Postpartum recovery needs patience and a plan, not intensity. How EMS fits in, when to begin, and what we do differently.
Do not start any training programme after giving birth without clearance from your doctor or midwife. That is usually around six weeks for an uncomplicated vaginal delivery, and longer after a caesarean.
EMS is not appropriate during pregnancy. Afterwards, once you are cleared, it can be a good way back — but the clearance comes first, every time.
If you have diastasis recti (abdominal separation), say so. It changes what we do and in what order.
It is low-impact. Very little external load, so it is gentle on joints and a pelvic floor that is still recovering.
It reaches the deep core. The transverse abdominis and the deep stabilisers are exactly the muscles that weaken during pregnancy, and exactly the ones that voluntary effort struggles to reach.
Intensity is set per muscle group. We can work your back and legs properly while keeping the abdominal intensity conservative — something a conventional session cannot do.
It is short. Twenty minutes of training is realistic with a newborn. Ninety minutes at a gym usually is not.
Your assessment covers where you actually are, not where a chart says you should be. We start conservatively and build. Progress is measured on the monthly scan rather than the scale, which after pregnancy is an especially unreliable guide.
We also talk about the things that are not training: sleep, eating enough, and the fact that recovery is not linear. Several of our members came to us specifically for this, and it is a big part of what we do.
Your body took nine months to change. Give it a comparable window coming back. The members who do best are the ones who stop competing with who they were before and start building from where they are.
