INTEGRATED PERINATAL FITNESS SPECIALIST COURSE
The Bump Wellness Integrated Perinatal Fitness Specialist course is a comprehensive continuing education program designed for certified fitness professionals who want to safely and effectively train pregnant and postpartum clients.
This course teaches the physiological, anatomical, biomechanical, psychological, and practical coaching considerations involved in prenatal and postpartum fitness. Students will learn how pregnancy affects cardiovascular function, respiration, thermoregulation, posture, gait, pelvic floor loading, abdominal wall function, exercise tolerance, and recovery. The course also covers trimester-specific programming, early postpartum recovery, return to strength, return to impact, diastasis recti awareness, pelvic floor symptom recognition, nutrition boundaries, trauma-informed coaching, professional ethics, screening, referral standards, and applied case studies.
The Bump Wellness approach is evidence-informed, scope-aware, and practical. The goal is not to treat pregnancy or postpartum recovery as fragile, but to help fitness professionals make better programming decisions based on symptoms, function, medical guidance, recovery capacity, and client goals.
This course does not train fitness professionals to diagnose, treat, or manage medical conditions. Instead, it provides the tools to coach movement safely, modify exercise intelligently, recognize red flags, and refer clients to qualified healthcare professionals when needed.

HOW TO USE
HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
This manual is designed to be worked through sequentially, but it also functions as a reference text after the course is complete. Most students will benefit from the following approach.
Suggested Reading Order
Begin with the front matter — Course Administration, Scope of Practice, Completion Requirements, and the Introduction — before moving into Part I. Read Parts I through IV in order. Each part builds on the foundations established in earlier chapters, particularly the core-pelvic floor canister model in Chapter 3, which is referenced throughout the prenatal and postpartum programming chapters.
Part V (the Professional Toolkit) is designed to be both studied and used in practice. Read it once during the course, then return to specific sections — case studies, intake templates, referral templates, sample splits, the red flag table, and the glossary — as ongoing reference material in your work with clients.
Chapter Components
Each chapter follows a consistent structure. Chapter Learning Objectives state what you should be able to do after completing the chapter. Body sections present the conceptual and applied content, including exercise relevance and coaching application notes. Coaching Application boxes translate physiological information into practical programming decisions. Scope of Practice Reminders appear at the end of every chapter and reinforce where the fitness professional’s role ends and where referral begins. Chapter Summary distills the key takeaways. Key Terms define core vocabulary. Chapter Review Questions test recall and application; answer keys appear directly after the questions.
