Physical therapy focuses on musculoskeletal concerns including pain, posture, and weakness and assists a patient to return to optimal functional ability. If you recently had a knee surgery, you would be referred to a physical therapist. What about chronic neck or back pain? You would definitely benefit from physical therapy. What about growing an entire human inside your body? What about delivering that little human from your body?
Think of all the changes your body goes through during pregnancy! Your uterus grows 500x larger throughout pregnancy. Your center of gravity shifts forward drastically as your belly starts growing placing high demand on your back and SI joint . Your ligaments are like Gumby. Women go to SO many doctor appointments while pregnant but those are primarily focused on the health and safety of the baby. After baby… one appointment for the mother at 6 weeks. We need to take care of the baby mama and help heal the body from labor & delivery and the past 10 months of changes. You deserve to have a strong body again that allows you to do whatever you want! You should not have to accept leakage, pelvic or back pain, or diastasis recti as your new normal.
You can visit me at Tri Physical Therapy, a physical therapy clinic that specializes in rehabilitative Pilates! I work with clients one on one for an hour. Arizona is a direct access state meaning that an MD prescription is NOT required for physical therapy services (with exception of certain insurances). During the initial evaluation, we will discuss your main concerns and goals and come up with a plan that is individualized to you. We will discuss your history, I will perform a full body assessment including posture/breathing/strength, and will provide you with an exercise program to start working on at home.
The frequency of follow up visits really depends on your individual situation and needs. I typically recommend seeing a client 2-3 times during pregnancy unless pain or other dysfunction is a concern and 3-4 times during the postpartum phase. This can vary quite a bit depending on a client's goals! Pregnancy and postpartum is NOT one size fits all...
