How Physical Therapy Can Support You During Pregnancy and Postpartum Recovery
Pregnancy is one of life’s most exciting experiences, but it can be taxing on your body! During pregnancy, the body goes through many changes, including changes in posture, how you hold and move your body, and changes in the pelvic muscles and ligaments as they prepare for delivery. Changes like these can result in back pain and pelvic floor issues.
If you are pregnant or have recently given birth and are experiencing pelvic pain, incontinence, or any other physical change in your body, our physical therapists at Sterling Physical Therapy & Wellness can assist you!
Many pregnant women experience lower back pain or pelvic pain, and a large percentage of them continue to have pain a year or more after giving birth.
Muscle weakness can cause urinary incontinence and make it difficult to activate core muscles. Despite the fact that these are some of the more unpleasant aspects of pregnancy, prenatal and postnatal treatments can help your body prepare for the journey ahead.
We use massage therapy and pelvic floor therapy techniques at Sterling Physical Therapy & Wellness to make your pregnancy and delivery as comfortable as possible.
Our team will address your specific needs in a comprehensive manner. We’ll meet you where you are and provide you with the support and guidance you need to have the best birthing experience possible!
