\\Monday Modification//⁠ ⁠ Monday Modification $\\Monday Modification//⁠ ⁠ Monday Modifications are back and more basic than ever!⁠ ⁠ Because modifying exercises for pelvic floor and abdominal/pelvic considerations doesn't have to be fancy or complex. ⁠ ⁠ We will be sticking with some basic pulling, pushing, hinging, squatting, flexing and lateral movements that commonly come up in online or group workouts.⁠ ⁠ Changing your body position, adding extra support, changing load or changing range of motion.⁠ ⁠ PLAY AROUND - your body may respond differently based on strength, coordination, tissue tension, previously activity or the day of the week. Know that you have options and respect where you are today. ⁠ ⁠ -------------------------------------------------------⁠ A single arm row is one of my favorite core exercises!⁠ ⁠ A. First a bent over option⁠ ⁠ B Spreading the load and taking some work off of the abs with an arm support⁠ ⁠ C. Standing up straight to change my abs position against gravity but still focusing on anti-rotation with the single-arm.⁠ ⁠ --------------------------------------------------------⁠ ⁠ Let me know how this #modificationbasics go for you!⁠$

How did postpartum recovery become so negative and

How did postpartum recovery become so negative and complicated? What the hell has happened?⁠⠀
⁠⠀
All of these answers have a current popular rehab concept, but definitely applied in an inaccurate way; causing confusion and fear.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
💫Yes, it's great that more women are learning that postpartum recovery is something to value, learn about and to seek out help. But we've created a social media "expert" monster 😡 that may be causing more harm than good. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This harm may come in the form of shame to stop asking questions 🤐 or that they don't have access to resources, and fear to do something wrong or move at all.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I get it. Everyone is trying to be helpful, but assuming the thing that worked for you will work for everyone is not caring, but projection. Help your friends find resources! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Medical providers 🙋🏼 also need to take responsibility. All of these answers incorporated fancy words and theories being thrown around all willy nilly without full explanation. Women are latching onto these without full understanding, in order to have some agency in a situation where they feel helpless...I've been there. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
💫 Both, providers and peers need to realize there is no "right" way or "wrong" way to recover from anything. Especially something so complex and individual as child birth. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
💥Stop "shoulding" on each other!💥⁠⠀
⁠⠀
We should still focus on education about our bodies in all stages of life, open conversations about what we are experiencing, improved access to peripartum care, and be okay with "what ifs" and exceptions. It's okay to say, "I don't know, but I am willing to help you find out."⁠⠀

What can @Fem.unfolding help you learn about yourself this year? What's an old or new wive's tale that you want explained?⁠⠀
