Thorough assessment
Everyone is thoroughly screened by us to make sure they are safe to come into the programme. We liaise with a variety of physiotherapists and will refer you when necessary. All your fitness goals are listed. Your tummy muscles, alignment, core connection, c-section scars, breathing, blood pressure and movement patterns are all assessed and documented also a full birth account and past medical history. This is a very comprehensive check and takes an hour. This is essential before the programme starts.
Highly qualified and experienced postnatal trainers

Video access for 6 months
Lynda has has poured all her knowledge into this side of the programme for you to access. All of her years of experience you will see reflected in the video’s and in the programing in the classes each week.
The exercise in the video’s differs to the class offering. There is so much education in the video’s too. We are keeping this library fresh and updated.
- 8 weeks worth of progressive exercises to make you feel fitter and stronger.
Pelvic floor exercises are all integrated into the movements. - Learning to engage your pelvic floor as you lift your baby, get off the floor or throw your pram in the boot.
- Learn how to improve your tummy appearance in quick easy steps.
- How to feel fitter and stronger for motherhood and get back safely into that sport or gym class.
- Diet and life style advice around postnatal healing and weight loss.
- What has happened to your pelvic floor from birthing and pregnancy.
- How to recover from c-section and vaginal tearing.
Information packs, resistance bands, and weekly emails
- When you start the programme you will be given an information pack with lots on exercise in general and specific postnatal and pelvic floor education.
- You will also receive a resistance band which will assist in doing all the exercises in the video’s you receive access to.
- We will email you each week with things to focus on and let you know what is happening the week after.
- We have a private facebook group set up where you can support each other through the programme.
Pelvic floor ultrasound (available in some locations)
This service is available at some locations, please check with your trainer.
- You will experience 2 pelvic floor ultrasounds as part of my postnatal recovery programme.
- We place some jelly on the lower part of your tummy – just like when you are having a scan when you are pregnant.
- You need to have a full bladder for this. The Physio’s at Habit place a probe on your tummy and this highlights your pelvic floor muscles. You can see them on a screen in front of you.
- We then ask you to do your pelvic floor exercises and you can see if your muscle is working well. This gives you instant feedback. Which helps you see if you are doing your exercises correctly.
- Pelvic floor muscle training can be tricky to do. That is why you need to be confident that you are doing the right thing and the right type of pelvoc floor exercise for you post baby.
- On week 6 we take another look at what your pelvic floor does in standing and when you bend to the floor. It is important to be able to connect with it in during these times as well.
- By week 6 most mums have improved their pelvic floor strength and are very aware of how to use this muscle when they are doing a heavy movement. We coach you through this in the programme.
- What we can’t tell with ultrasound is prolapse, tight pelvic floor muscles need referring to pelvic health physiotherapy, and we can’t tell you how strong the muscle is, or clearly detect any other birth trauma.
- That is why we also work closely with Pelvic Health Physiotherapy. You will see more about this service in the next box.
- There is life time value in knowing how to contract and relax you pelvic floor to prevent leaking of urine or poo or prolapse symptoms moving forward.
Check out the pictures and video below of our ultrasound service in the programme.


Pelvic health Physiotherapy
- Following our one hour pre assessment to the programme we may refer you to pelvic health physiotherapy. This is a separate cost to the programme.
- Pelvic Health physio’s are skilled in assessing pelvic floor muscles on a deeper level as these muscles are internal muscles. The physio’s can also help with pelvic pain, breathing patterns sexual issues, and diastasis.
- Depending on what you are needing they may do an internal examination to assess for prolapse, birth trauma, and also the strength of your pelvic floor.
- They can check your pelvic floor muscle balance. As with any muscle it can become tight or weak. Sometimes your pelvic floor muscle may need releasing or it may need strengthening up, some times it may need both.
- It is important to know what your pelvic floor muscle needs the most. It will be affected from pregnancy, vaginal or c-section births. There are things that can impact on your pelvic floor muscle even before you become pregnant!
- When you have seen a pelvic health physio you can still come into the Postnatal recovery programme. We receive a report back which enables us to personalise your exercise prescription.
- We show you in the programme how to use your breath and your pelvic floor muscle when you are doing complex movements such as throwing a pram in the boot or getting up from the floor.
- Essentially you move from being able to activate and relax your pelvic floor in lying to being able to integrate it with your everyday movements at home.
