PREGNANCY
Supportive care focused on function and strength during pregnancy.
Pregnancy brings significant physical changes, and specialized support is essential. At HerCore, we provide hands-on pelvic floor and orthopedic care to manage pregnancy-related symptoms and support physiologic changes throughout gestation. Our treatment approach prioritizes optimizing movement, supporting daily function, and preparing the pelvic floor for labor and delivery.
CONDITIONS WE TREAT

Pain and instability in the front of the pelvis, often caused by joint laxity in late pregnancy.
Sacroiliac Joint Pain

Discomfort or tightness in one or both hips as the pelvis adapts to support a growing baby.
