A new free 6 week postnatal recovery course has been launched by expert physiotherapist Anna Meggitt, to support new mums in the Essex area with education and support with their postnatal recovery. This exciting initiative, made possible with funding from Active Essex, is designed to give mums the confidence and guidance they need to exercise safely after giving birth and remove any financial barriers mums may face from accessing this support.
Anna Meggitt, who is also a qualified Pilates instructor, has her own Pilates studio in Billericay, Essex. After realising so many new mums needed support with pelvic floor and postnatal recovery, she underwent further training around pelvic health and with MummyMOT (which specialise in postpartum care) to help as many people as possible.
The first cohort of this exciting initiative has just begun, with 4 cohorts happening between now and May. Anna is keen to expand the course to reach as many new mums as possible and has developed a low-cost online offering to allow mums from across the country to be able to access this information.
“I am so excited to launch this course! It could have a huge impact on the NHS if more women receive education on how to look after themselves following childbirth. This information, education, advice & support is not easily available to women who need it and I want to change that,” says Anna.
