Prepare to Push®

Prepare to Push®  is a program focusing on pelvic floor and core health and wellness during pregnancy and postpartum. The pelvic floor and core are prime stabilizers for the body and key players during pregnancy and birth. Unfortunately, they are mostly ignored until there are issues. And for many women, issues occur during pregnancy and the birth process. Many of these issues can be prevented or lessened with targeted care of the core and floor. 

This program is built on the premise of preparing the body physically for birth. Think about it this way, if you tried to run a marathon without preparing at all, what would happen to the body? And yet, the birth process has been physiologically compared to as many as 6 back to back marathons. Muscles that haven’t been prepared, have likely been weakened by pregnancy, and probably even came into pregnancy not in an ideal position due to lifestyle, are not going to fare well through those 6 marathons (an ultramarathon). Preparing the body can help reduce common complaints of pregnancy, reduce the risk of labor dysfunction, and support a better recovery. And even though it is Prepare to Push™, it also has an entire recovery section.
