The postpartum period is a critical time for recovery, yet many individuals are guided through this phase by programs and coaches that lack the specialized knowledge required to address their unique needs. The rise of postpartum "rehab" programs has highlighted a gap in quality care—too often, these classes are poorly designed and led by under qualified instructors.

As pelvic floor physiotherapists, we have the ability to fill this gap and set a new standard in postpartum recovery. This course is designed to equip you with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to implement group postpartum rehab classes effectively. You’ll learn about the research and benefits of group physiotherapy and how to apply these benefits to postpartum recovery, how to address common conditions like diastasis recti, prolapse, incontinence, and pain, and how to design effective exercise programs in a group setting.

The course also provides you with valuable resources, including done-for-you class templates and an extensive exercise library, so you can start implementing these programs immediately.

Course Objectives:

• Review the benefits and research on group rehabilitation programs and how they can be applied to the postpartum population.
• Provide an overview of common postpartum conditions and important considerations for returning to exercise.
• Review the benefits of strength training and identify key areas of focus for the postpartum population.
• Understand the difference between group physiotherapy and general fitness programs.
• Learn how to program exercises based on participants' current function and how to modify and adapt exercises in a group environment.
• Develop the confidence and clinical reasoning needed to structure effective rehab classes.
• Walk away with done-for-you class templates and a library of exercises and progressions that can be implemented immediately, both in a group environment and with one-on-one clients.
• Implement a new revenue stream for your clinic while improving the access and affordability of care for your postpartum clients.
