Send us a textThis week I am a little bit upset.Not about the first subject which follows a question about what type of exercise, and at which intensity, is safe to do during pregnancy. That's a great question and a doddle to answer :)But I'm upset about the single worst Instagram video I have seen from someone working with babies. Here it is for those of you who want to have a look.The Osteopath in the video is making LOADS of dumb, and I do mean idiotic, claims about the effects of a C-section on a baby's spine and it's health.He claims the "lumbar spine is reversed" or "missing" and that is clearly complete and utter nonsense. But the video has 400k likes and this grifter has 600k followers.So I go over some of the idiotic claims people make online to scare those of you wanting, or needing, a C-section into parting with your money.And then there's a bit of jazz to calm me down :)As always; HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles!So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation! BUT, if you decide you want to do the rest of the program, after only 5 months of paying $10/£8 a month you now get FREE LIFE TIME ACCESS!

Send us a text This week I'm answering some more of your questions and emails,Will using a bodypillow during pregnancy really lead to greater diastasis recti and hip problems?Why learning to breathe properly is the single most important thing you can do for your post-partum recovery.I'm also talking about "doming" again And finally, why Gisele Bündchen is NOT the person you want to compare your body to when you're post-partum (I can't believe I have to say this but someone asked if I could give them a tummy like Gisele "because she's had 4 kids and looks amazing!!")  Just a  reminder that HPNB now only has 5 billing cycles!So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation!

Send us a text Can burlesque become a tool for postpartum body confidence? This week I'm delighted to be joined by Cat LaCohie and we're talking everything body confidence.We explore the reality of societal pressures that many women face after pregnancy, and how Cat uses burlesque as a medium to reconnect women with their bodies and embrace self-love. But this episode is not just about burlesque. It's about the journey of self-discovery, and the transformative power of reclaiming one's identity. Cat shares how embodying powerful characters through burlesque helped her reclaim her strength during moments of self-doubt. She challenges the notion of seeking constant approval from others, emphasizing the value of self-worth and the joy of being in the company of the right people. As our conversation draws to a close, Cat sheds light on the importance of being vocal about who you are, and how it helps filter out those who don't belong in your life.She shares her inspiring journey, from building her own website to teaching burlesque classes, and how she learned to say 'I'm amazing and you're welcome' instead of apologizing for her actions. The message of this episode is clear: Individuality, self-love and authenticity can be empowering tools to navigate through life's challenges. You can find Cat in all the cool  places.Her website FacebookInstagram and her other insta! And if Cat has really made you think "Hey, I should give this a shot" then head here for online classes.Just a  reminder that HPNB now only has 5 billing cycles!So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation!

Send us a textThis week I am returning to the age old subject of diastasis and backpain.I saw a post on Threads this week from a VERY knowledgeable neurosurgeon that I follow, where she posted that she was surprised that after having had diastasis surgery her lower backpain was also gone.And I just thought; "Well, if she doesn't know about this connection then I clearly haven't spoken about it enough".So that's what we're doing. Remember, everything..EVERYTHING, is connected and isolating small muscle groups does not work when you're dealing with postpartum recovery!Just a  reminder that HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles!So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation!

Send us a textThis week it's just little old me again as I talk about the weird, frankly insane, stigma surrounding c-sections.A lot of chat on my social media feed was about c-section this week so I thought I'd spend a bit of time going over the numbers;What % of women give birth via c-section in various countries?What is the reason for most c-sections? (hint, it's not "too posh to push!!")Why do doctors recommend c-sections for certain women? (hint; it's not "to make money"!)What % of c-sections is elective? (it's a LOT lower than most people think..and even then there are usually very good reasons for it)I also talk about the "diastasis recti is an adaptation" argument a bit and compare it to Wolverine's claws. Very useful in a fight, not so much when you want to open a jar of peanutbutter.As always; HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles.

Send us a textThis week I am waffling through another episode all by myself as I try to get the point across that a very narrow approach to postpartum recovery training will actually hurt you more than it will help.Basically I am saying that, by only focussing on things like diastasis recti, pelvic floor issues etc and ignoring "normal" upperbody training and movements, you're going to run into problems later on and you really don't need to.As I explain, unlike some other programs, in the HPNB program we start incorporating upperbody strength training from week 4 onwards as it's a vital part of getting you fit as a fiddle and ready to deal with whatever life throws at you.Anyways, if you don't mind me taking ages to get to the point, this is a valuable episode for anyone to listen to..I promise :) As always; HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles.

