If you're currently pregnant and symptom free, hooray! Pelvic floor physical therapy nearing the end of your pregnancy can still be beneficial. It will keep you strong and active in the remainder of your pregnancy, prepare the body and mind for childbirth and allow you to be proactive for fourth trimester healing.
Postpartum
Childbirth, whether by cesarian section or vaginal delivery, can impact our pelvic floor, abdominals and pelvic alignment. Physical therapy in the fourth trimester is targeted at healing, accomplished by strengthening the pelvic floor and core, releasing tightened, restricted tissue or navigating your body back to exercise safely to allow normal bladder, bowel and sexual health. Any of the following conditions can benefit from pelvic floor PT.
