Returning to exercise after having a baby

There is no single timeline for returning to exercise after birth. Every body and every birth is different.

A postnatal check with a pelvic health physiotherapist, such as a Mummy MOT, can assess your core and pelvic floor and guide you towards the right starting point.

From there, postnatal Pilates and Mum & Baby yoga offer a supportive way to rebuild strength, reconnect with your body and meet other new parents.
