Specialized Services for Perinatal health and Active Women

Expert pelvic floor training during pregnancy is shown to reduce active labor time, improve pelvic floor coordination for pushing and reduce the likelihood of perineal tearing, and improve postpartum outcomes.

These sessions are ideal for the pregnant client (or preparing for pregnancy) who wants to stay active, reduce injuries with exercise, and prepare her body for labor. Ideal also for clients experiencing ongoing issues such as urine leakage, prolapse, spinal or pelvic pain during pregnancy to improve postpartum recovery.

Postnatal pelvic wellness appointments typically include abdominal (diastasis) and pelvic muscle function check, guidance for return to exercise/activity postpartum, and a customized postpartum exercise plan, as well as consultation and treatment for any symptoms that may have developed during pregnancy or post birth.

Early postpartum rehab sets a foundation for better healing and long term recovery. Infants are invited to join mamas at all treatment sessions! 

Women's health is much more than just the pelvic floor!

We work with you to find the source of issues causing pain and provide specific corrective exercises and expert manual therapy for the next long term results

We take pride in helping active women recover without having to stop the activities they love and GREATLY enjoy working with women who were previously active before pregnancies on removing barriers to exercise. Whether that be running, crossfit or group HIIT workouts we can help you sustain health through fitness.

We start by discussing your health history, personal preferences and individual goals to map out the most effective treatment plan for you, whether to to reduce or eliminate symptoms long-term (and get you back to feeling in control of your body) or for preventative wellness to help you become more empowered and aware of your body. 

Typically includes a comprehensive hands on exam and testing various body movements to get to the source of any symptoms. Treatment is then provided with hands-on techniques, corrective exercises, and relevant activities for you to do at home to start reducing symptoms and working towards achieving your individual goals that same day.

Treatment plans and duration of treatment vary and are based on your assessment. *If pregnant or within 2 years postpartum please select one of the above*

Primarily have abdominal concerns? Nothing to fear! You can book a postpartum wellness check and in your health paperwork indicate your preference to have an abdominal check. 

Want to start or increase exercise but have concerns about making safe choices? As a fitness-forward practice, we love providing custom exercise programs to help women feel their very best and get back in touch with their bodies without worry of doing something wrong. Virtual visits are ideal for those who are symptom free but we also provide virtual consultation to those with symptoms who can't make it in to the clinic with good results

Early treatment of clogged ducts is shown to reduce development of mastitis and improve comfort. Clogged duct treatment typically involves therapeutic ultrasound, lymphatic massage and kinesiotaping to encourage duct emptying and eliminate pain. Consultation with a lactation consultant is also highly encouraged.