Send us a textWhen Wendy Powell, founder and CEO of Mutu System, first grappled with postpartum challenges, she unknowingly began a journey to revolutionize women's health conversations globally. In our latest episode, Wendy joins us to share her insights on the often-overlooked aspects of perinatal pelvic health and its profound effect on women's lives. Together, we explore the intricacies of dealing with issues like incontinence and prolapse, which extend beyond mere physical discomfort and touch upon deeper aspects like self-esteem and social participation. Wendy's collaboration with health insurers and hygiene companies globally underscores the pressing need for a holistic healthcare approach, particularly in regions like the U.S., where women's health issues are still under-researched.Imagine feeling shame and defeat when a birth plan doesn't go as anticipated. This episode tackles the emotional complexities of childbirth, especially the concept of birth shame that plagues many women. Medical interventions, though sometimes necessary, can leave mothers feeling disempowered and disconnected. We dive into the lack of postpartum support and address how dismissive attitudes within the medical community can stall recovery. By sharing personal anecdotes and professional insights, we aim to empower women with knowledge and support, helping them regain confidence in their postpartum bodies.Bringing to light the challenges of pelvic floor health and its accessibility, we discuss the essential yet often inaccessible therapies needed for recovery. Wendy and I emphasize the importance of understanding our bodies as a cohesive unit, advocating for practical and personalized approaches to health. Through heartfelt stories and expert advice, we paint a picture of non-linear recovery journeys, highlighting how both surgical and non-surgical methods can help reclaim strength post-birth. This episode is a call to action for comprehensive care, where women's voices are heard, and their postpartum journey is fully supported.Ready to start your pelvic health journey with MUTU System?

Send us a textI had a wonderful email from someone in Mexico asking me the, seemingly straightforward, "When will I know my diastasis is healed?" so in this episode I spend 30 minutes answering that very question.The issue with this question is that diastasis recti has a specific definition (one that isn't wide enough, in my opinion) and therefore quite often women get told that their diastasis is "healed" when it actually really isn't.And you can also have the situation where the diastasis (the gap) isn't actually much of an issue anymore but, technically, you still have it.So today I'm clearing it all up, whether you're an athlete or not. Whether you're into hill walking or a pro-tennis player..all will be clear :)As always; HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles. So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation!

Send us a textWouldn't it be nice if postpartum recovery was included in the NHS services, as they should be? Rather than NHS GPs making Instagram commercials for private, and expensive, postpartum recovery programs we should ALWAYS be pushing for FREE access for women.The Americanisation of British healthcare is a real problem and, the truth is, we would not accept this if this was happening for anything other than postpartum recovery?Imagine NHS GPs advertising for people to get cataract treatment private. Or saying that "loads of people come to me with a broken leg so I tell them to buy X-program"!It is outrageous that an essential service is being outsourced and that many women are being priced out of access.So that's what I spend the first 15 or so minutes talking about, then I move on to "pelvic floor or diastasis recti?".One of my PT colleagues, who is also a client, asked why online recovery programs now seemed to focus much more on pelvic floor in their advertising than they do on diastasis recti? What is the reason behind this change? Have the programs changed??As always; HPNB is, and always will be, FREE for 3 months.If you decide you want to do the rest of the program, after only 5 months of paying $10/£8 a month you now get FREE LIFE TIME ACCESS!

For years we've tracked investment trends at StartUp Health and talked quarter after quarter about how women's health has been underfunded. Finally, that is changing, and more founders and more funders are actively bridging that divide, creating new, necessary solutions for women, whether in fitness, pre- and post-natal care, chronic conditions, fertility, or menopause. Our podcast guests this week are two Health Transformers who have been dedicated to FemTech before the new surge in interest in women's health innovation. First we'll talk to Wendy Powell, CEO & Founder of MUTU System, a UK-based fitness platform that helps women recover from pregnancy and regain independence and confidence – focusing on core and pelvic floor reconnection, recovery, and strengthening. Wendy's been in business for more than a decade and joined StartUp Health last year to help expand her reach. Then we'll hear from Missy Lavender, CEO & Founder of Renalis, about how she's helping women with below-the-belt conditions like overactive bladder get the care they need through an AI chatbot called CeCe. Missy's company – which joined StartUp Health in 2019 – is bringing therapy to women who have suffered in silence with pelvic health conditions. She's not just extending a lifeline to women, but to their doctors as well, who have struggled to figure out how to manage these challenging conditions. Enjoy the episode, which was recorded at the ViVE 2023 conference in Nashville, with these two founders breaking through the stigma around women's pelvic health.

