Are you frustrated every time you zip up those jeans - again - and the button just doesn’t shut? Are you searching for the energy to work out, but each day feels like an uphill battle? Do you crave those sweet compliments from your husband, like “babe, you’re looking amazing”? I’m so excited you’re here, mama!

Hey, I’m Jena - a physical therapist, wife and mama of four. After each of my pregnancies I, too, struggled with losing my postpartum pooch, low energy levels and didn’t know how to regain my strength back. As a fitness lover, I craved working out like I did before having all those babies, but found that my body just wasn’t cut out for high-intensity workouts.

Ever wonder if a postpartum belly wrap is worth it? Is it a hoax or do they actually work?
In this episode, Are Postpartum Belly Wraps Worth It? Physical Therapist Tells All, we’re diving into the 4 main reasons why I love Postpartum belly wraps (AKA postpartum girdles and abdominal binders) and why you should too!
Some of the major advantages of postpartum belly wraps that I discuss in this episode include how the wraps give you a physical reminder to do abdominal bracing, how they help your uterus return to normal size, and how they provide abdominal support. I also discuss how postpartum belly wraps assist with good posture, self-confidence, and motivation.
For further information on the best belly wraps check out this article describing the Top 12 Postpartum Belly Wraps On The Market.
If you are like, “YES!”, I want to get a belly wrap right now, then I want to recommend getting yourself a Belly Bandit belly wrap here.
