Prenatal & Postpartum

Specialized care and treatment for motherhood.

How can physical therapy help?

Women can benefit from pelvic floor physical therapy before, during, and after pregnancy. It’s never too early, or too late, to start your journey to preventative care or pain relief.

We partner with mothers and birthing people, whether cesarean or a vaginal birth, to prepare their bodies for the demands and pelvic stress of pregnancy and childbirth. Together, we work to help reduce pain, improve strength, and create strategies to reduce tearing.

Pregnancy

  • Sacroiliac joint or pubic bone pain (SPD)
  • Low back pain or hip pain
  • Urinary leakage
  • Constipation
  • Pelvic organ prolapse
  • Diastasis Recti/Abdominal wall muscle separation
  • Pelvic floor muscle/core strengthening
  • Preparation for vaginal or cesarean birth or VBAC

Postpartum

  • Urinary leakage
  • Constipation, Hemorrhoids
  • Recovery from vaginal or cesarean birth
  • Diastasis Recti/Abdominal wall muscle separation
  • Return to exercise
  • Return to intercourse
  • Low back or hip pain
  • Pelvic organ prolapse
  • Pelvic floor muscle and core strengthening

You're unique and so is your treatment. We typically see individuals six weeks following the pregnancy but that timing can (and should) vary depending on individual circumstances.