Diastasis recti is where the muscles that run down the middle of your stomach separate during pregnancy. It's really common and usually goes back to normal within eight weeks of delivery, but sometimes it doesn't. And it can lead to back problems and hernia - both things that Niki Odogwu has been dealing with since her daughters were born, as well as stress urinary incontinence. In this episode, Niki tells Helen how her back troubles got to the point where she couldn't get out of bed and how a postpartum fitness programme changed everything - helping her to manage her back pain and strengthen her pelvic floor. They discuss how a lack of information leaves women in the dark about our own bodies and why we need to do better at postpartum care:We don't focus on ourselves and our own care. It's like we don't matter. And as women we need to get out of that mindset and stop feeling that by looking after ourselves, we're being selfish mums, or we should be putting everything into the children, or this is the price you pay for having children. It shouldn't be like that. You can find more information about Diastasis Recti here and hereThe postpartum fitness programme MUTU System* is here*This is not an ad, Why Mums Don't Jump has no affiliation with MUTU System.

In this episode, our host Dr Hasan Chowhan talks to Dr Sushma Sundaresh, a Consultant Perinatal Psychiatrist in Bromley to investigate how mental health issues can affect new parents, with a particular focus on the importance of addressing health inequalities. Wendy Powell from MUTU System also joins to tell us about their pre and post-natal fitness programme, and Alison Baum tells us about Baby Buddy, an app to support parents provided by Best Beginnings. 

A mother of two with decades of personal training experience, Wendy founded MUTU System on the inspiration drawn from the lasting damage caused by a traumatic childbirth in which Wendy almost lost her life. Her focus with MUTU System is to empower women around the world through a community focused platform to put mothers back in control of their own bodies. MUTU System offers step by step guidance and access to MUTU Connect, a non-judgemental members-only community providing personal support via a dedicated team of ‘MUTU Pro's' who have been trained by Wendy.

Isn’t it time we stop overlooking our own self-care? Rachel Letham is a Business Success Coach, self-care guru, and author of Self-Care For The Seasons. She is sharing how she helps women worldwide discover what self-care means to them and how we can implement more self-care even if we don’t think there is enough time in the day. We’re discussing not only Rachel’s journey to self-care but also about bringing well-being into our day-to-day life as much as possible, no matter what season of life we are in. Let's make self-care a priority!  What we're talking about Rachel’s Road To Self-Care    Rachel’s Book Self-Care For The Seasons   How To Start Incorporating More Self-Care Rachel’s Road To Self-Care  Rachel started her career in the fresh produce industry, traveling the world to source berries to supply UK supermarkets. Throughout the years, she held various roles from Head of Supply Chains to running a strawberry farm. Despite working 80 hour weeks, she found she had free time and wanted to do something creative for herself, so Rachel started a blog. Her blog quickly evolved into an online fashion and lifestyle magazine which also got her promoted in her day job to Head of Brand & Communications. After experiencing a potentially life-altering experience, Rachel realized that she needed more balance. After being told she would make a good coach, Rachel further explored the opportunity and thus created her business. Rachel offered self-care advice that naturally came to her and resonated with others. She started a self-care survival kit and created a deck of cards - 52 Ways to Bring Self-Care Into Your Life. All of this has led to her new book, Self-Care For The Seasons. Rachel’s Book Self-Care For The Seasons Rachel wrote her book, Self-Care For The Seasons, as a resource guide for people to come back to when it worked for them. Rachel has had a global audience and is conscious that we aren’t all in the same climatic season of the year at the same time. Rachel also knows that many of us are experiencing different seasons of life, therefore this is a guide that can be utilized on every self-care journey regardless of what season of year or life you’re in. She reminds us that even small acts of self-care are needed by all of us and can provide great benefit. There are no two same definitions of self-care since we are all individuals.  How To Start Incorporating More Self-Care Self-care is a hot topic, but not everyone fully gets the various dimensions of self-care. Rachel shared that women usually feel a bit stuck in life and don’t feel they have a good sense of balance. We lead busy lives, but we need to find a way to incorporate more self-care into our lives and prioritize our needs. A great way to start on your self-care journey is to discover what resonates with you in regards to the ways you enjoy self-care and start including it in your schedule. Determine what is maintainable, sustainable, and won’t make you feel overwhelmed.  How will you incorporate more time for self-care?

