Pregnancy and Post-Partum Rehabilitation

Many women experience musculoskeletal dysfunctions and pain during pregnancy and after childbirth. Our pregnancy and post-partum care program can help ease pain in areas specifically affected, such as the upper, mid and lower back, ribs, groin and pelvis. During and after pregnancy, physical therapy can help correct diastasis recti (abdominal separation). We also treat the many women who have pain with intercourse or pelvic organ prolapse following the delivery of their child. Occupational therapists can address carpal tunnel syndrome associated with pregnancy swelling and can assist mothers who are having difficulty breastfeeding.
