Pre-Natal And Post-Partum Therapy

Throughout pregnancy, a woman’s body experiences a number of physiologic and physical changes. Changes in hormones and weight affect your ligaments and joints, while the growing baby will change your posture and stretch your pre-natal pelvic and abdominal muscles, challenging them in the post-partum months.

That’s why more women are turning to physical therapy to help them cope with and minimize the common complaints during pregnancy and after delivery, including

• Backache
• Stiff joints
• Neurological problems
• Diastasis of the rectus muscle (separation of the abdominal muscles)
• Fatigue
• Shortness of breath
• Incontinence due to pelvic floor weakness
• Pelvic pain
• Decreased function

Both during your pregnancy and after, our therapists will perform a thorough evaluation and personalize your treatment program to meet your body’s changing needs. We will treat your pre-natal and post-partum conditions with a variety of hands-on techniques, modalities, and patient education. Most importantly, we will prepare your body for labor and delivery and help you recover quickly.
