Pregnancy Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
One-on-one, DPT-led care to ease pregnancy pain, prepare your pelvic floor for birth, and set up a smoother postpartum recovery.
Your Trimester Roadmap
First Trimester (weeks 1-12):
Second Trimester (weeks 13-27):
Third Trimester (weeks 28-birth):
Early Postpartum Plan:
Baseline screen, breathing assessment + core connection, early strategies for nausea/constipation and energy-safe movement. No internal pelvic floor exam performed until second trimester.
Hip/SIJ/back pain relief, posture + rib mobility, pelvic floor coordination skills (not just Kegels), education on diastasis recti, core strengthening and coordination.
Birth prep: perineal massage, pushing positions, pelvic floor relaxation, strategies to minimize tearing, hospital/birth-plan ergonomics.
What weeks 0–12 look like, red-flag checks, gentle core/pelvic floor reactivation, and a criteria-based return to impact.
Birth Preparation, Done by Pelvic Floor Specialists
Perineal protection: step-by-step perineal massage education and tissue tolerance training.
Pushing positions & breath: upright vs. side-lying, bar vs. bed, and breath strategies to coordinate the pelvic floor.
Pelvic floor relaxation skills: when “more Kegels” isn’t the answer.
Partner coaching: what to do, when to cue, and how to support you on game day.
Faster postpartum ramp: set expectations and milestones before baby arrives.
