PREGNANCY
Pelvic Health Care is imperative during pregnancy and after (“fourth trimester”). Our bodies undergo constant change during and after pregnancy. Many hurdles can be avoided with proper education and awareness.
Prenatal considerations:

- Pain management
- Posture and breathing techniques
- Safe exercise during pregnancy
- Preparation for delivery (massage, stretches, delivery position options, breathing techniques, proper PFM coordination for delivery)
Postnatal considerations:
- Diastasis Recti (separation of the rectus abdominal muscles)
- Returning to work and exercise
- Constipation management
- Breast feeding
- Wearing your baby
- Proper body mechanics caring for baby (and maybe your toddler(s) too)
- Activities of daily living, and home management tasks
- Return to sex
