産後は腰痛に悩むことが多いですよね。
ホルモンの影響と骨盤低筋群の機能が低下している状態のため、放置すると育児をしながらの生活で歪んでしまい、更年期以降に続く慢性的な腰痛や尿漏れなどの原因にもなります。
フランスなど他国では、骨盤底筋のリハビリが”100％保険適応”となる程とても重要なのです！
腰痛の予防やケアには、ターメリックなどの食材を取り入れたり、入院中や自宅でもできる骨盤底筋のヨガを取り入れることもおすすめです。
産後1日目からできる骨盤低筋群を締めるヨガを「マタニティヨーガ指導者資格保有の助産師 棚元」からご紹介します。

After childbirth, we often suffer from back pain.
If left untreated, the pelvic floor muscles can become unbalanced due to the effects of hormones and the reduced function of the lower pelvic muscles, which can lead to chronic back pain and urinary leakage, even through menopause!
In other countries, such as France, pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation is so important that it is 100% covered by public insurance!
Along with using foods such as tumeric, it is recommended to do pelvic floor muscle yoga at the hospital or at home, in order to prevent and care for back pain.
Here are some yoga exercises to tighten the low pelvic muscles that can be done from the first day after childbirthm, introduced by Mayu Tanamoto, a certified maternity yoga instructor and a licensed nurse-midwife in Japan.
