Pre- and Post- Pregnancy Related Pain

One of the most underserved and underrated needs are those of pre- and post- partum patients. Pregnancy is strenuous on your entire body. Like any other traumatic event, after labor your body requires retraining musculature of the core, pelvic floor, and surrounding areas. Weakened body systems may lead to additional factors such as incontinence, low back/pelvic pain, diastasis recti, and other dysfunctions. If left untreated, these symptoms may persist for years or even decades after pregnancy. Research has repeatedly proven the effectiveness of physical therapy both before and after labor. If you are/were pregnant, come see us so we can help you prepare for and navigate your recovery.
