The number of moms we’ve seen who’ve been told “you just need to strengthen your core” — and it didn’t work — is staggering.
What if your core isn’t weak? What if it’s stuck?
Why Strengthening Doesn’t Always Work
If your hip flexors are adhesed…
If your diaphragm doesn’t expand evenly…
If your scar limits movement through the abdominal wall…
No amount of planks, bird dogs, or pelvic tilts will fix the deeper issue.
In fact, they might make things worse.
When you try to load a system that can’t move, you create more compensation. Your low back and hips take on more stress. You feel worse, not better.
The Smart Strengthening Approach
Our canister-based rehab prioritizes:
-
Restoring 360-degree pressure in the core
-
Mobilizing the hip flexors, adductors, and low back
-
Ensuring clean movement before load
Only then do we introduce:
-
Modified dead bug variations
-
Bird Dogs and other hip stability exercises
-
Controlled tempo work for endurance and coordination
Each of these exercises is selected based on your current range, control, and pain status. We progress deliberately—not aggressively.
We’re not interested in throwing 100 exercises at you. We’re interested in the right progression at the right time.
You’re Not Weak — You’re Ready for the Right Approach
If you’ve tried traditional postpartum rehab and still feel unstable, you’re not broken. You just haven’t had the deeper restrictions addressed yet.
At Resolve STS in Charlotte, this is what we do every day.
Let’s figure out what’s stuck—so you can feel strong again.
