Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy for Pregnancy & Postpartum

Your body goes through significant changes during pregnancy and after birth. Pelvic floor physical therapy supports strength, comfort, and recovery—helping you feel confident in your body through every stage.

Whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating postpartum healing, or returning to exercise, pelvic floor PT provides individualized support tailored to your goals.

Is this you?

Pregnancy and postpartum concerns can look different for everyone. You might:

  • Feel pelvic pressure, heaviness, or discomfort

  • Experience leaking, core weakness, or pain

  • Have concerns about labor, pushing, or birth recovery

  • Notice symptoms after vaginal or C-section delivery

  • Feel unsure how to return to exercise safely

If any of this sounds familiar, pelvic floor physical therapy may help.

How pelvic floor physical therapy supports pregnancy

During pregnancy, pelvic floor PT can help you:

  • Build strength and coordination to support your growing body

  • Learn breathing and pressure strategies for daily movement

  • Address pain in the hips, pelvis, or low back

  • Prepare the pelvic floor for labor and delivery

  • Feel confident about movement, exercise, and birth preparation

Care is always tailored to your stage of pregnancy and comfort level.

How pelvic floor physical therapy supports postpartum

After birth, pelvic floor PT focuses on:

  • Restoring core and pelvic floor coordination

  • Supporting healing after vaginal or C-section delivery

  • Addressing leakage, pain, or pelvic pressure

  • Guiding a safe return to exercise and impact

  • Rebuilding strength and confidence over time

Recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your plan is individualized based on how your body is healing.
