The First Step to Rebuilding Your Core After a C-Section: Reconnecting the "Disconnect"
Move past guessing if your core is 'working' and start reconnecting. Learn the foundational 360 Breath to move past the 'cleared-but-confused' gap and seek Him first in your recovery.
Are you a C-section mama who has been "cleared" to exercise but feels totally lost on where to begin or paralyzed by the fear of doing the "wrong move"?
In this episode of the P31 Postpartum Podcast, host Brittney Harrison (MPH, B.S. in Exercise Science, and Certified Pre/Postnatal Fitness Specialist) reveals the essential "first step" to rebuilding your core strength safely and confidently.
If you’ve noticed "coning" when you sit up, feel a total lack of stability when getting off the floor with your baby, or feel like the signals from your brain to your muscles have been “cut”, this episode is for you.
Brittney bridges the gap between medical clearance and true core restoration, teaching you how to move from "cleared but confused" to strong, confident, and rooted in Christ.
