Birth Prep
 

PREPARATION FOR BIRTH

We would love to serve as part of your birth team to help you feel informed and prepared for what’s to come. we can provide you the feedback, treatment and education necessary to improve pelvic floor function and mobility in order to minimize pelvic complications from birth and reduce the risk of tearing.

 

How pelvic floor physical therapy can help

  • Determine health of pelvic floor (tension, pain, weakness, etc.)

  • Work on breathing mechanics to use for labor and delivery

  • Work on effective bear down and pushing mechanics without tensing your pelvic floor

  • Instruction on correct performance of perineal massage

  • Discuss optimal positioning related to your birth plan and the anatomical advantages of the pelvis

  • Discuss postpartum recovery and expectations for both a vaginal and cesarean delivery

  • Discuss posture and body changes that occur during pregnancy and help your body manage those challenges.
