Prenatal And Postpartum Care

During pregnancy a woman’s body undergoes many changes to create a new life. Every system is adapting to support the developing baby. It is common, but not normal to develop pain during pregnancy. Pelvic floor physical therapy can support a woman’s changing body, decrease pain, prepare for labor and delivery, and postpartum healing. 

Giving birth is an extremely strenuous event for a woman’s body needs time to recover from trauma. While many women feel recovered by 6-12 weeks, it may take longer than this to feel like yourself again. Many women think the pain, pressure, or discomfort they feel during pregnancy or after their baby arrives is normal and eventually goes away. That is not always true. For those who are symptomatic, pelvic floor physical therapy can assist in your recovery. For those who are asymptomatic, having a pelvic floor evaluation may help you to avoid future problems.

Visceral Manipulation

Visceral manipulation is a gentle manual therapy that helps to locate and resolve abnormal tensions of connective tissue between organs and surrounding structures. Every organ needs to move freely in order to function properly. Trauma, inflammation, diet, surgery, emotional stress, poor posture, environmental toxins, repetitive movements result in decreased tissue mobility leading to pain and dysfunction. Bladder pain, urgency, and frequency could be an example of visceral restriction. Visceral manipulation is very effective for treating low back pain, pelvic pain, gastrointestinal issues, and urogenital dysfunctions.

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on manual therapy that releases tension in the soft tissue that surrounds the central nervous system. Craniosacral Therapy aims to restore natural motion of tissues throughout the body to improve physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Craniosacral Therapy is used for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction. It can be very beneficial during pregnancy, labor, and delivery.

Lymph Drainage Therapy

Lymph Drainage Therapy

This treatment modality activates and cleanses your body’s fluid system while stimulating the immune system. The body can then more effectively filter out toxins and assist itself in healing. The proper functioning of lymphatic system is important for the body’s ability to protect itself against toxins and pathogens, which can cause many physical ailments.


Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release focuses on releasing fascial restrictions within the body utilizing gentle stretches of the connective tissue, or fascia, to release abnormal tissue tensions. Myofascial Release is effective at restoring motion and provides acute and chronic pain relief.


Neural Manipulation

Nerve mobilization is a gentle but precise manual technique that identifies and releases local nerve restrictions. When nerve is restricted, it loses its ability to slide and glide. Compression can cause change in pressure within the nerve and may cause pain, weakness, numbness, tingling, burning.
