Pregnancy & Postpartum
From pregnancy through postpartum recovery, PelviCore Physical Therapy provides expert, individualized care to help you move comfortably, stay active, and feel confident in your body at every stage of motherhood.
At PelviCore PT, we believe every woman deserves a supported, empowered journey through pregnancy and beyond. Whether you’re preparing your body for delivery or recovering from birth — weeks, months, or even years later — our specialized pelvic floor therapy helps you heal, rebuild strength, and restore confidence in how your body feels and functions.
​
Our evidence-based approach is designed to:
-
Prepare your pelvic floor and body for a smoother labor and delivery.
-
Reduce trauma, minimize tearing or C-section risk, and shorten pushing time.
-
Promote full-body recovery postpartum — including core and pelvic floor strength, bladder control, and pain relief.
-
Support your safe return to exercise, work, and intimacy.

Prenatal Care
Preparing for Labor & Delivery
Pregnancy transforms your body — and with the right guidance, you can stay active, comfortable, and confident as you prepare for delivery. Our prenatal program builds mobility, strength, and body awareness while teaching you how to relax and lengthen your pelvic floor for birth.
Benefits of Birth Preparation with Pelvic Floor PT:
-
Reduces back, hip, and pelvic pain throughout pregnancy
-
Improves coordination and flexibility of the pelvic floor for a smoother delivery
-
Decreases risk of tearing or need for C-section
-
Shortens pushing time and supports easier recovery afterward
-
Prevents issues like urinary leakage and abdominal separation (diastasis recti)
-
Builds confidence and understanding of your body’s natural birthing mechanics
-
Excellent option for women preparing for a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) — promoting safe mobility, pelvic relaxation, and optimal birth positioning
Through hands-on care and personalized exercises, you’ll be empowered to move comfortably, prepare your body for labor, and recover more effectively after birth.
Postpartum Recovery
Healing Beyond After Giving Birth
Whether you are weeks or years postpartum, our postpartum pelvic floor therapy helps you recover from childbirth, stop leaking, rebuild your core, and return to the activities you love — without pain or fear.
​
Postpartum recovery is about more than physical healing — it’s also about regaining confidence, restoring function, and feeling like yourself again. Our comprehensive postpartum care includes:
-
Treatment for pain, incontinence, and diastasis recti.
-
Techniques for pelvic floor relaxation (not just strengthening), since many women experience overactivity after birth.
-
Guidance for safe return to physical activity, lifting, and exercise.
-
Education on posture, breathing, and core coordination to support everyday movement.​
​
We go beyond traditional Kegels — in fact, many women are performing them incorrectly or when they shouldn’t. Instead, we focus on individualized retraining of the pelvic floor, core, and hips to promote balance, flexibility, and strength where you need it most.
