There are three main components to postpartum recovery, says Amy Meehan, DPT and founder of Revelle Physical Therapy in Atlanta. "It's best to think about them in three phases: recover, restore, return to workout." With that in mind, she says that starting to rebuild the core and pelvic floor can start as early as two weeks postpartum.
