Postpartum, Representation & Recovery — What Real Moms Need to Know — with physiotherapist SURABHI VEITCH

Send us Fan MailToday I speak with Surabhi Veitch, the owner of The Passionate Physio, a Registered Physiotherapist, a Pregnancy & Postpartum Athleticism Coach, and a mom to 2 incredible humans. Surabhi is passionate about breaking the status quo on what it means to be a mom. She believes that motherhood doesn’t have to mean sacrificing who you are. As a cyclist, skier, dancer and climber, she loves helping moms get back to feeling active, strong, confident and secure in their bodies. She offers her signature small-group Postpartum Return to Exercise Program (PREP), and her BASE Fitness Membership to help busy moms gain strength and mobility with quick & effective home workouts. She also offers 1:1 online Physiotherapy and Fitness Coaching to help people navigate symptoms like leaks, prolapse and aches. Surabhi tells us of how she switched from orthopedics into pelvic health after the experience she had after her daughter was born. She wanted to help other moms avoid the loss of identity as an athlete she experienced and to get back to their sports in the 4th trimester.  Surabhi and I get into the nitty gritty of motherhood and what she is doing to change the conversation on self-care.
