"The exercises have helped SO MUCH... This is the best I've felt in all 3 pregnancies and I'm definitely the most active in this pregnancy too. You are a MIRACLE WORKER... I'm honestly sad I didn't seek PT in my other pregnancies because apparently I didn't have to suffer all that time."

Pelvic Floor PT FAQ
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we get about pelvic floor physical therapy.
How soon postpartum should I start pelvic floor therapy?
We recommend having your first visit within the first 2-3 weeks postpartum so we can take advantage of the massive amount of healing your body is doing. We are happy to see you sooner as well, but we know that's not feasible for everyone.
Can I do pelvic floor PT during pregnancy?
Absolutely, and we highly encourage it! Even if you aren't having pain or other problems, pelvic floor therapy can help prevent the development of pain conditions, prep you for birth, and help baby find the best possible position for delivery.
What if I'm on my period during my appointment?
It's honestly not a big deal for your therapist. We take standard precautions for all patients, so encountering blood doesn't phase us. And if it really weirds you out, we can keep it all external.
