Prenatal Physical Therapy + Wellness

Wellness visits for pregnancy are about proactively laying the foundation for a strong and comfortable pregnancy, with the simultaneous benefit of preparing for birth and postpartum healing. These visits are appropriate both prior to conception and during pregnancy.

Prenatal physical therapy addresses any discomfort(s), limitation(s), or symptom(s) you’re experiencing. Our goal in therapy is to holistically address the root of the dysfunction, in order to resolve it for the long-run, and get you back to moving, living, and doing what you love with ease.
