Our 8-Week Core & Pelvic Floor Course is a guided plan that helps you rebuild your deep core, fix pelvic floor issues, and feel strong again after childbirth. If you leak, hurt, or feel weak in the middle months after giving birth, you are not alone. Most moms in Holly Springs never get a real plan to fix it. 

Free YouTube videos send you in circles. That is why Hometown Chiropractic built What to Expect: Inside our 8-Week Core & Pelvic Floor Course. It mixes pelvic floor exercises, deep core work, and gentle mindful movement. So, do you still want to skip? We hope not, because this guide breaks the whole 8 week plan down for you below.

Key Takeaways

  • The 8-Week Core & Pelvic Floor Course is an online program built by Hometown Chiropractic in Holly Springs, NC, for postpartum moms.
  • Each week builds on the last, starting with breathing in week 1 and ending with full-body strength in week 8.
  • The course is safe for vaginal birth moms, c-section moms, and moms with diastasis recti at any postpartum stage.
  • Dr. Taylor Cox is Webster Certified through ICPA and runs the course with full team and pelvic floor PT support.
  • Most moms see fewer leaks, less pelvic pain, and a smaller diastasis gap within 4 to 6 weeks.

What is the 8-Week Core & Pelvic Floor Course?

The 8-Week Core & Pelvic Floor Course is an 8-week program that walks you step by step through pelvic floor and core healing.

Dr. Taylor Cox built this course for moms in their postpartum journey. The format is online with optional in-office visits at our Holly Springs office. We blend breathing techniques, strength training, and pregnancy and postpartum corrective moves into one plan. The WCNC building gives you direct access to pelvic floor pt, massage, and a fitness lab. Read more on our 8 Week Core & Pelvic Floor Course page.

The course is for any mama who wants to feel strong again, fix pelvic floor dysfunction, or get back to the workouts she loves. We built it for moms at every stage of motherhood. Here is who fits best:

  • New moms past their 6 week clearance after vaginal birth
  • C-section moms past 8 to 10 weeks postpartum
  • Moms with diastasis or a belly pooch that will not go away
  • Moms with leaks, urinary incontinence, or prolapse worry
  • Moms with postpartum pelvic pain or after giving birth pelvic pain
  • Athletes ready to run, squat, lunge, or hit CrossFit again
  • Moms who tried free programs and hit a plateau
  • Moms 1, 5, or 10 years past childbirth

What does each week of the course look like?

Each week of the 8-week program builds on the last, starting with breathing in week 1 and ending with full strength in week 8. We start small and grow as your pelvic floor muscles wake up. Here is the week-by-week breakdown:

WeekFocusWhat You Do
Week 1Breathing and activationDiaphragmatic breathing, gentle Kegels
Week 2Deep core wake-upPelvic tilts, pelvic floor exercises lying down
Week 3Restoring functionBird dog, glute bridges
Week 4Mobility and postureHip openers, gentle yoga flows
Week 5Core strengthSide planks, resistance bands work
Week 6Glutes and booty liftBodyweight squats and lunges
Week 7Load and rebuildBanded squats, deadlifts, rows
Week 8Full-body lift prepCarries, gentle plyometric exercises

The order matters. Skipping ahead is what causes most moms to fail at home. What you learn along the way:

  • How to do Kegel exercise moves and reverse Kegels the right way
  • How to brace your core without pushing your belly out
  • How to lift your baby without back pain
  • How to spot moves that hurt your pelvic floor

How much time does the course take per week?

The course takes about 20 to 30 minutes a day, 4 to 5 days a week, which fits inside one nap.

Most moms run through it during nap time or after bedtime. You do not need full hour blocks. Quick daily wins beat long weekly grinds. The whole week course adds up to about 2 hours of real movement.

What equipment do you need?

You only need a yoga mat, a pillow, and light bands to do the whole 8 weeks at home.

Most moms already have what they need. Quick gear list:

  • Must have: yoga mat, water bottle, pillow
  • Add by week 5: light resistance bands
  • Add by week 7: dumbbells (5 to 10 pounds)
  • Nice to have: foam roller for hip work

What problems does the course help fix?

The course helps fix leaks, diastasis, pelvic pain, low back pain, and the weak core feeling that lingers after pregnancy. We see these issues in Holly Springs moms every week. The course works on:

  • Leaks when you cough, laugh, sneeze, or run
  • A diastasis gap and the belly bulge
  • Postpartum pubic pain, postpartum ovary pain, and ovarian pain after childbirth
  • Pelvic floor pain after pregnancy and sharp pelvic pain postpartum
  • Severe pelvic pain postpartum that limits daily life
  • Postpartum pain in pelvic area from a tilted pelvis
  • Low back pain from carrying the baby
  • Pain during sex
  • A blocked path back to running or lifting
  • Pelvic pressure or heaviness by night

What results can you expect by week 8?

By week 8, most moms feel stronger, lift their kids without back pain, and notice fewer leaks and less pelvic pressure.

Real wins from moms who finish the course:

  • By week 2: less pelvic pressure and discomfort
  • By week 4: fewer leaks when you sneeze, real symptom relief
  • By week 6: a smaller diastasis gap and stronger rectus muscles
  • By week 8: real strength, less pelvic pain, more confidence
  • After week 8: a clear path back to running, lifting, pilates, or yoga
  • Better posture and stronger glutes for daily life

What makes this course different from free YouTube programs?

This course is different because a real chiropractor built it, runs it, and backs it up with in-person care in Holly Springs. YouTube is great for quick tips, but it cannot answer your questions. It cannot check your form. With our course you get:

  • A real Webster Certified chiropractor behind the plan
  • A clear weekly path, not random video roulette
  • Optional in-office visits at our Holly Springs office
  • A team that knows your name
  • Safe progressions for diastasis and c-section moms
  • A holistic plan that fits your anatomy and stage

How does Hometown Chiropractic support you through the course?

Hometown Chiropractic supports you with chiropractic adjustments, hands-on care, and the full WCNC team in one building.

You are not alone with the videos. Dr. Taylor checks your pelvis and tailors the plan. Soft tissue work loosens tightness in the hips and lower back. Read more about adjustments on our neuro spine chiropractic care page.

What you get from the team:

  • A full pelvic and core muscles check before week 1
  • Chiropractic adjustments if your pelvis is tilted
  • The Webster Technique for postpartum alignment
  • Cupping and soft tissue work for tight muscle spots
  • A direct path to a pelvic floor physical therapist
  • A personalize-style plan that fits your goals
