Pregnancy and Postpartum

pelvic health physical therapy and birth preparation

The motherhood journey can be challenging with a lot of changes within your body. That’s where we come in!

We can help at the early stages with fertility as well as first trimester aches and pains. Typical pregnancy symptoms include low back pain, SI pain, pubic symphysis pain, tailbone pain, urinary frequency or urinary leakage, as well as constipation. You may also notice some coning in the middle of your belly as you progress throughout pregnancy. Our job is to ensure your pelvic floor remains strong, your core remains active, and your pelvic remains stable!

During 3rd trimester is when we focus on the opposite approach. We help you find movement and flexibility within your pelvis, relaxation and length of your pelvic floor, and proper breathing strategies in order to ease with childbirth. 

Postpartum, we recommend coming in as early as 2-4 weeks in order to reconnect to your core and pelvic floor while caring for your baby. We work on lifting techniques, baby wearing and holding posture, as well as returning to exercise.
