Now What?
There are so many changes your body just experienced, and it can feel difficult to prioritize your own recovery when you have a brand new little one to take care of. I want to make your recovery as restful and available as possible. That means I come to you, and you don't need to stress about driving to appointments or coordinating childcare.
What Postpartum PT Might Involve
Diastasis Recti
Research shows that by the end of pregnancy, 100% of women experience diastasis recti, which is a separation of the "six-pack muscle"
Working with a PT postpartum is shown to assist in resolving the separation and improving deep core control
hip pain
Research has found that up to 1 in 10 women experience hip pain lasting 10+ years after pregnancy. Working with PT immediately following pregnancy can help to decrease the impact that hip pain can have on your life
tailbone pain
The birthing experience can cause impact forces on the tailbone that may result in lingering pain. Your PT can assist in providing pain relief techniques and addressing local injuries following birth.
