Pregnancy & Postpartum Care

☀

Pregnancy and postpartum are significant seasons of change, and every person’s experience is different. Our role is to support you through those changes with individualized care, education, and strategies that help you feel more comfortable and confident in your body.

During Pregnancy

Your body changes tremendously throughout pregnancy. Physical therapy can help you navigate those changes whether you are managing symptoms, preparing for birth, or simply looking for guidance about how to keep moving comfortably.

We Can Support You With

  • Pelvic, hip, back, or abdominal pain
  • Pelvic heaviness or pressure
  • Bladder or bowel changes and leakage
  • Difficulty moving, lifting, or caring for other children
  • Education about changes occurring throughout pregnancy
  • Preparation for labor and birth
  • Breathing, positioning, and pressure-management strategies
  • Staying active and modifying exercise as your pregnancy progresses

After Baby Arrives

The postpartum experience is shaped by much more than how many weeks have passed since delivery. Your pregnancy, birth experience, support system, other children, sleep, feeding demands, and timeline for returning to work, exercise, and daily activities can all influence recovery.

Your recovery deserves to be individualized to your body, your experience, and your goals.

Postpartum Physical Therapy May Help With

  • Pelvic, abdominal, hip, or back pain
  • Pain or difficulty returning to intimacy
  • Changes in bladder or bowel function
  • Pelvic pressure, heaviness, or prolapse symptoms
  • Diastasis recti and abdominal wall recovery
  • C-section scar mobility or sensitivity
  • Returning to exercise, lifting, running, or the gym
  • Rebuilding strength, coordination, and confidence with movement

This is not an exhaustive list. If something simply doesn’t feel right, or you’re wondering whether pelvic health physical therapy could support you during pregnancy or postpartum, please reach out. We can talk through your concerns and determine together what next steps may be appropriate.
