Our dedicated team of experts employs evidence-based techniques to help you throughout your pregnancy journey and beyond.
Prenatal and postpartum periods refer to the time before and after childbirth. During these crucial phases, women’s bodies undergo significant changes that may lead to discomfort, pain, or even long-term complications. Pelvic health physical therapy alleviates these conditions and ensures a smooth, comfortable transition.
The most common conditions treated by physical therapy during the prenatal and postpartum phases include the following:
- Pelvic girdle pain
- Low back pain
- Diastasis recti
- Pelvic floor dysfunction
Research has shown that prenatal and postpartum physical therapy can result in significant benefits, such as reduced pain, improved mobility, and enhanced quality of life.
Pelvic floor disorders, including urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse, are particularly common during pregnancy and postpartum, affecting up to 30% of women. Physical therapy interventions, such as pelvic floor muscle training, have effectively addressed these issues, restoring normal function and boosting overall well-being.
Statistics reveal that over 75% of women experience some form of prenatal and postpartum musculoskeletal pain, emphasizing the need for specialized intervention. Our physical therapists are crucial in preparing women for surgical procedures should prevention measures prove insufficient. Our specialists provide expert guidance on exercise, posture, and body mechanics to ensure optimal recovery and prevent potential complications.
The limitations and issues associated with prenatal and postpartum conditions vary but may include pain, reduced mobility, fatigue, and decreased quality of life. Symptoms may manifest as pelvic pain, backaches, incontinence, or difficulty performing daily tasks. We recognize the unique challenges faced by women during this period and strive to deliver customized, compassionate care.

What Are Common Issues a Woman Faces During and After Pregnancy?
At Boost Physical Therapy and Sports Performance, we understand that pregnancy and childbirth are life-changing events with unique challenges. Women often experience a range of common issues during and after pregnancy, which can significantly impact their quality of life. Our physical therapy team is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for expecting and new mothers, ensuring they receive the support they need to overcome these challenges and enjoy this special time.
The most common conditions that women face during and after pregnancy include:
- Diastasis Recti: This condition occurs when the abdominal muscles separate during pregnancy, weakening the core. Diastasis recti can cause back pain, poor posture, and difficulty performing daily activities.
- Pelvic Floor Dysfunction: Pregnancy and childbirth can weaken the pelvic floor muscles, leading to urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse.
- Back Pain: Hormonal changes and the increased weight of the growing baby can contribute to lower back pain during pregnancy, which may persist even after giving birth.
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Fluid retention during pregnancy can cause swelling in the wrists, leading to pain, numbness, and tingling in the hands and fingers.
These conditions can limit a woman’s ability to perform daily tasks and affect her emotional well-being. Symptoms often include pain, discomfort, weakness, and fatigue. Physical therapy effectively addresses these issues, focusing on strengthening the affected muscles, improving posture, and providing pain relief.
