The Importance of Prenatal and Postpartum Physical Therapy

Your body is constantly adapting during pregnancy—muscles stretch, ligaments loosen, and posture shifts to support your growing baby. After birth, those same structures need time, attention, and guided support to heal and function properly again. Without proper therapy, it’s easy to develop discomfort or dysfunction that lingers far beyond the postpartum months.

Prenatal and postpartum physical therapy helps women:

  • Relieve back, hip, and pelvic pain
  • Improve posture and movement
  • Strengthen the pelvic floor and core muscles
  • Prevent diastasis recti (ab separation)
  • Ease labor and delivery preparation
  • Support recovery after C-section or vaginal birth
  • Restore bladder and bowel control
  • Reconnect with the body after childbirth

Lisa’s approach emphasizes education, empowerment, and gentle progression, ensuring your recovery feels supportive, not stressful.

Common Conditions Treated

Lisa Johnson treats a wide range of prenatal and postpartum concerns, including:

  • Pelvic Pain: Addressing joint instability and muscle tightness caused by pregnancy hormones
  • Diastasis Recti: Targeted exercises to close abdominal separation and strengthen core muscles
  • C-Section Recovery: Scar mobilization, gentle strengthening, and posture re-education
  • Urinary or Bowel Leakage: Pelvic floor training to restore control and confidence
  • Back, Hip, or Shoulder Pain: Restoring alignment and function disrupted by pregnancy or childcare demands
  • Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Customized strengthening to reduce symptoms and improve support
  • Perineal or Vaginal Pain: Restoring comfort and mobility following delivery
  • Postural Imbalance: Addressing changes caused by breastfeeding, babywearing, or fatigue

The Stakes — Why Postpartum Healing Matters

Too often, women are told that pain, leakage, or weakness after childbirth are simply “normal.” While common, these symptoms are not inevitable—and without the right care, they can persist for months or even years.

Delaying therapy may lead to:

  • Chronic pelvic pain or instability
  • Core weakness and posture issues
  • Difficulty returning to exercise
  • Bladder or bowel dysfunction
  • Emotional frustration or loss of confidence

By starting physical therapy early, you can reclaim strength, mobility, and peace of mind, ensuring a smoother transition into motherhood.
