4/8 - What to do after giving birth?

Amanda Savage is a women's health physio with 20+ years of experience and the Public Relations Officer for the POGP, the UK's professional association of Pelvic, Obstetric and Gynaecological Physiotherapists.

• Start gently, with just a pulsing movement.

• Find the right balance between doing the exercises and feeling sore.

• Techniques to help your pelvic floor: relative rest, get the pressure off your pelvic floor, cooling the area, supportive pants.

• Ask a medical professional for help if needed.
