Your Instructor
Alessandra is a pelvic floor physical therapists and business owner that worked with 2 other pelvic floor physical therapist in Phoenix, AZ. After seeing so many women with similar ailments during pregnancy and postpartum and all asking the exact same question, ““what kind of exercise can I do after having my baby?” they knew they needed to come up with a safe, and effective program these new mothers could do from home. They became passionate in finding a way to reduce their risk of suffering from some of the “common but not normal” ailments many new mothers seem to face.
During one of the therapist pregnancy's they developed a strengthening program for her to follow as well as into her postpartum journey. After having a healthy delivery and optimal recovery they knew it was crucial to share this program with as many women as possible.
