Basic Principles of Postpartum Exercise

During pregnancy, the abdominal and pelvic muscles become significantly stretched and weakened.
This condition continues after childbirth, so postpartum exercise is essential to help contract and restore the muscles back to their original state.

The ideal time to begin is about 24 hours after delivery, but only under the guidance of a doctor or specialist.
Never overexert yourself in the beginning—start with light exercises and gradually increase intensity and duration depending on your health condition.

Special caution is needed if you had a cesarean section or experienced a difficult delivery.
If you have pain at the surgical site or your body still feels overheated, it is best to avoid exercise until recovery progresses further.
