Question 1

What is Restore Your Core® (RYC®), and who is it for?

Accepted Answer

RYC® is a whole-body movement program that rebuilds core and pelvic floor function. It is built for anyone who wants to move without leaking, pain, or pressure — postpartum or not, and at any age.

Question 2

What is the Restore Your Core® 12-Week Program and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

The program runs for twelve weeks with a new module each week. Each module layers movement, breath, and alignment work so change compounds rather than being a set of isolated exercises.

Question 3

Is RYC® recommended by professionals?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pelvic floor physical therapists, occupational therapists, and midwives refer clients to RYC®, and over 700 professionals have trained in the method.

Question 4

What is RYC® FIT and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

RYC® FIT is our online fitness studio membership: smart, playful, accessible classes for all bodies. It is a fitness membership rather than a rehab program.

Question 5

What is RYC® Pro Training and who is it for?

Accepted Answer

Pro Training certifies movement and health professionals to teach the RYC® method to their own clients.

Question 6

Can RYC® help with pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Many members come to RYC® with leaking, prolapse, or pressure symptoms and see meaningful change. RYC® is not a substitute for medical care — see a clinician for diagnosis.

Question 7

What are signs of a weak pelvic floor?

Accepted Answer

Leaking when you cough, sneeze, or run; a feeling of heaviness or bulging; back or hip pain; and a core that domes or bulges during effort are all common signs.

Question 8

Does the RYC® 12-Week Program help with prolapse?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The program addresses the pressure system that manages prolapse symptoms, and many members report a reduction in symptoms and a return to activities they had given up.

Question 9

Is this a safe postpartum recovery program?

Accepted Answer

It is designed to be. Start once you have been cleared by your care provider, and the early modules meet you where you are rather than assuming a fitness base.

Question 10

How is Restore Your Core® different from other fitness or rehab programs?

Accepted Answer

Most programs isolate the core. RYC® treats the pelvic floor as part of a whole-body pressure system, so ribs, breath, feet, and hips are all part of the work.

Question 11

I’ve tried kegels. Why didn’t they work?

Accepted Answer

Kegels train one muscle group to squeeze. If the problem is pressure management, alignment, or a pelvic floor that is already too tight, squeezing harder does not resolve it.

Question 12

Can RYC® help with back pain and other core-related symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Yes — back pain, hip pain, and rib flare are commonly reported alongside core and pelvic floor symptoms, and the program addresses them as part of the same system.

Question 13

Is RYC® FIT part of the rehab program?

Accepted Answer

RYC® works well alongside pelvic floor physical therapy. Many members do both, and many pelvic floor PTs recommend RYC® as the movement half of their clients recovery.

Question 14

Do I need equipment to get started with RYC®?

Accepted Answer

Very little. A mat and a wall will cover most of the program; a few modules use a small ball or a strap, both of which are easy to substitute.

Question 15

Is there community support or 1-on-1 help available?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Members get access to a private community, and our free Facebook group of 35,000+ women is open to anyone.
