Mobility and recovery app pliability unveils its latest offering, the Postpartum Program, designed to empower mothers from the first day of their postpartum journey through guided mobility videos.
Developed alongside the The MINT Prjct, a team of female experts specialising in training and education for pregnancy and postpartum fitness, the new program integrates mindfulness and affirmations to enhance the holistic recovery experience.
With distinct sections tailored for each postpartum stage, pliability’s Postpartum program is set to redefine the way mothers approach fitness after childbirth.
The Postpartum program features exclusive content for the second time with pliability athlete and six-time CrossFit Games Champion, Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr, following pliability’s initial Pregnancy Path mobility series that was released in April last year.
The Postpartum program comprises of four fundamental components designed to cater to the distinct needs of mothers during this transformative period:
- Postpartum Recovery Weeks 1-6: Vaginal Delivery
- Postpartum Recovery Weeks 1-6: Caesarean Delivery
- Postpartum Recovery Weeks 7-12
- Guided Walking Path
“As an elite athlete, maintaining my mobility and recovery has always been a priority and something I have continued throughout my pregnancy and postpartum journey,” says pliability athlete and six-time CrossFit Games champion, Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr.
“pliability and The MINT Prjct team have educated me on the importance of this, particularly postpartum, supporting me from day one of my journey back to fitness.
I want to empower mothers with the knowledge and tools they need for a healthy and resilient postpartum experience.”
Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr’s unique insights into adapting training plans during pregnancy and now postpartum have been pivotal in shaping the pliability Postpartum program.
The collaboration with The MINT Prjct ensures that the program incorporates expert knowledge in pregnancy and postpartum fitness and nutrition.
“The MINT Prjct is dedicated to empowering women throughout their entire wellness journey, especially during the transformative postpartum phase,” says Cara Forrester, Director of Education from The MINT Prjct.
“We understand the profound impact that mobility and movement health can have on a woman’s recovery after giving birth.
Teaming up with pliability again, we are thrilled to contribute our expertise to the development of the Postpartum program that emphasises the importance of mobility in rebuilding strength, reducing discomfort, and supporting overall well-being after childbirth and for mothers to understand how to move post-birth.”
Empowering Postpartum Journeys: pliability’s Holistic Care for Every Milestone:
- Postpartum Recovery Week 1-6, Vaginal & Caesarean Delivery: pliability’s program starts on day one, prioritising safe recovery for new mothers, including light stretches and meditation, for just 7 minutes a day. Whether in a hospital bed or at home, it provides a gentle start to recovery, encouraging mothers to include their baby in the process, and fostering a nurturing bond during this crucial phase.
- Postpartum Recovery Week 7-12: Advancing into the next chapter of the healing journey, pliability extends routines to 15 minutes, targeting key areas such as the hips, chest, and back which are often compromised due to the demands of early motherhood.
- Guided Walking Paths: Designed to enhance the mind-body connection, pliability’s guided walks consist of 5, 10, or 15-minute options for added activity during recovery. Incorporating gratitude exercises, visualisations, body scans, and more, these routines allow new mothers to connect with themselves while out on walks with their babies.
“Our second collaboration with pliability athlete Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr and The MINT Prjct team demonstrates our commitment to comprehensive health solutions for women, in every stage of their life,” says Cody Mooney, Director of Performance at pliability.
“We believe in the power of education and support in fostering a healthy postpartum experience, building upon our ethos that movement is freedom.”
A study conducted by The National Library of Medicine revealed that there is a significant lack of comprehensive rehabilitation for women post-pregnancy, contributing to symptoms such as musculoskeletal pain and diastasis recti.
Recognising this issue, pliability’s Postpartum program ensures that mothers have access to valuable resources that aid in their recovery journey, offering a series of guided mobility routines that address these neglected symptoms.
Designed to be used as a basic component of any training plan, pliability on-demand, science-backed routines for stretching, breathing, and mindfulness are designed to enhance active lifestyles, to unlock your body, and to allow you to move freely.
The pliability app is available to download now on iOS, Android and any web browser.
Videos can be watched on-demand, streamed to any screen, or downloaded for offline use.
