POST PREGNANCY
Electro muscle stimulation for post pregnancy
01. The challenge
You’ve just experienced one of the biggest journeys a woman’s body will ever go through, congratulations mama! It’s at this point 6-12 weeks postpartum that’ll you’re looking and incorporating some gentle movement back into your routine. Especially if you’re finding it tough getting through the day without caffeine or stuck in a cycle of yo-yo or fad diets, finding it hard to get out of bed in the morning and struggling to fall asleep at night. If you’re looking for a kick start back into a healthy lifestyle, a routine that gets your body feeling the way it used to or needing a little bit of extra support to strengthen and tone your body while strengthening those weak pelvic floor muscles.
Here are some of the struggles our members and new mothers have had before starting their fitness program with us at Fit X EMS:
- Lack of energy: After giving birth, it’s normal to feel exhausted. This is due to a number of factors, including sleep deprivation, hormonal changes, and the physical demands of pregnancy and childbirth.
- Lack of time: Caring for a newborn demands a great deal of time and attention, leaving little time for self-care. Women often find it challenging to prioritise exercise and find time to incorporate it into their busy schedules.
- Fatigue and sleep deprivation: The demands of caring for a newborn can result in disrupted sleep patterns and fatigue. Lack of sleep can negatively impact energy levels, motivation, and the ability to engage in regular exercise.
- Injuries: Women who have had a cesarean section may experience pain and discomfort in their abdomen for several weeks or months after the surgery. This can many forms of exercise difficult.
- Core and pelvic floor weakness: Pregnancy and childbirth can weaken the core muscles and pelvic floor, leading to issues such as diastasis recti (separation of abdominal muscles) and urinary incontinence. Women may need to focus on specific exercises to rebuild core strength and address pelvic floor concerns.
02. The solution
Exercise can help new mothers improve their physical and mental health. It can help to lose weight, reduce stress, and improve sleep. Although getting back into a fitness regime, may bring up a range of emotions, including excitement, nervousness, and worry, it is important to remember that it is okay to feel these emotions and that everyone’s body is different. The most important thing is to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity and duration of workouts at a gradual level.
Here are just some of the benefits of exercise and movement for mums who have recently given birth:
- Improved physical health: Exercise can help to improve cardiovascular health, muscle strength, and flexibility. It can also help to reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and some types of cancer.
- Improved mental health: Exercise can help to improve mood, reduce stress, and improve sleep. It can also help to boost self-esteem and confidence.
- Weight loss: Exercise can help to burn calories and lose weight. This can be especially helpful for new moms who have gained weight during pregnancy.
- Reduced risk of postpartum depression: Exercise can help to reduce the risk of postpartum depression. Postpartum depression is a common condition that affects up to 1 in 7 new moms. Exercise can help to improve mood and reduce stress, both of which are risk factors for postpartum depression.
- Improved bonding with baby: Exercise can help to improve bonding between new moms and their babies. When new moms exercise, they release endorphins, which have mood-boosting effects. These mood-boosting effects can help new moms to feel more positive and connected to their babies.
- Increased energy levels: Exercise can help to increase energy levels. This can be especially helpful for new moms who may be feeling tired and run down.

This can be especially helpful for new moms who may be having trouble sleeping due to the demands of a new baby. - Reduced stress levels: Exercise can help to reduce stress levels.
