Prenatal and Postpartum Pelvic Health Care

Our specialized pelvic health services are designed to support women through every stage of their pregnancy journey—from planning for pregnancy to postpartum healing. Pregnancy and childbirth are transformative events, and our goal is to provide the tools and resources needed to optimize your pelvic health, prepare for a smoother delivery, and support your postpartum recovery. With telehealth, our expertise is accessible from the comfort and privacy of your home.

  • Pre-Conception & Early Pregnancy Screening

    If you are planning to conceive or have recently learned you’re pregnant, our therapists can perform a pelvic health screening to identify and address any pre-existing concerns that could impact your pregnancy experience. By focusing on pelvic health and musculoskeletal alignment early on, we help you lay the foundation for a healthy, comfortable pregnancy.

    Early Screening and Improvement: We evaluate your current pelvic health, address any symptoms, and provide exercises to improve function and strength, optimizing your body for pregnancy and delivery.

    Preparing for Pregnancy Changes: We educate you on upcoming physical changes and how to best support your body as it adapts to these new demands.

  • Support & Preparation for Birth

    As your body changes, we serve as a resource to help you manage symptoms, prepare for childbirth, and reduce the likelihood of complications. With expert guidance, you’ll learn strategies for enhancing comfort and developing strength to prepare for delivery.

    Management of Pregnancy-Related Discomforts: We address common concerns like pelvic girdle pain, back pain, and other musculoskeletal discomforts through gentle exercises and techniques tailored to each trimester.

    Labor Preparation Techniques: With instruction on perineal massage, we help reduce the risk of perineal tears or the need for an episiotomy, aiding in a smoother delivery experience. We also provide guidance on breathing, labor positions, and core activation, preparing you for a more empowered birth.

    Pelvic Floor Strengthening and Flexibility: By developing pelvic strength and flexibility, we prepare the body for childbirth, helping to manage symptoms like incontinence and increase endurance for labor.

  • Early Check-In for Recovery & Healing

    Once your baby is born, we offer an immediate follow-up to help manage initial recovery, addressing any scarring, pain, or discomfort and providing key steps to improve healing. This early intervention is a critical component of a smoother, more comfortable postpartum recovery.

    Scar and Pain Management: We provide guidance on C-section scar mobilization, as well as care for perineal tears, to promote healing and reduce discomfort.

    Body Mechanics and Nursery Tips: Our therapists offer advice on body mechanics to prevent injury and improve comfort as you adapt to feeding, lifting, and caring for your baby.

Postpartum Rehabilitation: Comprehensive Recovery During the Fourth Trimester and Beyond

The "fourth trimester"—the first three months after childbirth—is a crucial time for recovery and adjustment. During this period, your body undergoes significant healing and re-adaptation, and our structured rehabilitation program provides the support you need to navigate this phase with confidence and care. Starting at six weeks postpartum, we guide you through each step, addressing common postpartum concerns and helping you regain strength and function.

  • Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation and Diastasis Recti Recovery: Our targeted exercises are designed to restore core stability, address abdominal separation (diastasis recti), and improve pelvic floor strength and control to help alleviate symptoms such as incontinence.

  • Scar Mobilization and Healing Techniques: We provide guidance on C-section and perineal scar mobilization to reduce discomfort, improve tissue mobility, and support optimal healing.

  • Customized Exercise Prescription for the Fourth Trimester: Our therapists create a personalized plan that gradually rebuilds strength, flexibility, and endurance, preparing you for a safe and sustainable return to physical activity. The program is tailored to help you feel strong, resilient, and supported as you adjust to life with a newborn.
