Pregnancy and Postpartum Challenges

Pregnancy Challenges

Are you...

  • wondering how to best prepare your pelvic floor for labor & birth?

  • struggling to keep up with daily physical activities at work or at home?

  • wanting to continue exercising, but need some guidance?

  • Interested in learning how to do Kegels properly?

  • experiencing pain or discomfort in your spine, pelvis, or hips?

  • dealing with swelling or numbness in the hands or feet?

I began physical therapy with Women’s Advantage PT after feeling a loss of control and high level pain while in the second trimester of pregnancy.

The knowledge I gained about my body’s changes due to pregnancy inspired me to implement the exercises and gain relief in a very short amount of time. I am very grateful to the staff at Women’s Advantage for their excellent professional and personal style, along with the know-how to put me in charge of my body (and baby) again! Thank you!

Postpartum Challenges

Are you...

  • leaking urine, gas, or stool when you cough, sneeze, or laugh?

  • experiencing any pain in the perineal or abdominal area?

  • struggling with abdominal separation (diastasis recti) or core weakness?

  • noticing changes in your bladder or bowel frequency or urgency?

  • feeling nervous about having sex post-baby?

  • avoiding penetrative intercourse because of pain?

  • struggling with recurrent clogged milk ducts or mastitis?

  • needing guidance for returning to your pre-pregnancy workouts?

There are a lot of things people don’t tell you about childbirth and one of them is postpartum leakage issues!

I was a big runner before having my baby and was disappointed to only be able to run a mile or two after the birth of my son before I would experience leakage problems. The visits and the exercises made all the difference! I am happy to report I recently ran a ½ marathon without any urinary problems!
