Pre & postpartum


A Clinically Backed Approach to Perinatal Pelvic Health

Pregnancy and childbirth place significant strain on the pelvic floor, abdominal wall, spine, and connective tissues. These changes—whether from a vaginal delivery, C-section, or the demands of pregnancy itself—can lead to pain, dysfunction, or long-term pelvic health concerns.

Pelvic health physical therapy is increasingly recognized by OB/GYNs, midwives, and national clinical guidelines as a first-line treatment and preventative strategy to support birth preparation and postpartum recovery.

Pregnancy and delivery can lead to a wide range of physical changes, many of which can cause discomfort or pain.

During pregnancy


Common Pre-Partum Symptoms

Pregnancy-related hormonal shifts, joint changes, and core strain can lead to pelvic and musculoskeletal symptoms.

Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP): Pain felt across the hips, lower back, and pubic bone due to joint instability and hormonal changes. May worsen with walking, rolling in bed, or standing on one leg.

Pubic Symphysis Dysfunction: Sharp or aching pain in the center of the pelvis (pubic bone) caused by increased joint mobility and misalignment.

Round Ligament Pain: Sudden, sharp pulling or aching sensations in the lower belly or groin as the uterus expands.

Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Pain: Pain in the lower back or buttocks due to strain on the joints connecting the spine and pelvis.

Urinary incontinence or frequent urgency

Vaginal pressure or heaviness

Difficulty walking, sleeping, or exercising

Core instability or rib discomfort

After pregnancy


Common Postpartum Symptoms

From perineal pain to core weakness, many postpartum symptoms can impact daily life and are treatable

Perineal Pain: Discomfort from tearing, episiotomy, or prolonged pressure during vaginal birth. May include scar sensitivity or tightness.

Cesarean Section Scar Pain: Tightness, numbness, or adhesions around the scar affecting abdominal mobility and core activation.

Tailbone (Coccyx) Pain: Pain while sitting or transitioning from sitting to standing, common after difficult deliveries.

Hip and Groin Pain: Lingering instability or soft tissue tension that affects gait, lifting, or positional comfort.

Pain with Intercourse: Often due to pelvic floor tension, scar tissue, or hormonal changes during breastfeeding or early postpartum.

Diastasis recti (abdominal separation)

Pelvic organ prolapse or vaginal pressure

Persistent incontinence or leakage

Core weakness or difficulty returning to exercise

Our Approach


Why Treatment Matters

The postpartum period is often under-supported, yet the effects of delivery can last months or years without intervention. Many patients are told that symptoms such as leaking, bulging, or pain are “normal” after childbirth—when in reality they are treatable and not inevitable.

Whether you’re preparing for birth or recovering afterward, pelvic health physical therapy can:

Reduce risk of injury or complications

Minimize pain and improve mobility

Support safe return to exercise

Improve bladder, bowel, and sexual function

Restore confidence and physical strength

Our Approach to Treatment

Every session at Pelvic Health Solutions is a private, 60-minute appointment with a licensed pelvic health physical therapist. Your care is designed specifically for your body, your delivery history, and your goals.

Your customized treatment may include:

Pelvic floor and abdominal wall assessment

Diastasis recti rehabilitation and core retraining

Manual therapy for scar tissue and joint mobility

Strategies for breathwork, posture, and movement

Return-to-exercise guidance

Pelvic floor coordination and strengthening

Education on ergonomics, lifting, and daily activity modification

Whether you’re weeks or years postpartum, we provide individualized care tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’re here to make the process feel clear and comfortable. Explore answers to some of the questions we hear most often, or reach out to our team if there’s something you’d like to discuss.

Why are we out of network?

Many patients come to us after feeling rushed, overlooked, or given a one-size-fits-all plan elsewhere. Exceptional pelvic health care requires time, expertise, and individualized attention—conditions that traditional insurance models simply don’t allow.

Our out-of-network structure is intentional. It allows us to deliver the level of care you deserve.

