DISCLAIMER and WAIVER

This program is not a replacement for pelvic physiotherapy or physical therapy of any kind. If you are currently injured and unable to participate in exercise, please seek out proper medical attention and clearance for exercise from your doctor BEFORE participating.

Please read and sign below. Signing DOES NOT contractually obligate you to purchase a program.

I hereby affirm that I am voluntarily starting a course of instruction in physical fitness and performance training (The Postpartum Performance Program). I am voluntarily participating in The Postpartum Performance Program entirely at my own risk. In full consideration of the risk of injury while participating in The Postpartum Performance Program, and for the right to participate in The Postpartum Performance Program, I hereby, for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, assigns, or personal representatives, knowingly and voluntarily participate in this waiver and release of liability and hereby waive any and all rights, claims or causes of action of any kind whatsoever arising out of my participation in The Postpartum Performance Program, their affiliates, managers, members, agents, attorneys, staff, volunteers, heirs, representatives, predecessors, successors and assigns, for any kind of risks related to traveling to and from as well as participating in The Postpartum Performance Program, which may include, but are not limited to, physical or psychological injury, pain, suffering, illness, disfigurement, temporary or permanent disability, economic or emotional loss, and death. I acknowledge that I have carefully read this form and fully understand that it is a release of liability. I expressly agree to release and discharge the trainer or instructor from any and all claims or causes of action and I agree to voluntarily give up or waive any right that I may otherwise have to bring legal action for personal injury or property damage.

PLEASE READ:

Ideally, this sort of assessment would be done in-person.

However, for the sake of potentially optimizing your program we will have you attempt to determine your structural bias by looking at the angle between your lower ribs, which we will call the ISA.

We simply want to determine if your ISA is greater than or less than 90º.

This will provide useful information regarding how your trunk and pelvis manage internal pressures related to movement and performance.

If you have a companion to help you, relax on your back with feet flat and knees bent as they use the edge of their thumbs to outline the general shape of the underside of the rim of the lower ribs. Some people will be more clearly biased one way or the other, but simply make your best determination.

The notes in the purple and red boxes may provide additional clues if you are having difficulty visually determining your ISA bias. If you were naturally better at certain activities, this can potentially lend to determining your structural bias.

Please select the body type that is most similar to your own. This will allow your program to be tailored to your individual body type in order to maximize results.

The proportional relationship between ribcage and pelvis can play a considerable role in how we manage internal pressures associated with movement and performance.

This consideration becomes especially important for postpartum exercise selection as we aim to reinforce effective pressurization capabilities in the pelvis and abdomen.

Please select the body type that is most similar to your own. This will allow your program to be tailored to your individual body type in order to maximize results.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Your answer to this question is unrelated to your answer to the previous question.

Develop an unparalleled sense of body awareness and sustain an active and healthy lifestyle with The Postpartum Performance Program for Mobility & Stability.

You will begin with an initial postpartum-focused program in Phase 1 to specifically address the most common issues women face when returning to exercise after pregnancy. We will focus on mobility exercises for restoring motion to the pelvis and ribcage, learn to coordinate breath and movement to optimize abdominal function, and begin to offset any ingrained compensatory movement strategies that may otherwise interfere with your progress as you begin your main personalized program in the next phase.

In Phase 2 you will begin a progressive program that is coherent with your body type and your goal of to move and exercise comfortably and confidently. At first, the program will focus on mostly bodyweight exercises and relatively lightly loaded exercises as you develop a refined sense of body awareness, breath control, and coordination. Over time, the program will steadily increase in intensity as we continue to challenge and expand your skills and abilities.
