rehab & recovery videos
step 1: early rehab videos
These 3 videos were filmed during my own recovery at weeks 2,4 and 6.
They are designed with mobilising the body and strengthening the pelvic floor in a progressive, gradual way in mind - from fairly still to more dynamically, after all women donβt have problems with their pelvic floor when standing still but when mid movement!
Please use common sense and your own sensation of when you are ready to follow these videos as every woman will have a different recovery.
Recovery 1
This is a 30 minute mobility, basic pelvic floor and core rehab workout for women who have recently had a hysterectomy and are ready to start doing very gentle movement again. To be started when post operative pain is low and you can move around. Generally from 2-6 weeks, person dependant.
Recovery 2
Following on from Hysterectomy Recovery Workout 1, this workout continues to train the pelvic floor in standing and lying postures, adding slightly more movement designed to strengthen the pelvic floor to be flexible and strong. We also progress abdominal loading gently and include mobility designed to free the trunk and hips and internal organs.
Recovery 3
The third video in the hysterectomy recovery series. This session begins to add more movement and a touch of controlled impact along with pelvic floor integration into every exercise. Strengthening the pelvic floor in action so that it can respond to quicker changes of direction and intra-abdominal pressure during movement - which is where we are more likely to have issues than in a lying or seated position.
step 2: bridging programme
If you're eager to keep pushing forward on your recovery journey with me, you've got some fantastic options: my 6-week video programme or personalised recovery training.
Now, let's chat about the 6-week video programme. I created this as an awesome alternative to 1:1 training because I understand that personalised training isn't always in everyone's budget or necessary for everyone. The cost for this programme is intentionally kept low, considering all the hours of research, planning, filming, and editing that went into it. My goal is to make it accessible to as many of you as possible.
The 6-week video programme is your ticket to progress from the point where you can confidently tackle the 3rd Early Recovery video (around week 6/8), all the way to feeling like you're back in the groove of proper workouts. You'll be ready to jump back into your favorite sport or activity with the confidence that your body is up to the challenge.
This course is a general guide, perfect for those of you looking to get back to gym-based fitness work after surgery, without any contraindications or complications. Now, if you have specific sports goals or other injuries or medical conditions, the 12-week personalised training programme is where the magic happens. And guess what? You can do it online or join me at my Studio if you happen to be local to East Horsley in Surrey.
Feeling a bit unsure about which path to take? No worries at all! Just fill out the contact form, and we'll arrange a chat. I'm here to give you the best recommendation based on your unique circumstances and budget, always looking out for what's best for YOU.
Let's continue this amazing journey together! π

What People Are Saying about the bridging course
βYou have a lovely style of delivering the instructions - so clear and never rushed and I enjoy the sense of being 'companioned' through the training each week! I'm also enjoying the progression from one week to the next: there is always something new and interesting in the content, so it never feels dull or repetitive.β β Lynn
βI love the way the programme is building from week to week, and I can see my progress so clearly since the early days. 5/6 definitely felt like a switch from 'recuperation/recovery' into active work - a proper workout, and it was good that you named that in the videos.ββ Pippa
βI thoroughly enjoyed these last two weeks of workouts, and they felt like a great ending to the recovery process. I particularly enjoyed the descending pyramid at the very end (Cardio Wk 6) - it was an exhilarating way to finish.β β Claire
