The Pre/Postnatal Screening & Consultation: Improve Your Assessment to Improve Your Programming

About this course

During and after pregnancy, moms are looking for expert guidance and, we as professionals they trust, have a huge responsibility in helping them go from the point of knowing what the physical activity recommendations are to actually putting them into practice. Less than 25% of moms-to-be meet the physical activity guidelines during pregnancy, and new moms are at a high risk of continued reduction in physical activity during the postpartum period. There are many reasons why pregnant and postpartum moms are inactive, and the assessment is our tool to identify those barriers and design an exercise program that takes those factors into account. By improving our screenings and consultations we can help more moms stay active through all 40 weeks of pregnancy and return to exercise after having a baby.

What you will learn

• Use the assessment to identify prenatal/postpartum conditions and concerns that will impact exercise programming
• Recognize and validate "mom barriers" to exercise by asking the right questions during a consultation
• Discuss what movements might be the most helpful to assess before designing an exercise program
