Postpartum Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy: Healing After Birth

Bringing a baby into the world is a massive accomplishment — but your recovery deserves just as much attention. We specialize in pelvic floor rehabilitation for postpartum women so you can feel strong, supported, and in control again.

Is This “Just Normal” After Having a Baby?

Many new moms are told to “give it time” when they’re dealing with:

While common, these symptoms are not things you just have to live with — and they can all be addressed with postpartum pelvic floor physical therapy.

What Is Postpartum Pelvic Floor PT?

Our postpartum rehab program is tailored to each person’s birth experience and recovery needs — whether you had a vaginal delivery, C-section, tearing, or episiotomy. You’ll work one-on-one with a licensed pelvic floor physical therapist who will guide you through:

  • Pelvic floor and core retraining
  • Manual therapy to address scar tissue or muscle tightness
  • Safe return-to-exercise progression
  • Diastasis recti rehab and core strengthening
  • Bladder and bowel retraining strategies
  • Pain management (pelvic pain, SI joint pain, tailbone pain, pain with sex etc.)

You’ll finally understand what your pelvic floor is, how it works, and how to make it work for you — not against you.

And no — you don’t need to wait until your 6-week OB check to start! We’re happy to work alongside your provider to support your recovery safely and effectively.

You Deserve Real Recovery

Whether you had a baby six weeks ago or six years ago, it’s not too early — or too late — to rehab your pelvic floor. Let us help you heal fully and get back to feeling strong, confident, and connected to your body again.
