Postpartum Pelvic Floor PT
Your postpartum body deserves care, recovery, and strength. Pelvic floor therapy helps restore function, reduce pain, and support your body as you transition into motherhood—whether you gave birth weeks ago or years ago.
Beyond the Physical
Postpartum recovery is more than physical strength—it’s about helping you feel confident, comfortable, and supported in your new season of life. My goal is to equip you with tools that carry you far beyond the postpartum months.
My Treatment Approach
I treat the postpartum body holistically—looking at how your spine, hips, ribs, and core all interact with the pelvic floor. Your care begins externally, focusing on movement, strength, and alignment. Internal exams are only considered if necessary for progress, and always at your comfort level.
What to Expect in Postpartum PT
Your treatment will be individualized but may include:
-
Core and breathing retraining to restore pelvic floor and abdominal connection
-
Scar tissue mobilization for C-section recovery and perineal healing
-
Pelvic floor strengthening or relaxation depending on your needs
-
Guided return to exercise with safe progressions for lifting, running, or high-impact activity
-
Posture and movement assessment to improve daily comfort
-
Education on bowel and bladder health for long-term pelvic wellness
Why Postpartum PT Matters
Pregnancy and delivery—vaginal or C-section—place unique demands on your body. Postpartum PT helps address:
-
Bladder leakage (with sneezing, coughing, running, or exercise)
-
Core weakness or “mom pooch” (diastasis recti)
-
Prolapse symptoms such as heaviness or pressure
-
Pain with intimacy or pelvic floor tightness
-
Low back, hip, or SI joint pain linked to pelvic floor changes
-
C-section scar sensitivity, pulling, or mobility restrictions
When to Start
It is never “too late” to begin postpartum pelvic floor PT. Many women start around 6 weeks postpartum after being cleared by their provider, but therapy is also highly effective months or even years later. Whether you are newly postpartum or well into motherhood, you can benefit from reconnecting with your core and pelvic floor.
