Provide you with the exact tangible action steps (no matter what your age) to give you more energy, free of worry, and the active lifestyle you deserve! You train to get your body to look or perform a certain way, but do you train to restore, heal, and perform for the demands of motherhood following a nine-month period that has put a significant strain on your physical body? As you reach your 40s, 50s, and beyond and facing unnecessary surgeries and use of medications, there is available conservative and effective options, as noted in this book, to keep free from worrying about your future health. If you or someone you know has had a baby (whether weeks, months, or even YEARS ago!), this is a must-read so you are not left in the dark and you can feel like yourself again--no matter what your age! "Dr. Andalon highlights something in motherhood that is so important, that once you become a mother you are always postpartum. Women have been taught by society to not talk about how our bodies really change once we have babies, and therefore, important issues we face in regards to our female health are overlooked." --Lara Schulte Co- Founder, Generation.Mom About the Author: Dr. Dawn Andalon is a physical therapist, educator, author, and co-owner of LEVEL4 Physio in Encinitas, CA.
