Rebuild Strength.
Restore Function.
Move With Confidence.
The post-partum period is a time of significant physical change. Recovery looks different for everyone, and returning to movement should be guided, progressive and individual.
​
At Stay Active, our Post-Partum Health service supports recovery after pregnancy and birth through tailored exercise physiology. We focus on restoring strength, improving functional movement, and supporting your return to activity in a safe and considered way.
​
Whether you are newly post-partum or months (or years) down the track, our team works with you to build a strong foundation for long-term health and movement.
Why Post-Partum Care Matters
Pregnancy and birth place significant demands on the body. Targeted exercise can help to:
​
-
Restore core and pelvic floor function
-
Improve strength, posture and stability
-
Address back, hip or pelvic pain
-
Support recovery from caesarean or vaginal birth
-
Improve confidence with movement and exercise
-
Support a safe return to work, sport or daily activities
​
A structured, individual approach helps ensure recovery is effective and appropriate for your body.
Our
Approach
1. Initial Assessment
We begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand your pregnancy and birth history, current symptoms, movement capacity and goals. This allows us to design a program that is appropriate for your stage of recovery.
​
2. Individualised Exercise Program
Your program may focus on core control, pelvic floor integration, strength, mobility and functional movement relevant to daily tasks and caring for your baby.
​
3. In-Home Sessions
Sessions are delivered one-on-one in your home, removing the need to travel and allowing exercises to fit realistically into your routine.
​
4. Ongoing Support & Progression
As your strength and capacity improve, your program is progressed to support a confident return to higher-level activity, exercise or sport if desired.
