PREGNANCY PHYSICAL THERAPY

You are PREGNANT!! Congratulations!! What a joy and a blessing to be creating life at this very moment! This is a period where your body is undergoing many transitions in a short period of time. Your pelvis is widening to accommodate the development of your love bundle, and your body feels like it’s no longer your own. The Pelvic Place Physical Therapy is here for you. Gone are the days when back pain, sciatica, shooting pelvic pain, waddling, and difficulty sleeping are staple memories associated with this time of your life. Pregnancy does not have to be associated with pain and sacrifice. Within one session, we can show you how to get in and out of your bed pain-free. We can alleviate your back pain, groin pain, or pubic symphysis pain (also known as “lightning crotch”) and ensure that you are able to function with ease.

Your treatment sessions will include an assessment and correction of your S-I Joint, along with education on how to correct it independently. We will release tension, strain, and pressure from the lower abdomen, round ligaments, ribs, pubic area, and thighs while you are reclined in a private room suitable for you and your support system. Back pain, butt pain, hip pain, or shooting pain that radiates down the back of your leg(s)? No worries, we have a comfortable and safe belly-bed for you to stretch out on while we work through those muscles. Concerned about tearing? No worries, not only will your treatment include perineal mobilization in the final weeks of your pregnancy, but we will also teach you and your support system how to perform it accurately with one-on-one education and supervision to optimize the ease of your birthing process.

No need to stress. We can educate you and offer resources for everything from doula services, midwives, OB/GYNs, lactation consultants, and more while you focus on breathing and enjoying your weekly maternity massage.
