Postpartum is forever.

Processing all of the changes that have occurred after giving birth takes time. In the postpartum period our culture famously moves the focus from mother to baby leaving you with one relatively quick postpartum visit with a care provider.

The American Academy of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) has worked to make changes and now recognizes the importance of the fourth trimester and seeing postpartum patients as early as 2-3 weeks post-birth. However, our insurance based medical system has not fully adapted. Physical Therapy is here to fill in that gap.

I provide in home, virtual, and in-clinic care to new mothers as early as you need in the comfort of your home without disturbing your important early bond with baby. In the first few weeks we work together on feeding postures, toileting mechanics and habits, standing posture and best ways to hold and lift baby, cesarean and perineum incision management and gentle reconnection to your core.

I can help you manage and improve :

• Cesarean incision management

• Perineum tearing management

• Optimal breast and bottle feeding postures

• Diastasis rehabilitation and splinting education

• Prolapse rehabilitation

• Bowel and Bladder incontinence and frequency

• Constipation 

• Pelvic Floor education and training

• Abdominal separation (diastasis recti)

• Pain with intimacy (Dyspareunia)

• Postural education

• Car seat/crib transfers, baby wearing and functional assessments with baby

• Orthopedic conditions

• Exercise program and return to run specific guidance

• Birth trauma healing
