Why prenatal physical therapy?

Pregnancy is a time of incredible growth and adaptation. Your body goes through significant changes to accommodate your developing baby. Prenatal physical therapy can help you navigate these changes by:

  • Managing Pregnancy-Related Pain: Back pain, sciatica, round ligament pain – these are just some common discomforts. Physical therapy can provide targeted stretches, exercises, and manual therapy techniques to alleviate pain and improve mobility.

  • Preparing Your Body for Delivery: Learning proper breathing and lengthening of your  pelvic floor muscles can lead to a smoother and more comfortable childbirth experience.

  • Promoting Optimal Posture: Physical therapists can assess and address postural changes that occur during pregnancy, minimizing aches and pains.

  • Educating You on Body Mechanics: Learn proper movement patterns to reduce stress on your joints and muscles throughout pregnancy.

Why Postpartum Physical Therapy?

After childbirth, your body is recovering from a major event. Postpartum physical therapy can help you:

  • Recover from Delivery: Whether you had a vaginal birth or a cesarean section, physical therapy can help strengthen your core and pelvic floor muscles, promoting healing and reducing pain.

  • Address Diastasis Recti: This separation of abdominal muscles is a common postpartum issue. Physical therapy can help close the gap and restore core strength.

  • Manage Urinary Incontinence or Leakage: Physical therapy exercises can strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, improving bladder control.

  • Reduce Postpartum Pain: From back pain to pelvic pain, physical therapy can provide targeted relief and promote healing.

  • Strengthening for Baby Care: Physical therapy can teach you the proper lifting techniques and core engagmeent to prevent injuries while caringfor your baby

  • Return to Exercise Safely: Learn safe and effective exercises to gradually regain strength and fitness, while considering your postpartum body.
