Stop commercialising postpartum care and "pelvic floor or diastasis recti"?

from The Healthy Post Natal Body Podcast · host Peter Lap

Send us Fan MailWouldn't it be nice if postpartum recovery was included in the NHS services, as they should be? Rather than NHS GPs making Instagram commercials for private, and expensive, postpartum recovery programs we should ALWAYS be pushing for FREE access for women.The Americanisation of British healthcare is a real problem and, the truth is, we would not accept this if this was happening for anything other than postpartum recovery?Imagine NHS GPs advertising for people to get cataract treatment private. Or saying that "loads of people come to me with a broken leg so I tell them to buy X-program"!It is outrageous that an essential service is being outsourced and that many women are being priced out of access.So that's what I spend the first 15 or so minutes talking about, then I move on to "pelvic floor or diastasis recti?".One of my PT colleagues, who is also a client, asked why online recovery programs now seemed to focus much more on pelvic floor in their advertising than they do on diastasis recti? What is the reason behind this change? Have the programs changed??As always; HPNB is, and always will be, FREE for 3 months.If you decide you want to do the rest of the program, after only 5 months of paying $10/£8 a month you now get FREE LIFE TIME ACCESS! That's $50 max spend, in case you were wondering. Though I'm not terribly active on  Instagram and Facebook you can follow us there. I am however active on Threads so find me there!