How many times from pregnancy to parenting do you feel like you are doing it all wrong?  The truth is, we need to have open and honest conversations about the changes in our bodies as a result of carrying our babies.  Often after childbirth, moms are forgotten and everyone is focused on the baby.  Yes, that's wonderful but we are left feeling exhausted, in pain, and reeling from the birth experience.  This episode is all about our bodies as women and our health after we have our beautiful babies. My wonderful guest, Wendy Powell, the founder of the MUTU system , talks about how our bodies change and what we can do about it!  Many women experience urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, painful sex, and diastasis recti which can lead to embarrassment, anxiety, shame and lack of confidence.  Wendy believes every woman deserves the dignity and pleasure of a body that works and feels good.  She helps women, get their power back by supporting them through this time and teaching them how to build their pelvic floor and supporting them with a community of women so no mama has to face this alone. Wendy has also  launched a campaign called #ByMySide, which is all about raising awareness of the importance of birthing partners during the pandemic. The campaign encourages women to take to social media to post a picture with their birthing partner alongside a message about how important they were.   About Wendy Powell MUTU System was founded by mother of two Wendy Powell, a globally recognised leading voice on equality and empowerment for women’s health, with almost two decade’s experience in personal training. As the woman behind the best-selling online programme for mothers, trusted by over 70,000 women worldwide, Wendy is loved and recommended by specialist women’s health experts, surgeons, Hollywood celebrity trainers and their clients and even Royalty. The birth of MUTU System as a company stems from the births of Wendy's own children. It was the experience of a traumatic childbirth, which almost caused Wendy to lose her life, which would go on to reshape her entire career and give her a whole new perspective on what mothers have to deal with. Feeling physically and emotionally broken, powerless, useless at performing the most basic of female human functions, Wendy was left reeling from her childbirth experience. She realised that many women feel like this, hurried by well-meaning others to ‘get over it’ or move on. Many women struggle to see their beauty, strength and power. Whether it was recent or many years ago, and however it plays out, she knew that births stay with mothers and can leave them feeling battered, broken and disconnected.   It was here that MUTU System was born. A service for mothers, much like herself, who become out of touch and feel as if they lack control of their own body.  She built what she had needed, but couldn’t find.  The company would go on to fill this void and provide tens of thousands of women across the world with a crucial support system to reconnect with themselves, physically and mentally. Today, Wendy is shifting the conversation on women’s bodies towards equality and empowerment for health, confidence and power.​ She is also on the Women’s Development Board of charity Microloan Foundation UK and works with medical professionals around the world to improve education, dignity and empowerment for mothers. About MUTU System MUTU System is a digital 12-module specialist core and pelvic floor programme for all mothers, proven to improve physical symptoms including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, painful sex and diastasis recti which can lead to embarrassment, anxiety, discomfort and lack of confidence. Launched in 2009, MUTU System has a 94% success rate for clients feeling better in their bodies and the programme is backed by medical professionals.

For many women exercise forms part of their identity and hugely influences their overall wellness. The benefits of exercise for our physical and mental health are well understood and after giving birth this is often more important than ever. During pregnancy and birth women's body's are devoted to growing, nurturing and birthing their baby and to do so they undergo huge physiological and psychological changes so it is important we return to exercise in a sensible and safe way in the postpartum. Guidance seems to be very generalised and there exists a huge amount of vague and confusing information around the processes of postpartum exercise so I am thrilled to be joined on this week's episode by Wendy Powell the founder and CEO of MUTU system and a woman who is as passionate as I am about supporting women to embrace safe exercise in a way that will enhance their health and wellness.

