There is a huge gap that exists in the fitness industry between when a woman has her baby and when she returns to the exercise. The focus is too often on weight loss, at the expense of…well, everything. If she isn't educated, nurtured and supported to exercise safely by a professional to rebuild her postnatal body from the inside out and goes straight back to running, bootcamp or HIIT the results can be pretty disastrous.

This is why more people need to know about Mish and her amazing team of pre and postnatal PT's. Seriously. Tell your friends!

I had a healthy active pregnancy/birth with not so much as a hiccup and could not wait to get back to my former exercise regime. However what I had envisioned I would be capable of postnatally was drastically different to the reality; abdominal separation, back pain, an over active pelvic floor and weak EVERYTHING! After a couple of months I was miserable and needed help.

Mish made an effort to ask heaps of questions to really get to the root of my issues. She was really educational, made me feel at ease, emotionally supportive and followed up with me on many occasions. Because of Mish and Mel's help, my pelvic floor knows how to chill out in between reps, my transverse abdominus activates like a ‘sliding door' when I tell it to, my back feels so much freer (no more feeling like tin-man) and my scapula retract functionally and feel so much stronger.

Mish has linked me in with an equally awesome women's health physio and through both I have learnt so much about my body and how to work with other women pre and postnatally. I'm a bit of a sceptic when it comes to people I trust to look after my health/fitness, but can honestly say I trust Mish and Mel 100% with whatever they've asked of me in the Mishfit HQ studio (which is a lovely place to work out by the way).
