Learning about and caring for your new baby leaves little time for you to focus on the nine-month marathon your own body experienced. But prioritizing pelvic physical therapy for new moms will pay dividends in resuming pre-pregnancy energy levels and physical abilities.
If you still have doubts about pelvic physical therapy for new moms, our team at Core 3 have created a guide for you to learn more about the benefits of PT for you.
Common Issues New Moms Face
A few issues common for new mothers are pain in your back or pelvis, urinary leaking or weakness, and pain with sexual activity. These concerns may have presented during your pregnancy as well.
Pregnancy strains more than your abdominal and pelvic areas. It can affect your posture and also affect your bowel habits. If you have had an episiotomy or c-section, you have another set of muscles that are affected. The physical therapists at Core 3 are experienced in addressing all these symptoms and can work with you to bring your body back in balance.
Can You Exercise After Pregnancy?
Each birth is different, and moms of multiple children will agree that this is true. The six-week postpartum checkup is the usual go-ahead to resume normal activity. However, doing pelvic physical therapy for new moms works any time.
Our licensed experts will work with you to develop a plan to work with your symptoms and issues. They will listen to your symptoms and create a physical therapy plan specific to your journey as a new mother.
Why Should I Call a Physical Therapist?
Our pelvic floor physical therapists at Core 3 have done extensive study to prepare for all postpartum issues. Whether your concerns are leakage from coughing or laughing to pelvic organ prolapse and its accompanying issues, our friendly and caring team will take time learning about your needs. Your initial intake with our staff will consist of concentrated time going over all aspects of your body’s journey from pre-pregnancy to labor, delivery, and beyond.
