Postpartum Training

& functional training

While pregnant our posture will change, endurance may decrease, and healthy weight gain should occur. Postpartum training will help you address these issues. We will help you get back to your pre-pregnancy shape, and better!

Some common complaints during and after this period are diastasis recti, low back pain, sciatica, neck/upper back pain, sacroiliac joint problems, hip pain, muscle spasms, and piriformis syndrome. All of these can benefit from personal training modified for the issues that a new mother faces, using safe and effective methods.

We use gentle hands-on techniques such as PNF stretching for sore muscles, joint mobilization and length-tension relationship testing to relieve alignment-related problems. We provide guidance on proper body mechanics, improved postural awareness, and body positioning for sleeping, as well as prescribing a home program of stretches and exercises (including pelvic floor/transverse abdominal muscle re-education).

Juliet Grey

Pre & Postnatal Diastasis & Core Consultant

I started training in 2000 at a big chain gym. I enjoyed training people with general goals like weight loss and muscle gain. Over time, I started to enjoy helping people with more complicated challenges. I started to enjoy learning how to train people with complicated injuries and clients training for specific sports.

When I got pregnant myself pelvic hyper-mobility issues I was unaware of came up, and I spent my last month of pregnancy limping and on crutches. Even with all my own experience working out for over 20 years, my knowledge of the human body and understanding of injury rehab and prevention, I was surprised at how pregnancy changes the body and affects working out. I became interested in the most challenging specialty related to personal training I'd delved into yet.

I was especially challenged to find ways to prevent, work around and repair injuries and complications like sciatica, carpal tunnel, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes and many more issues that can be associated with pregnancy. Always looking for a way to overcome challenges for my clients that are not well understood by other professionals, I jumped feet first into learning about prenatal and postpartum conditions and how fitness training and nutrition could improve the experience for mothers and their babies.

This type of training, which is a new and much needed field, has become my passion. I dedicate my time, often taking specialized courses or working with physical therapists to learn more about how I can help women before and after their babies and keep them strong, looking and feeling their best, so they can enjoy motherhood - and life, to the fullest.
