Our Doctors of Physical Therapy will develop a customized exercise and treatment plan for you in a private setting.
What Is Postpartum Physical Therapy?
Postpartum Phase, also referred to as the fourth trimester, is the 3-month period after childbirth. During this postnatal phase physical changes from childbirth and hormonal fluctuations can cause muscular imbalance, weakness in core and pelvic floor muscles, altered postural awareness and excessive joint mobility.
The goal of Postpartum Physical Therapy is to restore these imbalances & strengthen your body.
As you are bonding and caring for your bundle of joy do not forget your own body is healing. So give it the care it deserves!

Can I Bring My Baby With Me?
Absolutely! We offer bouncers and rockers in each room for the comfort of your baby while you get treated. If possible, try to come without the baby for the first appointment since it involves more conversation and a thorough assessment before formulating the treatment plan. We also have a changing table in one of our spacious bathrooms.
