Q: Gina, I have a client that had a baby over three years ago, and has had problems with pelvis stabilization since, she has been doing physiotherapy for the last couple of years, but mainly stretches and cardio. She has approached me and wanting to doing some training. Is there anything I should be aware of and not to do, or could you give me some advise on some exercise, apart from the normal floor pelvic exercises, any suggestions would be great. Thanks Gina!
A: Great question! That is great that your client wants to get back into training again! As long as she is not having any further problems, she should be fine to incorporate your basic pelvic exercises.
Pelvic muscle exercises can be done in many different ways. You do want to be sure to ease into these exercises and if your client experiences any pain or discomfort, she should let you know immediately and stop the exercise. Maybe start with simple muscle contractions to see how she feels and move on from there. I would avoid any resistance or weighted movements. If she has been stretching, seeking and the proper care, been cleared, and it has been a few years, she should be good to start easing into training!
