Returning to Fitness Postpartum Talk at At Nisa Wellnest

Becoming a mom is a beautiful, powerful journey — but it also brings incredible changes to your body. Pregnancy and childbirth stretch and shift your muscles, joints, fascia, and posture. Even after the 6- to 8-week postpartum “check-up,” many new mothers still carry subtle (or not-so-subtle) pelvic floor and core changes that can interfere with daily life, exercise, and overall wellness.

At Nisa Wellnest, we believe that returning to fitness should never be “all in or all out.” Instead, it’s about rebuilding your foundation — safely, intentionally, and with support.

📅 Event Date: January 17th

Join us for an educational and empowering session with our pelvic floor physical therapist on how to return to fitness safely and strong in the postpartum season.

Why Pelvic Floor PT Matters Postpartum

  • Pregnancy and birth often lead to altered muscle recruitment and coordination, especially in the pelvic floor, deep core, and abdominal muscles. Many symptoms don’t appear until activity increases.

  • PFPT can help with urinary leakage, pelvic pain, heaviness/prolapse symptoms, diastasis recti, scar pain, and core weakness.

  • A guided return-to-exercise approach reduces risk of setbacks, incontinence, or pain when resuming workouts.

  • Even if you feel “fine,” rebuilding from the deep core out supports long-term pelvic health, strength, and confidence.

🧘‍♀️ What to Expect During the Event

We’ll discuss:

  • What happens to the pelvic floor and core during pregnancy and postpartum

  • Signs your body may not be ready for high-intensity exercise yet

  • How to safely reintroduce movement with breathwork, alignment, and core coordination

  • Common postpartum challenges and how physical therapy helps

  • Practical take-home exercises to support your healing and strength

  • A roadmap for returning to the activities you love — running, lifting, yoga, and more

Who This Session Is Perfect For

  • New moms at any stage postpartum (vaginal or cesarean)

  • Anyone wanting guidance or reassurance when restarting exercise

  • Moms experiencing leaking, pelvic heaviness, pain, or core weakness

  • Women who want to return to fitness safely, intentionally, and supported

Whether you’re newly postpartum or months into motherhood and finally coming up for air, you deserve to feel strong, capable, and confident in your body again.

We hope to see you on January 17th at Nisa Wellnest ❤️
