Postpartum Physical Therapy

Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy for your Fourth Trimester

Restore Strength & Balance, and Get the Support you Need for a Healthy Postpartum Recovery

After pregnancy, our pelvic floor PT’s are here to support and encourage you on your journey back to pelvic health and wellness. Our postpartum physical therapists can help address common concerns such as diastasis recti, urinary incontinence, painful sex, prolapse, constipation, scarring, and more. Working together, we will safely guide you as you return to exercise and all the other activities you enjoy. 

A Healthy Postpartum Recovery

PT can Help you Bounce Back

If you’ve recently had a baby, you know that pregnancy and childbirth change your body. You don’t feel the same as before, and your body probably doesn’t look the same. Even after the 6-8 week recovery period your doctor focuses on, many of us find things still aren’t back to normal. And while you may never look exactly the same as you did before becoming pregnant, postpartum physical therapy can help support your postpartum recovery so you can be happy with the new you.

Resolve your Postpartum Concerns

Perhaps you are experiencing urinary leakage when you cough, laugh, sneeze, or jump. Or you find yourself racing to the bathroom, nervous to leave your house because you’re not sure where the next available bathroom may be. You may be struggling with painful intercourse due to tearing or scaring or pelvic floor dysfunction. Or perhaps you are dealing with diastasis recti, pelvic organ prolapse, back and hip pain, constipation, and many other common postpartum concerns.

Our postpartum physical therapists can help resolve these postnatal complications, and safely guide you as you return to exercise and doing all the other activities you love postpartum.

  • “Not only can I sneeze without crossing my legs, I ran my first marathon postpartum without a single leak! I highly recommend working with Dr. Lauryn.”

    -MM

  • “I started seeing Lauryn for work on my c-section scar and a mild case of diastasis recti. We did a combination of dry needling, cupping, massage, and at-home exercises to deal with my issues. I now have an almost invisible c-section scar and strong lower ab muscles. I am so pleased with my results! She is currently helping me with a shoulder issue from picking up my toddler constantly and its been amazing what she can do! She gave me print-outs of at-home exercises and helped me find the right bands and weights to use. Highly recommend!”

    -EF

  • “Excellent postpartum care; practical advice that’s easily implemented. Dr. Abby is engaging, patient, and very helpful. Not only am I feeling better but also feeling more confident about my ability to recover holistically from future pregnancies.”

    -TR

  • “Lauryn helped me get through horrible back and hip pain post-pregnancy. She had me walking again within 2 weeks of the birth. Prior, I was confined to the couch and not able to lift my baby out of the bassinet. She had immediate solutions and activities to improve me strength and put things back in place.”

    -LF

  • “Dr. Lauryn is such a great listener, patient and always makes me feel comfortable no matter what my issue is. She's helped me postpartum, as well as during pregnancy and I could not recommend her more.”

    -AR

  • “Lauryn's work helped me tremendously when I was postpartum. Her office is clean and inviting. She has a calm presence and a deep knowledge for her work and explains everything so well. I wish I could gift all my pregnant or postpartum friends with a visit to see Lauryn!”
