Your body just did something extraordinary.
Postpartum PT is about building a body that functions well for the life you're living with a baby with all the lifting and carrying and feeding and not sleeping that comes with it. Many clients come in feeling okay and leave their evaluation with a completely different understanding of where they actually are in recovery. Not because something is wrong, but because pregnancy and birth place demands on the body that don't always show up as obvious symptoms.
Who is postpartum physical therapy for?
Postpartum PT is for women at any stage after birth, days out or years out. Care is adapted to where you are in recovery.
First 6 weeks after birth
You don't have to wait. Navigate early movement, baby care, daily activities, and symptom management as you transition into life with a newborn.
12 weeks and beyond
Symptoms and limitations that were never fully addressed don't always go away on their own. Whether you're months or years postpartum, it's not too late to get the care your body needed.
6-12 weeks post birth
Get a comprehensive baseline assessment. Know what your body is actually doing before returning to exercise or daily activity.
C-section recovery
Cesarean birth is major abdominal surgery. Postpartum PT after a c-section addresses scar tissue, abdominal reconnection, and core rehabilitation.
What Does Postpartum Physical Therapy Treat?
Postpartum PT addresses the physical and neurological factors that affect how your body moves, heals, and functions after birth.
Specific areas of focus include:
-
Pelvic floor dysfunction - including leakage, prolapse symptoms, and pelvic pressure
-
Core and abdominal rehabilitation - reconnecting and rebuilding strength after pregnancy and birth
-
Scar tissue and fascial restrictions - from cesarean incisions, perineal tearing, or episiotomy
-
Diastasis recti - assessing and addressing abdominal separation that affects core function
-
Pain with intercourse - a common and treatable postpartum symptom
-
Lower back and pelvic girdle pain - frequently persists postpartum when left unaddressed
-
Breath mechanics and pressure management - the foundation of pelvic floor function and recovery
-
Movement retraining - rebuilding strength and coordination for the demands of new parenthood
