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.

I can’t wait to share it with you - because if I can do it four times, I know you can, too!

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.
https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=811984&u=2049964&m=62855&urllink=&afftrack=
These are the #1 ranked belly wraps on the market. I am an affiliate because I love all their products, but especially their belly wraps.
Listen now to this week's episode to hear why I love postpartum belly wraps so much.

Let me ask you something—when you first decided to get back into fitness after having your baby, what was your big “why”? Maybe it was to feel more energized, to fit into your favorite jeans, or just to reclaim a part of yourself that you felt you’d lost. But life gets busy, and it’s easy to lose sight of that initial motivation. So, how do you bring that “why” back into focus and use it to crush your goals? We are diving deep into this today on the podcast!

Jena
