Restore Your Core: Why Postpartum Physical Therapy is Essential

Bringing a new life into the world is an incredible experience, but it can take a toll on a woman's body. The Body WorkShop understands these changes and provides specialized programs to help women recover and regain strength after childbirth. This blog post will explore the importance of postpartum physical therapy, focusing on common issues and how The Body WorkShop can help you on your journey to recovery.

Postpartum Physical Therapy: What is it and Why Do I Need It?

Postpartum physical therapy is a specialized area of physical therapy focusing on the unique needs of women after childbirth. It helps address a wide range of physical challenges that can arise during pregnancy and delivery. The Body WorkShop's postpartum recovery program is specifically designed to help women regain strength and function, addressing concerns such as:

• Diastasis Recti: This refers to the separation of the abdominal muscles during pregnancy, often leading to a visible bulge in the stomach.

• Pelvic Floor Dysfunction: The pelvic floor muscles support the bladder, uterus, and rectum. Childbirth can weaken or injure these muscles, causing issues like incontinence, pain, and prolapse.

• Pain and Discomfort: Postpartum physical therapy can address various pain points, including c-section scar pain, back pain, and pelvic pain.
