POSTPARTUM RECOVERY
Supporting Recovery and Function After Birth
Postpartum recovery involves ongoing physical changes that can affect the pelvic floor, core, and daily function. At HerCore, we provide pelvic floor and orthopedic physical therapy to address common postpartum concerns, including diastasis recti, incontinence, cesarean scar mobility, prolapse, tailbone pain, and more. Our postpartum care focuses on recovery, functional movement and strength, and individualized goals.
SPECIALTIES
Postpartum Symptoms Are Common, But Not Your New Normal
Diastasis Recti
Widening of the connective tissue of the linea alba that can occur during pregnancy and postpartum as the abdomen expands and the tissue stretches to accommodate a growing baby.
Urinary Incontinence
Involuntary leakage of urine after childbirth that can occur when the pelvic floor and bladder support system are recovering from the physical demands of pregnancy and delivery.
Cesarean Scar Healing and Management
Focuses on improving mobility, reducing sensitivity, and restoring normal movement of the scar and surrounding abdominal wall tissues.
Bowel Incontinence
Involuntary leakage of gas or stool after childbirth that can occur when the pelvic floor and bowel continence system are recovering from the physical demands of pregnancy and delivery.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
A change in the support of the pelvic organs that can create sensations of pressure or heaviness in the vagina as the pelvic floor and surrounding tissues adapt after birth.
Tailbone Pain
Pain around the tailbone that can occur after childbirth due to changes in pressure, positioning, or mobility of the tailbone and surrounding pelvic floor muscles.
Pain with Penetration
Discomfort or pain experienced with vaginal penetration that can occur when the pelvic floor muscles and surrounding tissues are sensitive, overactive, or unable to relax and accommodate penetration.
