Movement goals can be challenging in the early stages of postpartum, so let's take some guesswork out!!! You CAN move your body without fear of doing something wrong, it's just important to set realistic goals and use some foundational pillars to kickstart your healing journey. Three movement goals I address during this episode are:
1. Walking, how much and how often
2. Breathing work and breath work
3. Practicing proper posture
