“Do 10 – 20 minutes a day of my breathing technique, ideally for the first 12 weeks after birth. That will help repair abdominal separation, stabilise your pelvis and strengthen your pelvic floor. If you’re sitting move away from the back to the front half of the chair. Place your feet flat on the floor with a fist sized space between your feet and knees. "Look straight ahead and sit as tall and relaxed as possible. Already your vertebrae will be stacking themselves up so the natural curves of your spine will have improved. Breathe in through your nose. As you breathe out through your lips think: ‘sternum through towards your spine’. This will prompt your body to retain a new muscle memory. When upright, stand as tall and relaxed, and do the same breathing technique.”
