Pregnancy & Postpartum Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

Support for comfort, strength, and confidence through pregnancy and the postpartum transition.

Service Overview

Pregnancy and birth place significant demands on the pelvic floor, core, and hips. Hormonal changes, posture shifts, and increased pressure can contribute to discomfort, leakage, and changes in movement.

Postpartum recovery is different for everyone. Physical therapy can support a gradual return to daily activity and exercise, address scar mobility when appropriate, and help you understand how your core and pelvic floor are working. Care is adapted to your delivery, recovery, and goals.
