Being a mom of 2 and a physical therapist specializing in pregnancy/postpartum recovery, I have been able to curate a very specific list of props that are SO HELPFUL in maintaining strength and mobility as your body changes.

In this list you will find props to improve workout and other items that will make movement/activity more comfortable for you.
