Sound Good? - Want to see if your body has fully reset since having your baby? Yes! As a Mum of four, my body certainly got used to being pregnant. I forgot ALL about being a fancy dancey Olympic swimmer!! I still catch myself in photos and life, years later, standing with my belly out, knees locked back, and hanging off my poor little hip flexors. Habits that we develop in pregnancy stick with us, as do some of the inevitable changes in our rib cage and pelvis. As a physio of 28years I've helped many women overcome these patterns, I'd like to help you too. We all know the song, your thigh bone’s connected to the knee bone, The knee bone’s connected to the shin bone…that’s what gets results! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/604b3651de6150755eb5a343/t/6094f49cdf5a9e12d2cdf7e3/1622797442751/barrett-ward-1qQx3LHaYGg-unsplash.jpg Blog - How about a Full Body Factory Reset?!

It took me almost four weeks to get my brain to talk to my toes and get them to fan out! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/604b3651de6150755eb5a343/t/6094f4d38555c95fc120a2e7/1622797448926/kids-me-germany-Zzgmde4_lYU-unsplash.jpg Blog - How about a Full Body Factory Reset?!

We all start from exactly where we are, your body is capable of anything, it’s your mind you have to convince. Start replacing ‘I will never’ with I WILL’! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/604b3651de6150755eb5a343/t/6092aa8eac13777b7093a1d3/1622797595549/daiga-ellaby--0KARP5Jh_8-unsplash.jpg Blog - How about a Full Body Factory Reset?! Sound Good? - Muscles and joints eventually go on strike Many people never truly feel the same again after having a baby. Often this is because some of the connections aren’t firing, one side tightens up, or our body figures out a workaround for a pain point which then puts pressure elsewhere up or down the chain. Muscles and joints asked to do more than their designed function, eventually, go on strike! Sometimes patterns from pregnancy persist like ribs lifted and flared or high hinge pattern in our spines. This can lead to some common post-pregnancy problem spots. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/604b3651de6150755eb5a343/t/6092b2498722dd259717aaf8/1622459660259/andriyko-podilnyk-yhk_zsfgw0g-unsplash.jpg Blog - How about a Full Body Factory Reset?!

Here are some body tests you can do to check whether you have good mobility and asymmetrical body, well come on, marks out of 10 Side sit comfortably on both sides Get up to standing from lying on the ground without using your hands? Stand up and sit down from a chair using just one leg, and then the other one!? Sit down on your wee hunkers, with your heels on the ground? Sit on the floor comfortably for >5mins? Separate your toes, fan them out, all five using just your feet muscles? Stand on one leg with your eyes closed for a minute? Place your hands on your head, keep elbows still and roll your shoulders? ‘sit’ on the wall, fingertips touching at your crown, elbows together, then touch the wall? Jump on a trampoline without a shred of worry about a little leak?

I've worked with thousands of mothers over my 28years of being a physio. Getting back to work is a major hurdle for every MUM.

With the added change in body shape and breathing, interrupted sleep, and incomplete strengthening of stretched parts during pregnancy sitting although welcome at first can start to become a problem with aches and pains developing in the neck, back, shoulders, and wrists. Time in work is often book-ended by creche or childminder picks and drops, so racing under pressure in the commute is felt all the time. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/604b3651de6150755eb5a343/t/608a8dd5cca78f426f31edcb/1619693091993/businesswoman-working-from-home-holding-baby-girl-RWTNXAT.jpg Blog - How to get new mums back to work happily! - Support to your ‘Worker Mums’ coming back to Work.

But with retirement from swimming and coaching, real life took over!! Lots of trips to pools in lots of countries was the reward as a young swimmer. A swimming scholarship to West Virginia University, ‘home of the Mountaineers!’ was the icing on the cake. The cherry on top? I was lucky enough to represent Ireland at the Olympics in Seoul in 1988. Traveling with physiotherapy was fun, I moved all over the States, traveled down under, and also had a marvelous life-enhancing stint in Zimbabwe as an Irish aid worker. Meeting and marrying Tony came next along with having three fab boys! This inspired my Aqua4mums business. Being in the pool when pregnant simply can’t be beaten! At last count, more than 3000 babies and their mums have enjoyed aqua-natal with me. Being inspired, empowered, and feeling fit for birth. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/604b3651de6150755eb5a343/t/60b0bbb45fd0a919a714578a/1622195126952/Bear+%26+Repair+Background+Colours+1200x800px.png About Us - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.bearandrepair.ie/booking-forms daily 0.75 2021-03-12 https://www.bearandrepair.ie/home daily 1.0 2021-06-24 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/604b3651de6150755eb5a343/t/60b9cd7474508070400c7830/1622789732889/Aileen-111.JPG Home - We invite you to take some time to explore and learn about the changes that occur in your body when bearing children and indulge in a little TLC, repairing and resetting.

I've watched my husband Tony come to grips (literally) with our four babies. My advice-giving credentials to Dads are hard-won! Tony frequently received my caring and instructive feedback about standing better when holding the baby, or how to bend from the hips when using the changing table or sitting supported when feeding, just so he wouldn't be moaning about having a sore back, shoulder, or neck to add to my to-do list! No one mentioned nagging! I'll pass on these important nuggets of gold advice to you too. He also taught me that letting go of some of my control, letting him find his own way of doing things even though they were different to mine paved the way for a more harmonious relationship and life. And yes I'll admit it, he was often right and his way worked very well also. Want to know more?
