keeping her oblique’s nice and
relaxed.
We can also encourage her to ‘let it
hang out’ a little aka “stop sucking
her belly in” – the baby has to grow
and I believe the more we can
help a woman’s body adapt to this
process rather than working against
it, the more we can possibly help to
prevent of a number of postnatal
contraindications being more
severe.
When we have properly taught
our mums to activate their PF and
TA and ideally they have been
to a WHP to make sure what we
have taught them is ‘correct’ in
our sessions we can then check in
and monitor that she is keeping her
oblique’s relaxed through her basic
PF and TA breathing exercises and
that we are not overloading them
during our sessions.
Yes she needs to maintain her
mobility but she doesn’t need excess
pressure on her linea alba or further
shortening of her oblique muscles.