In this week's episode, I'm chatting to Wendy Powell. I've known Wendy since I first heard her speak on stage about her ground breaking programme MUTU system, and then had to go buy it immediately. Since then, I've been using it weekly, and absolutely love it. So I had to have Wendy on the podcast to explain why she came up with it and why over 68,000 women have already been through it. I love Wendy's mission to get us all thinking of our bodies differently and particularly to stop the shame around how we see ourselves. And to give women an exercise programme that is safe and doesn't stress us out!Find out more about MUTU System here; http://happyhormonesforlife.com/mutu-system

When your pelvic floor is functioning properly, you don't think much about it. It's holding everything in, doing its job. But when the pelvic floor is too weak or too tight, it can cause issues like urinary incontinence, back and hips pain, frequent UTI's, constipation or painful intercourse. The good news, says Nicole Atwood, is that wherever you are now, you can start to get better and regain your pelvic floor health.Visit our show sponsor, Mutu System at bit.ly/mutumamaFor show notes, visit: www.momswhoknowpodcast.comWhat One Little Thing are you going to do differently because of what you’ve heard today?

Episode 029 explores what I call the Final Frontier in my post partum healing journey - healing the pelvic floor, pelvic organ prolapse and on a more spiritual and energetic level coming to face The Forgotten Feminine. I share, quite vulnerably and candidly my journey with Pelvic Organ Prolapse - I explain what it is, what I did and didn't know what POP, my journey of healing and how it's led me to face the disconnection of my inner feminine energy and power. This was a very raw, in real-time, authentic conversation about where I currently am on this journey of healing. There are tears shed as I speak the truth of my inner divine feminine and her sadness at being cut-off, numbed out, ignored and disconnected. This is a conversation that all women need to hear. Please tune in, listen with love, compassion and respect. And share it along to your mama friends.

And it's not just moms who have pelvic floor dysfunction. Many women don’t decide to do anything about their pelvic floor issues until they have symptoms. They can range from degrees of incontinence to discomfort during sex, a heaviness or bulging in the vagina or rectum to separation of the abdominal muscles with pregnancy- and more! Listen to find out why it’s common for women to pee a little when they sneeze or cough but why this shouldn’t be considered normal.

Jamille and Jessica video interviewed Wendy Powell all the way from London to discuss MUTU System! She is the founder and CEO for an exercise women designed for women post partum, especially those who have a diastasis recti, urinary leakage, or pelvic organ prolapse.

'Diastasis Recti' says it all really... child birth is as old as the hills, but that's not to say that it's easy; sure we hear stories of babies flying out like wet fish, but most of us - men and women alike - know that labour & birth are often traumatic. Recovery can take time and many women suffer both physically and mentally for months after having a baby. The MUTU System and its community are here to help and Lyssa-Fee is here to tell us some facts of life that not all will be familiar with.

This episode follows my 8-day “media tour” trip around California promoting my international best-selling book, The Love FitMama Way: Transforming the Core of Motherhood. I shared with host after host the importance of core rehab and realized that I may not yet have explained this process on the podcast yet, so here it is! I explain why I recommend to “stay flat for 5” and “heal your seal” and what the heck Pearl PullUps are. I explain the deep four “deep core” muscles aka The Core 4 and how they work, how they change with pregnancy and birth as well as what exactly a Diastasis Recti is. For more visuals, head over to the LoveFitMama YouTube channel and watch the #nocrunches video to help you understand why I advise against these common “ab” moves after you’ve had a baby. Do you have questions about your core? Book in for a free chat HERE. This episode covers leaking pee when sneezing, walking, jumping or working out and I go into what a prolapse is – and why you don’t want one. We talk superficial core and deep core and what I recommend starting with before going on to other workouts.

Wendy Powell, Dip PT is an internationally renowned and certified postpartum exercise specialist, award winning entrepreneur, and the founder and CEO of MUTU. Following a successful media and advertising career, Wendy retrained as a personal trainer in 2001, before focusing on pregnancy and postpartum exercise. After a decade of working with moms, studying with industry experts and doing extensive personal research, as well as becoming a mother herself twice over, Wendy maintained the passionate belief that there was a better way to help moms with postpartum body issues and so the MUTU System was born.

