Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy for Pregnancy, Postpartum & Motherhood

Support your body through every phase — with confidence, clarity, and care

Care happens in your home — where healing already begins.

My services are designed to support the physical demands of motherhood — from pregnancy through postpartum — with care that adapts to your changing body and your real life. This is not rushed care. This is not symptom-chasing. This is whole-body, individualized support.

Pregnancy

Pregnancy places new demands on your body every week. Your posture changes, your breathing adapts, and your core and pelvic floor are under increasing load. Care during pregnancy focuses on supporting these changes rather than simply reacting to pain once it becomes overwhelming.

Sessions may include:

• Hands-on bodywork to reduce tension in the pelvis, hips, back, and abdomen

• Assessment of how your breath, core, and pelvic floor are working together

• Guidance for safe and comfortable movement, exercise, and daily tasks

• Education about what sensations are normal and which deserve attention

This stage of care helps you:

• Feel more comfortable as your body changes

• Reduce pelvic girdle and low back pain

• Improve support for your growing belly

• Build confidence in how your body is functioning

• Enter birth feeling stronger and more prepared

Birth Preparation & Early Recovery

Birth is physical work. Preparation focuses on helping your body coordinate relaxation and effort so pushing is efficient and less stressful to the pelvic floor. After birth, care shifts toward gentle healing and helping your nervous system feel safe again.

Birth prep may include:

• Breathing strategies that support pelvic floor relaxation

• Pushing mechanics that balance force with control

• Positioning options that reduce unnecessary strain

• Education about what happens to your tissues during birth

Early recovery care may include:

• Gentle hands-on bodywork to support healing tissues

• Support for scar, perineal, or abdominal healing

• Techniques to reduce guarding and tension after a difficult or fast birth

• Simple movements to encourage circulation and recovery

This stage of care helps you:

• Understand how your body works during pushing

• Reduce strain on the pelvic floor

• Support healing after vaginal or cesarean birth

• Feel safer and more connected to your body after birth

• Begin recovery with guidance instead of waiting and guessing

Postpartum & Motherhood

Postpartum recovery is more than waiting six weeks. Your body is learning how to support feeding, lifting, carrying, and daily movement again. Care focuses on rebuilding coordination, strength, and confidence in a gradual and intentional way.

Sessions may include:

• Assessment of pelvic floor, abdominal, and breathing function

• Bodywork for scar tissue, pelvic bone or muscle tension, abdominal wall balancing

• Progressive movement and strengthening based on your healing

• Education for returning to exercise, work, and daily activity

• Guidance for symptoms like leaking, pain, or pressure

This stage of care helps you:

• Heal more fully after birth

• Restore connection between your core and pelvic floor

• Rebuild strength safely

• Reduce pelvic floor symptoms

• Feel more confident in your body

• Return to movement and exercise with clarity instead of fear

The Benefits of In-Home Care

Your care, where life actually happens.

Pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood are full of demands — physically, emotionally, and logistically. Leaving the house for appointments can feel impossible, stressful, or exhausting. In-home care brings expert pelvic health support directly to you, making it easier to prioritize your recovery and preparation without adding more to your plate.

Why in-home care matters:

• Eliminate barriers: No childcare, commuting, or juggling multiple appointments — care comes to you.

• Learn in context: Practice movement, lifting, feeding, and daily routines in the environment where you actually live.

• Personalized support: Every session is tailored to your body, your home setup, and your daily life.

• Comfort and privacy: Heal and learn in a safe, familiar space, allowing for more openness and relaxation.

• Better outcomes: When care fits your real life, you’re more consistent, more confident, and more supported — leading to faster, safer recovery.

In-home pelvic health care doesn’t just meet you where you are — it meets your body where it lives, moves, and heals.

Virtual Visits

Support and guidance, even when in-home care isn’t possible.

Virtual visits are available for those who live outside my in-home service area or need a flexible option between in-person sessions. These visits are designed to supplement hands-on care or provide guided support when travel isn’t feasible.

During a virtual visit, we focus on:

• Detailed discussion of your symptoms, concerns, and goals

• Guided movement and breathing strategies tailored to your stage of pregnancy or postpartum

• Education on healing, activity modification, and what’s normal vs. what needs attention

• Functional strategies for daily tasks like lifting, feeding, and returning to exercise

While virtual care cannot replace hands-on treatment, it offers:

• Professional guidance without long travel or childcare needs

• A clear plan instead of waiting and guessing

• Continued support between in-person sessions

• Access to specialized pelvic health care even if you live outside my travel range

Virtual visits are ideal if you:

• Live beyond my in-home service area

• Want expert guidance but don’t need hands-on care right now

• Are looking for early postpartum education and reassurance

• Need help modifying activity or exercise safely

Whether in your home or through a screen, my goal is the same: to help you feel supported, informed, and confident in your body as it changes and heals.
