Why Attend This Postnatal Group Reformer Webinar?

Many exercise professionals receive conflicting information about postnatal exercise. As a result, instructors can feel uncertain about how to safely progress clients after pregnancy.

This Postnatal Group Reformer webinar explores the key factors that influence exercise participation and load management during the postnatal period.

Rather than focusing solely on pelvic floor dysfunction and abdominal separation, the session examines how the thorax, diaphragm, abdominal wall and pelvic floor work together to manage pressure, transfer load and support movement.

Drawing on resources from Women's Health and Exercise Australia (WHEN) and the work of Diane Lee, participants will gain practical strategies that can be applied immediately in Group Reformer classes.

What You Will Learn

During this Postnatal Group Reformer webinar, you will learn how to:

• Understand key postnatal considerations that influence exercise participation and load management.
• Explain how the thorax, diaphragm, abdominal wall and pelvic floor work together to support movement.
• Recognise signs that a client may be struggling to manage load during exercise.
• Modify, progress and individualise Group Reformer exercises for postnatal clients.
• Understand how body position, lever length and exercise selection influence exercise difficulty.
• Develop exercise progressions that help postnatal clients safely rebuild strength and function.
• Recognise when referral to an appropriately qualified health professional may be warranted.

Practical Group Reformer Strategies for Postnatal Clients

Using practical Group Reformer examples and exercise progressions, Kath and Chantel will demonstrate how instructors can adapt exercises to suit individual needs and abilities.

Importantly, the goal is not to avoid load. Instead, participants will learn how to progressively load postnatal clients in a safe and effective way that supports long-term strength, movement capacity and confidence.
