An physiotherapist's guide to full healing in body and mind after birth

'This book is such a comprehensive guide to support women at a time when they need it most, written in a compassionate and approachable way.' - Clare Bourne, Pelvic Health Physiotherapist and author of Strong Foundations

'Your Postpartum Body warmly educates us on how we can best work with our body to strengthen and support it, both for postpartum, and importantly, for the rest of our lives.' - Anna Mathur, Psychotherapist and author of Raising a Happier Mother

Your Postpartum Body is a comprehensive, one-of-a-kind, evidence-based handbook to support post-birth healing and recovery.

What should you expect when you're done expecting? Too many of us think that there's no way to fix everyday concerns after a pregnancy, such as pelvic floor issues, exhaustion and burnout, and getting back into a fitness routine.

But this is simply not true. In this revolutionary resource, you'll learn what happens to the body during pregnancy and childbirth, common changes in function and feeling, and solutions for healing, written with expertise from a pelvic floor physical therapist who wants you to know that you can feel like yourself again - physically and mentally.

Your Postpartum Body is a complete reference guide for every eventuality, from making sure you're getting enough fluid, to troubleshooting breastfeeding to pelvic floor recovery, with helpful illustrations and photos throughout.

While your body is undoubtedly different (after all, you just grew a new human!), you do not have to live with pain, incontinence, weakness or nursing/feeding stress. You now hold all the tools and techniques you need to heal and nourish your body and mind.
