This may lead to pain and/or dysfunction, possibly limiting your mobility for labour and/or creating imbalances that persist postnatally including diastasis recti, core &/or pelvic floor dysfunction, pelvic organ prolapse, and more.
Join Sarah Trottier, PT for this 4-week physio rehab series where you will learn to connect to your body and learn pregnancy-specific exercises to help keep you moving during pregnancy, prepare for childbirth, and assist with recovery postnatally.