Patients often find that investing in specialized, expert-led care leads to faster, more meaningful improvement—and ultimately reduces the time, cost, and frustration spent on ineffective or fragmented treatments.

At Pelvic Health Solutions, you receive care designed around you: private, precise, and rooted in clinical excellence.

What is pelvic health physical therapy?

Pelvic health physical therapy is a specialized area of physical therapy that focuses on assessing and treating conditions related to the pelvic floor muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues. The pelvic floor plays a crucial role in supporting the pelvic organs, controlling bladder and bowel function, and contributing to sexual health.

How is pelvic health physical therapy different from orthopedic physical therapy?

Pelvic health physical therapy focuses on the muscles, tissues, and organs specifically in the pelvic area, which include the bladder and bowel. It helps with problems like pelvic pain, urinary or bowel issues, and discomfort during sex

.Orthopedic physical therapy, on the other hand, deals with muscles and joints in other parts of the body, like the arms, legs, and back, to help with pain, stiffness, and injuries in those areas.

Who could benefit from pelvic health physical therapy?

Pelvic floor physical therapy applies to individuals with a range of symptoms. Some of the most common ones we see are:

Pelvic Pain: Chronic pelvic pain, pain during intercourse (dyspareunia), tailbone pain, or pain in the pelvic region with movement, sitting, or pressure.

Urinary Symptoms: Urinary incontinence (leakage of urine), urinary urgency or frequency, difficulty emptying the bladder, or nocturia (excessive nighttime urination).

Bowel Symptoms: Fecal incontinence (involuntary leakage of stool or gas), constipation, rectal pain/spasms, or difficulty with bowel movements.

Pregnancy and Postpartum: Pelvic health physical therapy can help prepare the pelvic floor for childbirth and address postpartum issues such as pelvic organ prolapse, perineal pain, or diastasis recti.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Descending or bulging of pelvic organs (such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum) into the vaginal canal.

Male Pelvic Conditions: Chronic pelvic pain in men, chronic prostatitis, and post-prostatectomy

What does the initial examination look like?

If you’re considering scheduling your first visit, here’s what you can expect during the initial evaluation:

A comprehensive and respectful conversation
We begin by listening. All appointments are one-on-one with a dedicated pelvic floor physical therapist, in a private treatment room, for a full hour.In your first session, your therapist will conduct a detailed medical and lifestyle history to better understand your symptoms, goals, and day-to-day function. Topics may include bladder, bowel, and sexual health—always discussed with care, professionalism, and respect for your comfort.

Clinical education tailored to you
You’ll receive clear, expert guidance on how the pelvic floor works, what may be contributing to your symptoms, and how physical therapy can help. Research shows that patients who understand their conditions have better outcomes. We prioritize education, and not just exercises, in your care so that you understand the why and how of your symptoms. 

A thorough assessment
We assess posture, movement patterns, core stability, hip strength, breathing, and pelvic alignment. With your consent, we may offer an external and internal pelvic floor exam to assess strength, tone, and coordination. This is always optional and based on your comfort.

A personalized treatment plan
Before the session ends, your therapist will walk you through their findings and recommend a tailored and individualized plan for therapy — outlining what care may look like in the weeks ahead.

Our care model is centered around one-on-one treatment, clinical excellence, and compassionate support. We’re referred by over 100 doctors and have helped more than 5000 patients restore function, reduce symptoms, and feel confident in their bodies again.

Don’t struggle with your symptoms alone. Reach out to speak with one of our pelvic floor physical therapists.

How long will it take me to get better?

Just like other therapies, it takes time and consistency to notice improvement. Healing time varies for each person. Some people might start feeling better after a few sessions, while others might need more time. It depends on how severe your symptoms are and how well you stick to your treatment plan.

Typically, we see our patients 1-2 times per week in order to make the most optimal recovery. Your therapist will work with you to create a plan that fits your needs and that helps you feel better as soon as possible!
