The log roll consists of rolling over to your side and using your upper body to sit you up when getting out of bed or lying in positions (click on the video below to see how). Doing this helps avoid added pressure on your core and incision. This technique is also recommended during pregnancy and well into your postpartum journey to limit an increase in abdominal pressure.
