For many new moms, finding time for postpartum recovery can feel impossible. Between feeding your baby, managing nap schedules, returning to work, and everything else that comes with motherhood, even making it to a physical therapy appointment can require a lot of planning.
And then there’s the question: “What am I supposed to do with my baby while I’m at my appointment?”
At our clinic, you don’t have to choose between caring for your baby and caring for yourself.
Your Baby Is Welcome at Physical Therapy
We understand that childcare isn’t always available—and sometimes your baby simply needs to be with you. That’s why babies are welcome at your physical therapy visits.
Whether your baby stays in their car seat, hangs out beside you, or needs a little extra attention during your appointment, we want you to feel comfortable bringing them along.
And when appropriate, we’re happy to hold your little one while you work on your exercises.
Because postpartum physical therapy should fit into your life—not make your life even more complicated.
Postpartum Recovery Is Important, Too
Pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period can place significant demands on your body. You may be dealing with symptoms such as:
- pelvic pain
- low back pain
- pelvic pressure
- urinary leakage
- painful intercourse
- abdominal weakness
- difficulty returning to exercise
These symptoms are common, but that doesn’t mean you have to simply live with them.
A pelvic floor physical therapist can evaluate your individual symptoms and create a personalized treatment plan to help you safely rebuild strength, improve mobility, and return to the activities you enjoy.
Postpartum physical therapy may include individualized exercises for the pelvic floor, core, hips, and other areas affected by pregnancy and childbirth. Your therapist can also help you understand how to modify movement and exercise as your body heals.
You Don’t Have to Wait Until You Have Childcare
One of the biggest barriers to postpartum care is simply getting to the appointment.
New moms often put their own health on hold because finding a babysitter feels like one more thing they have to figure out.
We want to make that easier.
If you’re looking for postpartum physical therapy, pelvic floor physical therapy, or women’s health physical therapy, know that you can bring your baby with you.
You deserve access to care—even during the busy, unpredictable season of caring for a newborn.
Caring for Mom Means Supporting the Whole Family
We know that when you’re a mom, your needs don’t exist separately from your baby’s needs.
- Sometimes your baby will need you during your appointment.
- Sometimes they’ll need a cuddle.
- Sometimes you may need an extra set of hands for a few minutes so you can focus on your exercises.
That’s okay.
Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where moms can receive personalized physical therapy care without feeling like they have to have everything perfectly arranged first.
Your recovery matters.
Your health matters.
And yes—your baby is welcome, too.