Here’s an overview of what the kweens discuss with Wendy in this episode of the show: Wendy’s background, how she started MUTU, and how her own two birth experiences influenced the development of the program How and why women are so underserved by the fitness industry, especially during the postpartum period, and what needs to change to fix this The importance of reconnecting with your body after you give birth (and why it’s essential to do this BEFORE returning to exercise) MUTU’s mission and target audience The definition of diastasis recti and how to check yourself for it Common misconceptions about diastasis recti and why it’s not actually the problem, but rather a symptom of an underlying problem What is included in the MUTU System 12 Week Program and why it’s so much more than just an exercise program!

Nicole Atwood is a core and pelvic floor specialist who helps moms to strengthen their bodies (and stop peeing their pants). Show Notes Chanelle: Hello and welcome to the Moms Who Know Podcast. I’m your host Chanelle Neilson, and I’m joined today by Nicole Atwood.   Nicole: I’m so excited to be on your podcast!   Chanelle: This is going to be a good one. This is a topic I’ve been wanting to talk about on the show for a while: core and pelvic floor health. I’m excited to learn from her today. Nicole says healing is possible no matter how long ago you’ve had your babies. What got you interested in this line of work?   Nicole: my starting point was a life trial. I had always been fit and enjoyed exercising. I got pregnant, had an active pregnancy. It never occurred to me that I would have problems after I had my baby. I had my little girl and it was a big reality check. I had a lot of trauma to my pelvic floor muscles, from the birth. The doctor gave me the all clear at 6 weeks. I started working at a high plyo program. I feel like that created a blind spot to the symptoms I was experiencing. After 12 weeks, I had toned up and lost weight, but I had this really round belly. I started thinking back to all the symptoms I had been ignoring: I was peeing my pants. I didn’t realize that that was an issue, that was a red flag…urinary incontinence is a red flag, I was also experiencing intense low back pain, and I had the “jelly belly” I was feeling no muscle activation or recruitment, even while doing sit ups… I started researching, but there wasn’t very much information out there, and I was trying to find what was wrong with me and I found out about diastasis recti. I did a self test and I realized that something was not right with my body. I asked my doctor about it, and he was no help. I cried in the car when I left his office. I went to a physical therapist, and she gave me a little bit of help and information. She likened my body to a rubber band and she said it’s been stretched during pregnancy, and it’s not going to go back to where it was. I left her office thinking I am going to prove her wrong. I couldn’t accept that. I decided I am going to help myself. I found a UK based program, called MuTu System, I’m now a trained pro for that system. It opened my eyes to a new way to heal, and now I want to be that advocate for women.   C: I always love those stories when people have hard times and turn that into helping other people. Explain to people what diastasis recti is   N: It’s abdominal separation. The core is wrapped in different muscle layers. The rectus muscles are the superficial layer (6 pack muscles). They are in two halves. They are connected by connective tissue. When you have diastasis recti, there is a separation of those two muscles. Those two halves start to pull apart and unnaturally separate from each other.   C: it’s almost more clear in women who are petite. If you’re already carrying extra weight, it’s easy to blame it on weight and not even think there might be an underlying issue   N: that’s why it’s important to tune into other symptoms that might lead to this underlying issue.   C: I hear urinary incontinence, and I think, that it’s more serious. The sneezing thing is pretty common. My friend would stop walking, cross her legs and sneeze.   N: you have to prepare for the sneeze. That’s stress incontinence. The pelvic floor muscles can’t handle the load. We joke about it. It’s very common. It’s something that we need to address and not accept. Why are we settling for this? We deserve better   C: we all know other women who are struggling with this. We don’t have to live with this, right?   N: it’s common but that doesn’t make it normal. It’s a red flag, something is happening in the pelvic floor that needs to be addressed.   C: what do you do when women have this problem?   N: core and pelvic floor weakness is a full body approach. The standard thing is kegels, but that’s lacking. That’s not just the answer. Our pelvic floor muscles extends from the front to our rectum. Kegels are an isolated muscle and something that happens is we’re told to do 100 kegels a day and what tends to happen is that we create a tight (hypertonic) pelvic floor. It has a lot of the same symptoms as a weak pelvic floor. We need a full body approach, with restorative and rehabilitative exercise. Core and pelvic floor work together and when we train together, that’s when they become functional. If you’re having urinary incontinence it could be a lot of different things. I always encourage women to see a pelvic physical therapist to find out what is really going on.   C: We hear kegels, kegels, kegels. Give me an example of types of exercises.   N: You see these exercises here and there. What you’re doing matters. Some exercises are going to make it better or worse, but what also matters is how you’re doing the exercise. You have to correctly activate the core and pelvic floor. Many people don’t know how to activate the transverse abdominals. But it’s more important how you’re recruiting core and pelvic floor in the movement.   C: we might not be getting to the right muscles even if we’re doing the exercises. Talk to us about why this happens, especially during pregnancy.   N: pelvic floor dysfunction is not just a womens issue. We really associate these issues with pregnancy because it’s a high load event. Our body is smart. Almost all of women in their third trimester and postpartum have some kind of diastatis. It’s when it doesen’t heal that it’s an issue. During pregnancy, two things you can do to aid the natural healing process. Not posture, posture is the way that we look. Alignment is the way our body is stacked. Pregnancy is a high pressure event. Oftentimes we over correct and that creates even more pressure. If you can maintain good alignment you can help keep that pressure system neutralized. During pregnancy, you need to avoid traditional core exercise, but still stay connected through the core and pelvic floor. Mind to muscle connection is huge. Stay connected during pregnancy, labor, delivery and postpartum. You will heal much better as well.   C: a lot of women feel like they can’t work their core during pregnancy. What can they do?   N: everyone is different. Avoid movement that causes intense pressure on the rectus muscles. Think about the load that is being placed on the pelvic floor (when running, etc.). Even if your body can handle it, is it beneficial for your body? What kind of load are you placing on your core and pelvic floor?   C: we don’t even think of that question!   N: we forget to ask is it okay for us? Is there a better solution? Is there something else I can sub in? Walking will benefit your body.   C: I love to walk, that’s my favorite. Walking and yoga! I want to talk about postpartum and beyond. You say it’s never too late, so if you’ve been walking around with this belly, it’s not too late?   N: our body is never past its capabilities of healing. Most of the clients I work with are usually in their late 40s to 60s. they see incredible healing from applying this. What you can do postpartum and beyond is those three key building blocks. Breathing is one. When we have core and pelvic floor dysfunctions, the way that we breathe matters. We can be belly breathers or do you have movement up into the rib cage. If you’re belly breathing you’re creating more pressure. Teaching a more optimal way to breathe is important. Also, that mind to muscle connection. If we’re not aware of these muscles, how can we strengthen and heal these muscles? Breathing helps aid in that.   C: you are speaking my language! We teach that in yoga. I hope you listeners put your hand on your belly to see how you were breathing. I love that we have been made aware that its common but not normal to pee your pants. Can you tell us your website?   N: There’s so much that I wasn’t even able to talk about!

