Pregnancy Physical Therapy
Pain (anywhere!) in pregnancy - not normal.
Pressure in the vagina - not normal.
Peeing your pants - not normal.
Society and even your midwife or OBGYN may accept these as “normal” conditions of pregnancy. These symptoms are warning signs that your body is not functioning efficiently, normally, and at its best! In just one PT session get relief from pain, pressure, and leaking and be empowered that you can heal your body to be the best version of yourself
Birth Preparation
The physical demands of giving birth to a baby are comparable to the physical demands of an athletic event. There’s SO MUCH you can do to physically prepare for birth - as physical therapists are experts in movement and exercise we are the most qualified to teach you what to do to prepare for birth! Train your body with strengthening, stretching, and yoga-based exercises to loosen your hips and strengthen those "pushing" muscles. Equally important, learn techniques to relax and focus your mind to prepare to let your womanly body do what it was made to do. If appropriate, receive manual therapy to encourage muscle relaxation and promote optimum functioning of muscles and joints while achieving a beautiful, confident posture.
Pregnancy Fitness
It’s confusing to know who to trust out there. The internet is full of confusing conflicting information. Your doctor or midwife doesn’t give you a satisfying answer with regards to exercise in pregnancy. Online fitness professionals do not give you the personalized attention that you need during this sacred time of life. Dr. Becky Wooster, PT is an experienced mom of 3 who is trained specifically in movement and exercise to specifically prescribe exercises for your pregnant body. Learn strengthening, stretching, and yoga-based exercises to best prepare for bodily changes and birth, as well as prevent the aches and pains with bodily changes. Additionally, during PT sessions you may receive manual therapy in order to achieve a neutral posture, rid yourself of aches and pains, and promote opening of the pelvis for birth.
