How Can PT HElp?
Pelvic PAin
With baby making a home for 9 months there are some natural changes in your pelvic floor. As these changes occur over time your pelvic floor is doing quite impressive things to accommodate a growing baby - but that can often put extra strain and stress on your bod. We can navigate changes, and pain as they arise.
Back Pain
Over 60% of women experience back pain during pregnancy. Many women tend to accept it as a normal part of pregnancy, but the truth is that it doesn't have to be. If you are currently dealing with neck or back pain, it might be worth considering the advantages of physical therapy, which can provide a safe and efficient path to recovery.
LABOR PREP
Preparing for childbirth can be an overwhelming experience, but taking the time to plan and prepare can make a world of difference. We start by creating a birth plan, educating you on various birthing options, and making preparations for postpartum life. Remember, your health and the health of your baby are the top priority.
