Laughter also improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems. And nothing works faster at bringing your mind and body back to balance – making it a necessary tool for all mums, especially new ones.

Why Seeing a Women’s Health Physio Is So Important… Steph Claire Smith says, “Not listening to your body postpartum and returning to exercise sooner than your body is ready, can negatively impact your health and well-being. This is something Kic’s physio @ashlaniormond told me after I had Harvey when I mentioned that my pelvic floor was feeling heavy. So, she suggested I see a women’s health physio for an internal scan – which confirmed my bladder prolapse. If prolapse doesn’t get diagnosed and you go on to exercise, it can become worse and, for some, irreversible. My postpartum journey could’ve looked very different. This is why I’m SO passionate about raising awareness for new mums to take it slow, listen to their bodies and seek expert advice if things don’t feel right for you.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kic (@kic.app) Kic is available to download on the App Store and via Google Play.
