When you’re pregnant, postpartum, or navigating motherhood, your body and your baby’s development are deeply connected. Yet, most physical therapists treat only one or the other—either specializing in pregnancy and postpartum care or focusing solely on pediatrics.
At Foundation Physical Therapy, we do things differently. We specialize in both maternal pelvic health and infant motor development, allowing us to provide comprehensive care for moms and babies together. Here’s why that matters for you and your family:
1. A Holistic Approach to Postpartum Recovery
Your postpartum body doesn’t heal in isolation—it’s affected by how you move, lift, and care for your baby. If your little one has feeding difficulties, torticollis, or delays in motor development, it can impact your posture, core strength, and pelvic floor function. By treating both mom and baby, we ensure that your recovery isn’t hindered by the physical demands of caring for your child.
2. Better Outcomes for Babies
Birth can be tough on babies, too. Conditions like torticollis, flat spots (plagiocephaly), and developmental delays can all be addressed through early intervention. Because we understand both your postpartum body and your baby’s needs, we can guide you on the best ways to hold, carry, and position your baby to support their development—all while protecting your own body from strain.
3. Convenience and Continuity of Care
Instead of scheduling separate appointments with different specialists, you can receive care for both yourself and your baby in one place. We understand your history, your goals, and your challenges, making treatment more personalized and efficient. This saves you time and ensures that both you and your baby get the best possible care.
4. More Confident Motherhood
When your baby is struggling with movement, sleep, or feeding, it can be stressful and overwhelming. When you’re dealing with pelvic pain, core weakness, or birth recovery, it can be just as frustrating. Having a provider who understands both means you’ll receive education, strategies, and reassurance that empower you to navigate postpartum and parenting with confidence.
5. Proactive Care for Long-Term Health for Mom and Baby
Ignoring postpartum issues can lead to chronic pain, prolapse, or other long-term complications. Similarly, untreated motor delays in babies can contribute to difficulties with crawling, walking, and coordination later on. Seeing a physical therapist who specializes in both means you’re setting the foundation for lifelong strength and movement—for both you and your baby.
