Self-Paced Prenatal & Postpartum Courses

You have heard about pelvic floor therapy. Your best friend told you “you have to go while you’re pregnant and after you have your baby!” You see it being talked about on social media. But maybe you have a never ending to-do list before baby gets here, a demanding job, or you have other kids to take care of - and you just can’t make the time to schedule that appointment.

I get it. And that’s why I have created self-paced online prenatal and postpartum courses.

I feel that every expecting mother deserves to feel as prepared as possible for their pregnancy, labor and delivery, and early postpartum journey.

Birth Ready: Prenatal Prep Program is my prenatal prep course that covers all the things I teach my prenatal patients that come to my office.

This course covers topics including:

  • Labor Education: understanding your core and pelvic floor, building your care team, relaxation aids and environmental considerations, and your birth plan.

  • Prenatal considerations for vaginal births and VBAC’s: biomechanics of birth, labor and delivery positions, perineal massage, and pushing techniques.

  • Prenatal considerations for cesarean births: what is a c-section and why it may be indicated, all about your c-section scar, and options to discuss with your provider.

  • Early postpartum care: perineal care, c-section scar care, abdominal and pelvic floor support, swelling management, and ergonomics for baby care.

  • 3 follow along prenatal mobility flows with my go-to exercises to reduce neck, back, pelvis, and hip tension that are safe and effective during pregnancy. These mobility exercises also help prepare expecting moms for labor and delivery.

  • A bonus module on kinesiotaping for pregnancy. This module covers how to apply, wear, and remove kinesiotape, as well as 3 of my favorite taping techniques for pregnancy.

Pregnancy and childbirth are major physical events, and postpartum moms deserve evidence-based guidance and proper rehabilitation.

Core Confidence: Reclaim Your Strength Postpartum (& Beyond!) is a self-paced exercise program that includes options to add personalized support as needed. It includes specific guidance for c-section moms, those who had perineal tearing, and troubleshooting guides for common postpartum problems such as back pain, diastasis recti, and pelvic floor dysfunction. It can be accessed on your computer or phone (including on the Kajabi app).

This course includes:

  • 8 weeks of progressive strengthening exercises that you can begin as early as 4 weeks postpartum. Each week includes three 30 minute follow along work outs with a focus on core and pelvic floor connection and full body strength.

  • Education on returning to exercise safely and what signs and symptoms to look out for.

  • Troubleshooting for common postpartum problems including postural changes, pelvic organ prolapse, back/hip/and SI joint pain, “mommy thumb”, and self visceral mobilization.

 FAQs

 

  • I am a pelvic floor therapist, but this course is not meant to replace seeing a pelvic floor therapist. The information covered in this course is something I do cover with all of my prenatal patients. However, if you are experiencing pregnancy related pain, bowel or bladder symptoms, or sexual dysfunction, I highly recommend seeing a pelvic floor therapist for a 1:1 assessment. I do offer a discount for 1:1 virtual and in person sessions to those who have purchased the course. If you aren’t sure if you should see a pelvic floor therapist, reach out to me at info@absolutekineticspt.com.

  • This course will briefly touch on the benefits of movement and exercise for prenatal prep, but will not include a specific postpartum exercise protocols or exercise videos. I am currently building a prenatal exercise course, as well as a first 6 week postpartum exercise course. Stay tuned for more information on the release dates for these courses.

  • Absolutely! The core and pelvic floor information covered in this course is applicable to women who have both vaginal and cesarean births. There will also be a separate section with information on planning for a c-section, as well as managing your scar and abdomen postpartum.

I recommend looking at the curriculum covered in each course to determine what would be most beneficial to you.
