Show Notes
On this episode of the podcast we’re talking with Julia Di Paolo about her work as a physiotherapist and how someone should return to exercise in the postpartum period.
My top takeaways:
- Find a qualified PT in your area and book with them regardless of what lifestage you’re currently in.
- Educate yourself about your body - as Julia said, it’s yours and you deserve to know what’s happening with it.
- Make sure you are taking a small part of each day to do something for yourself, no matter how little that thing is.
