Absolutely! Many pregnant women come to us not because of a problem, but to ensure they’re doing safe and effective exercises throughout their pregnancy. We work with women to prevent pregnancy or postpartum conditions, such as urinary leakage, fecal leakage, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pressure, pain during intercourse, diastasis recti, and general pain.
Consistent prenatal PT has a big impact. Our patients who regularly attend prenatal sessions recover faster and more smoothly than those who either didn’t attend or only came sporadically.
We also offer 1:1 birth prep sessions that focus on preparing you for labor and delivery. In these sessions, you’ll learn to control your pelvic floor muscles (both engaging and relaxing), practice pushing techniques, and assess various birthing positions to find what feels best for your body. We’ll also discuss early, middle, and active laboring positions. Your partner or birth support person is welcome to attend to better support you during delivery.
Research supports that consistent pelvic floor PT can help reduce labor times, decrease the risk of severe perineal tearing, lower the chance of instrument-assisted delivery, and improve postpartum recovery.
