learn how to strengthen and restore your core the right way! You will learn exercises, tools and tips to restore your core, improve your posture as well as proper lifting mechanics. The class is limited to 5 participants to ensure personalized, individual attention. If you have a Diastasis Recti, we will monitor the separation each week.
Over the course of the 5-6 weeks, ~ 1 hour sessions, we will be concentrating on breathing, core and pelvic floor concepts through a progression of exercises where we will be monitoring and measuring the diastasis. We may use Pilates equipment, mat exercises, kettlebells and TRX depending on the needs of each participant. Each class builds on the next so we don’t allow drop-ins and you must commit to all 6 classes-in our experience, consistency is the best way to achieve results.
This 50 min class runs 5-6 weeks consecutively unless specified otherwise. No make-ups for missed classes, each week progresses from the previous week. No cancellations or refunds however, you may transfer your registration to another person if you can’t make it. Space is limited and books up quickly!
