Why Postpartum Physical Therapy?!
You just birthed a human being! It is standard practice to see a Physical Therapist 2-3x/week after a knee replacement. Why is this not the standard after giving birth?!
Your pelvic floor contains many muscles impacted during childbirth and your abdominal muscles are impacted after a cesarean birth just as the muscles in your leg are impacted after a knee replacement.
Your brain needs to learn to communicate efficiently with these muscles again to avoid symptoms like back pain, hip pain, sacroiliac pain, leakage, etc. We can help!
There is no need to wait until 6 weeks postpartum to seek care. Low level muscle activation exercises can be taught as early as 2 weeks postpartum to begin the recovery process!
Think all postpartum rehab is the same? Think again. Think you’ll never get back to lifting after having a baby? Think again.
This is what postpartum rehab can (and should!) look like! Check it out!
