Pilates can look deceptively simple from the outside. One person is lying on a mat doing slow, controlled movements. Another is on a machine with springs, straps, and a sliding carriage.

Pregnancy and the postpartum period bring significant changes to a woman's body. During this time, certain movements and postures can affect recovery and overall health. One such movement to be cautious about is flexion, which involves bending forward at the waist. Avoiding flexion during pregnancy and after giving birth plays a crucial role in protecting the spine, pelvic floor, and abdominal muscles.
