Seek Physical Therapy During Your Pregnancy

There are many changes that occur within the female body during pregnancy that can lead to pain and discomfort. Growing a new life requires an increase in hormones, a shift in the center of gravity of your body, weight gain, changes in postural alignment, and added physical stress. This can lead to back and pelvic girdle pain and diastase recti, as well as incontinence.

These changes can be addressed throughout the prenatal period to help with symptom relief and management. Through patient education and awareness, recovery in the postnatal period can be optimized. At LMS Physical Therapy, we offer the following services and treatments for:

• Back pain/neck pain/sacroiliac pain
• Labor and delivery preparation
• Education in safe exercise guidelines

Let Us Improve Your Well-Being Postpartum

During the postnatal period, women can struggle with diastase recti, weak pelvic floor muscles, altered pelvic girdle/rib cage alignment, pubic symphysis pain and postural dysfunction which can manifest into various symptoms, including muscle imbalance, dysfunction, and pain.

These issues often go ignored since these women are busy adapting to motherhood and many health care professionals tell you that it is normal. The changes that occur to the body in the peripartum period can last for decades if left untreated. Results can include in suboptimal movement strategies, poor breathing patterns, persistent weakness and pain, as well as an increased incidence of bladder and bowel incontinence later in life.

With proper screening and guidance, you can address your postural, pelvic floor, and abdominal muscle changes and have a successful return to a pain-free lifestyle, optimizing wellness and musculoskeletal function. Our services include the following and more:

• Cesarean management and scar massage
• Postural education and movement awareness