Core and pelvic floor health is something that is often not considered during their pregnancy; however, during the postpartum period mom’s may notice that they still look pregnant, experience a little leaking when laughing or working out, or have pain in their back or lower body. It’s really important to address these issues to feel your very best! Wendy breaks down this complex topic and provides practical tips and inspiration. This is a must listen for pregnant women and women in the postpartum. Even if you don’t think you’re dealing with core or pelvic floor issues, you’ll want to tune into to understand how you can reduce or prevent problems in the future. We know you’ll love Wendy’s positive and empowering message!   Wendy’s Bio:  Wendy is an expert in postpartum and postpregnancy exercise, and after working with thousands of women who suffer from Mummy Tummy (aka pregnancy belly and weak pelvic floor), she realized how misinformed most of them were, specifically when it came to exactly how their abdominal muscles change as a result of pregnancy. Which is why helping women to not only look and feel fabulous, but also to be strong, pain-free, supple and fully functional, continues to be her inspiration and motivation. Medically endorsed MuTu System is a 12-week program with a whole-body approach to alignment that can help help all moms, new and old, rebuild a foundation for a strong core with natural activation, a healthy pelvic floor, and will get them on the road to achieving their pre-baby body.

http://www.liberatedbody.com/wendy-powell-lbp002 I interview Wendy Powell of MuTu System about why spot-treating postpartum issues like diastasis recti and pelvic floor dysfunction (or really any issue)  doesn’t work, her own less than perfect birth stories, why pushing ourselves into “getting our body back” is not only the least compassionate, but also potentially the least effective route, and the magic of plain old walking.
