Pelvic Floor Therapy for Postpartum Care
Postpartum recovery is about much more than just “getting cleared” at six weeks.
It takes the body 12-18 months to return to baseline after having a baby.
Symptoms like pelvic pain, leaking, prolapse, diastasis recti, low back pain, and discomfort with intimacy are incredibly common after birth, but it is not something you have to live with.
No matter where you are in your postpartum recovery, individualized pelvic floor physical therapy can help you heal, regain function, and return to the activities and routines that matter most to you.
Especially now that you are responsible for a whole lot more than you were before!
I frequently work with women experiencing:
Leaking or urinary incontinence
Pelvic pressure or prolapse symptoms
Diastasis recti
Pain with intercourse
C-section scar discomfort or sensitivity
Low back, hip, or pelvic pain
Core weakness or instability
Return to exercise
Pain with movement or daily activities
Pregnancy and birth change every body, including how your core functions.
After having a baby, your abdominal and pelvic muscles may not work exactly the way they used to. Strength, coordination, timing, and muscle recruitment often change postpartum (even if everything looks “fine” from the outside).
This is one reason why many women notice things like:
• Feeling weaker than expected
• Trouble returning to exercise
• Low back, hip, or pelvic discomfort
• Heaviness or pressure
• A feeling of being “disconnected” from their core
Pelvic floor physical therapy can help you restore muscle strength and coordination so that you can start feeling like yourself again.
