Pregnancy and Postpartum
From early pregnancy to postpartum, your body goes through remarkable changes — and physical therapy can be a steady source of support along the way. With specialized training in pelvic health, we can help address the challenges that come with each stage, offering care that’s responsive, empowering, and tailored to your goals.
Navigating fitness and pain during pregnancy, and after giving birth
Pregnancy: Helping navigate physical changes
Physical therapy during pregnancy and after delivery is essential for managing common musculoskeletal issues, enhancing mobility, and preparing for childbirth. Pregnancy is both a joyful and challenging time, filled with questions about activity levels, how to stay fit, and how to avoid discomfort. Should you stop running or lifting weights? How can you prevent urinary incontinence? Physical therapy can address these concerns, helping you stay active, reduce stress, improve sleep, and support overall health.
By working with you before symptoms arise, we can prevent pregnancy-related musculoskeletal problems and optimize your wellbeing during this transformative period. A pelvic floor physical therapist offers specialized knowledge to guide your body through the stages of pregnancy and delivery.
Postpartum care: Essential recovery for new moms
Postpartum rehabilitation is just as crucial as prenatal care. After nine months of pregnancy and childbirth, your body requires attention and support to heal properly. Physical therapy can help address common postpartum concerns such as urinary leakage, back pain, diastasis recti (abdominal separation), scar tissue, pelvic pressure, painful intercourse, and more.
Whether you’re dealing with unexpected challenges or seeking to strengthen your body after childbirth, pelvic floor physical therapy can help you recover and feel stronger in your new role as a mom.
