Postpartum Physical Therapy
Attentive healing for your body after pregnancy + any mode of birth
For individuals who gave birth recently, or individuals who gave birth years ago, postpartum visits are an opportunity to offer intentional healing and loving attention to your body.
The aim of these appointments is to support you—where you are today, with an eye toward your goals. For some, this involves resolving specific discomforts and symptoms. For others, this means supporting optimal recovery and preventing unnecessary complications.
Visits bring together mindful, research-based care—including individualized education, movement, manual therapy, and ongoing assessment—to help you be able to do what is important to you and feel strong, grounded, and at ease in your body.
