Bounce Back Gently After Baby — The Safe Way to Rebuild Strength
Gentle postpartum recovery with infrared therapy to support healing and energy.
Bringing a new life into the world is an incredible feat. But after childbirth, caring for your body and restoring your strength becomes just as important as caring for your newborn. Many new mothers in Dubai feel unsure about how to begin their postpartum recovery. Intense workouts can feel overwhelming, and the pressure to “bounce back” fast often does more harm than good. Sweat & Go’s infrared-powered sessions are designed to support gentle, science-backed postpartum wellness, so you feel re-energized, confident, and strong—at your own pace.
Understanding the Postpartum Journey
Realities After Pregnancy
Postpartum is a time of profound change for every woman:
Physical shifts: Abdominal muscles are weakened, joints remain loose, and hormone levels fluctuate.
Fatigue and emotional ups and downs: Sleep disruption, stress, and the demands of newborn care can leave you drained.
Vulnerability to injury: Intense or incorrect exercise too soon can worsen diastasis recti, pelvic floor strain, or back pain.
Many women want to restore their bodies but worry about safety, pain, or making time for themselves.
The Need for Gentle Recovery
The best approach supports healing from the inside out—with patience, not pressure.
Recovery rituals that blend movement, relaxation, and bodywork promote emotional wellbeing alongside physical repair.
How Infrared Supports Safe Postpartum Wellness
The Gentle, Science-Backed Approach
Infrared therapy at Sweat & Go combines warmth, movement, and privacy for restorative results:
Infrared capsules gently elevate core temperature, increasing blood flow for faster tissue repair and toxin removal.
Cycling in a private pod allows for low-impact movement, reducing stress on joints while rebuilding strength and cardiovascular health.
Infrared roller therapy targets sore areas, easing stiffness and supporting lymphatic drainage to reduce bloating and swelling.
Key Benefits for Mothers
Accelerates healing: Enhanced circulation helps reduce inflammation, promotes muscle recovery, and speeds up the return to pre-pregnancy tone.
Boosts energy and mood: Infrared heat stimulates endorphins and increases oxygenation, helping to lift fatigue and support a positive outlook.
Improves skin and core strength: Collagen stimulation and gentle training can help restore skin elasticity and start to re-engage the core safely.
What Happens in a Postpartum Infrared Session
Step-by-Step Experience
Personalized intake: Postpartum clients receive an assessment and guidance tailored by trained staff familiar with new mothers’ needs.
Private, calm environment: Every session takes place in a safe, quiet pod where you control the pace and privacy.
Gentle infrared cycling: Start with a slow, supportive low-impact routine or simply relax in the warmth to support lymphatic movement.
Targeted infrared roller therapy: Focus on the lower back, legs, or abdomen—where new moms often hold tension or swelling.
Relax and restore: Emerge feeling lighter, stronger, and more centered.
Safety Comes First
Only cleared for postpartum mothers after their medical provider gives approval (generally after 6 weeks or more).
Staff are sensitive to common postpartum issues (including pelvic floor pain, diastasis recti), ensuring every recommendation suits your healing stage.
Sessions are always low-pressure—you determine the pace and intensity.
