Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
Prenatal Physical Therapy
Prenatal pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialized service that focuses on preparing and supporting a woman’s pelvic health during pregnancy. Our pelvic health physical therapist works with pregnant clients to assess, strengthen, or relax the pelvic floor muscles — the group of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that support the uterus, bladder, and bowels.
Why is this important? Pregnancy places extra pressure on the pelvic floor, which can lead to discomfort, urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, lower back or hip pain, and even impact birth outcomes. Prenatal pelvic PT helps by:
✔ Improving pelvic alignment and posture to reduce strain
✔ Teaching strategies to manage or prevent urinary leakage
✔ Supporting optimal baby positioning
✔ Preparing the body for labor with safe stretches and exercises
✔ Teaching perineal massage or relaxation techniques to reduce tearing risk during birth
By addressing pelvic health proactively, prenatal pelvic PT not only helps relieve current discomfort but also sets the stage for smoother labor, easier postpartum recovery, and long-term core and pelvic function.
Postpartum Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
Postpartum pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialized service designed to help mothers heal, recover, and regain strength after childbirth. Whether you’ve had a vaginal or cesarean delivery, the postpartum period places unique demands on your pelvic floor and core — and targeted support can make a world of difference.
Our pelvic health physical therapist works one-on-one with postpartum clients to:
✔ Assess pelvic floor strength, function, and coordination
✔ Address issues like urinary incontinence, pelvic heaviness, or pain with intimacy
✔ Support recovery from perineal tears, episiotomy, or cesarean scars
✔ Rebuild core strength and address diastasis recti (abdominal separation)
✔ Improve posture, breathing patterns, and body mechanics for daily tasks and baby care
Postpartum pelvic PT empowers mothers to reconnect with their bodies, reduce discomfort, and restore function — helping them feel stronger, more confident, and better supported in their recovery journey.
