Should I see a PT After Birth?

Did you know it is standard of care in other countries to see a pelvic floor physiotherapist or a PT after birth? But what Americans get is the admonition to "get back into their skinny jeans" and "get their body back".

Pelvic health can be achieved, even with the changes that pregnancy and birth bring (both vaginal and cesarean). Muscles can be trained to work properly, but that takes professional guidance, and knowledge that most women don't automatically know.

You can schedule a PT visit without a Dr. referral, and they will run your insurance or give you an accurate pricing for your visit. It is a valuable tool for all pregnant and postpartum people to use, so know your local experts!
