Postpartum Recovery - PT On The Go

Postpartum Recovery:

After childbirth(Vaginal birth or C-section), you may feel like symptoms such as leaking or pelvic pain are your “new normal,” but they don’t have to be. These symptoms, while common, are not something you have to live with.
At times, there may be complications resulting in symptoms such as incontinence, pelvic pain or pressure, back/neck pain, constipation, painful urination, weakness, cesarean and episiotomy scar tissue tenderness, and pain with intercourse.

Postpartum recovery goes beyond Kegels. At PT On The Go Physical Therapy, we provide personalized assessments to identify the best exercises, stretches, and strategies tailored to your needs, helping you regain comfort and control. Let us support your journey to recovery with care and expertise.
