Stronger: The honest guide to healing and rebuilding after pregnancy and birth

Description

'Full of stuff I wish I'd known. Should be on every mother's bedside table.' Emma Redding, Buggyfit Founder Pregnancy and birth can stretch our bodies to their limit and beyond. Incontinence, birth injuries and birth traumas have been a taboo topic for far too long, and, until now, this has prevented women from fully regaining their strength. Stronger is the must-read guide to the bodily changes encountered by all women following pregnancy, with explanations, exercises and friendly, accessible advice to protect, stabilise and rehabilitate. It's time to treat what we pretend not to see, to let the help in and to grow stronger. Let's start now.

Megan Vickers has been a physiotherapist for 15 years and a specialist in women's health, back and pelvic pain for more than 10 years. She is the co-founder of a busy clinic and Pilates centre in South London, Four Sides. www.foursideslondon.com

So friendly and perfectly no-nonsense. It's full of stuff I wish I'd known. This book gives you the confidence to take control of your own rehabilitation (and the nod when to ask for help and who to ask). Stronger should be on every mother's bedside table. * Emma Redding, Buggyfit Founder * This is the book I wish I had had after my pregnancies. It contains so much essential information about our recovery and how we can feel strong and energised in motherhood. * Anya Hayes, author of Postnatal Pilates *
