POSTNATAL RECOVERY
Ortho-Bionomy for Mothers
The early days, weeks and months of motherhood are precious and exciting. Never is there a more important time for you as a new mother to nurture and look after yourself, both physically and emotionally. With the joy of motherhood comes possibly the busiest time of life. Making time to restore and maintain ongoing dynamic pelvic stability may not register on the mother’s list of priorities. However, early post childbirth is an important time to protect, heal and re-strengthen the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles and re-align the structural components of the pelvis and spine.
As a new mum, it is natural to want to get your body back into shape, but it is essential to take your time by not doing too much too soon. Every new mother’s experience is different, as your comfort levels, energy and need to rest will vary. The mother’s body has undergone a sudden major change from having muscles tightly stretched over an expanded uterus, to a softer abdomen with weaker muscular control with structural shifts of the pelvis and spine.
Postnatal Recovery will help you to understand and become more aware of your body’s individual needs, as you recover from pregnancy, childbirth and adapt to the lifestyle as a new mother. Early post childbirth is a crucial time to promote dynamic stability, so that all the pelvic and trunk muscles work in a synergistic or balanced pattern.
This unique Postnatal Recovery program is specifically designed with Jo’s extensive experience as a Women’s Health Nurse, Pregnancy & Postnatal Yoga teacher, HypnoBirthing Practitioner and Associate Practitioner of Ortho-Bionomy. For the best results it is purposefully held over 3 sessions that focus on gradually promoting natural re-alignment, releasing muscular and emotional tension and regaining inner strength. Otherwise, mum can attend on a casual basis.
Ortho-Bionomy is a gentle, non-invasive body therapy that reminds the body of its natural ability to restore balance, access comfortable movement patterns, enhance relaxation and reduce pain. Ortho-Bionomy is collaborative with Medical and Allied Health Professionals, and mums recovering from abdominal muscle separation, perineal tears, stress incontinence and prolapse will also benefit from this Postnatal Recovery program.
Jo acknowledges that the practice of Ortho-Bionomy is a complementary therapy, and is not a substitute for treatment or recommendations by a medical doctor. If you have specific questions about any medical matter, you are advised to consult with your doctor or health care provider.

“I deeply appreciated Jo’s expertise and intuition throughout these sessions. The post-partum sessions were insightful and relevant to promote recovery. Jo worked on areas of the body that are impacted by childbirth and childcare in a gentle and effective way. Each session left me feeling balanced and grounded in my body. I feel like I made a great long-term investment in my health and wellbeing- Thanks Jo!”
I have a toddler can I still attend Postnatal Recovery?
Ideally, it is best for the mother to attend the Postnatal Recovery Ortho-Bionomy sessions during her first 6 months post childbirth. Yet, ALL mothers can attend Ortho-Bionomy sessions throughout their life.
Mothers can attend with their baby up until baby begins to crawl.
Mothers can also decide to attend alone during the first 6 months and beyond into their years of caring for their toddler and young children.
Continuing the Ortho-Bionomy sessions beyond these formative years of Motherhood- leading well into their Grandmother years.
