We often hear the question from c-section mamas, “I didn’t deliver vaginally! How could pelvic floor therapy help me?” And the truth is…we wish ALL women who have had a cesarean birth would receive pelvic floor therapy because there are huge benefits to integrating it into your c-section recovery. In this blog, we take a dive into why pelvic floor therapy after a c-section is so important and what a session might look like!

Endometriosis, a condition where uterine-like tissue grows outside the uterus, affects millions of women, causing debilitating pain and impacting daily life.

Enhancing sexual health and satisfaction is a fundamental aspect of overall well-being. As pelvic floor therapists, sexual health issues are common complaints we hear from patients. We treat (and love playing our part in helping to solve!) the physical aspects of these issues, however, it’s important to recognize that integrating a more holistic mind-body approach can often be far more effective when addressing issues as layered and important as intimacy and sex.

For the duration of a pregnancy, a woman’s body is changing, expanding, and working tirelessly to accommodate a growing baby and preparing to give birth. We spend so much of the prenatal period checking on baby and trying to make sure we’re providing the healthiest start possible for this new life to come into the world but how much are we focusing on the well-being of Mom amidst the extraordinary physical changes that she is experiencing? Pelvic floor physical therapists put Mom at the center, providing care to maximize ease and comfort during a time of incredible transformation.

October is World Mental Health Month. Maternal mental health is a cornerstone of our pelvic health practice. The transition into motherhood brings about changes physically, mentally and emotionally. Every woman undergoing pregnancy, labor, and delivery experiences unique physical changes that require thoughtful recovery. This resonates deeply with us as healthcare providers specializing in pregnancy and postpartum care. When we address these physical changes during the prenatal and postpartum period, we can help to nurture and make a positive impact on a mother’s mental health.
