Postpartum pelvic physiotherapy for new moms
Whether you’ve recently have a baby and are wondering what you can do to feel better during your postpartum recovery; you’re struggling to keep up with your kids; or feel held back and can’t imagine getting out on the trails, going for a run, or doing other activities you used to love, we’re here to help you feel like yourself again.
Congratulations on becoming a mom!
Whether you just brought your baby into the world, or it’s been a couple of years, the changes your body has gone through do not need to be permanent.
If you’ve thought to yourself, “Since having a baby, I really wish I could enjoy the activities I used to do again”, you’re in the right place.
At Harmony Physiotherapy, we’ve helped MANY new moms get back to the activities they love, and you’re definitely not alone!
Some conditions we’ve helped our patients with postpartum:
Core weakness
Diastasis Recti
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Body aches & pains
The feeling that something is “just not right”
Bladder & bowel leaking
Pelvic pain
Difficulties with intimacy
…And many more!
There’s a lot of bad advice out there for new moms.
You might have heard these false beliefs:
Don’t push yourself too hard at the gym, on the trail, or during any activity. Your body can’t handle it yet.
If you’re dealing with pelvic pain or heaviness, you just need to take some painkillers and be sure to rest a lot.
Just wear a pad if you’re leaking in-between visits to the washroom.
You just need to “power through” because you’ll always deal with aches and pains after having a baby.
The truth is:
If you’re uncertain about physical activity, ask a physiotherapist! Some exercises can help with weak muscles, but others can make it worse.
Painkillers can have long-term side effects on the body. There are natural solutions that will solve your problem and not put a bandaid on it!
Wearing a pad daily doesn’t need to be your new normal.
“Powering through” is not your cost of admission to becoming a mom. Many new moms need a little more help recovering, and you shouldn’t be afraid to ask for it.
When it comes to solving something serious like postpartum pain or discomfort…
You must choose the right provider to help you recover from your pregnancy - whether it’s been a few weeks, months, or years since your delivery!
If you don’t, you could end up suffering from postpartum issues longer than necessary and miss out on the activities you love.
It’s possible to recover from pregnancy naturally before your issues turn into more chronic pain.
To do that, you have to not just treat the pain but have a provider who is willing to figure out what specifically happened during your pregnancy to cause the lasting issues.
We offer a hands-on approach to your wellness using our clinic’s 3-step recovery method
Step 1: We listen to your story
Finding the help you need for your postpartum issues can be exhausting.
Before coming to us, it’s likely you’ve tried everything from pain killers, Kegel exercises, to wearing pads.
No matter what you try, you still seem to find yourself struggling.
That’s why our first step is to have a conversation with you and give you the time to tell your story.
We’ll listen to your pressing concerns with open ears so that we can get you the honest answers you’ve been seeking, no matter how long you’ve been suffering.
That way we’ll have a deep understanding of what’s going on, not just with your problem areas, but with your whole body and how it’s impacting your life.
Step 2: We find the cause of your pain
At Harmony Physiotherapy, we’ve worked with hundreds of moms before you, and we know that every person’s cause of pain is different and can impact them in different ways.
Your postpartum issue might feel too complicated, or that you’ll just have to live with pain and discomfort forever, but it’s not true!
We’ll use our experience and knowledge to take a deep dive together into your specific problem and find out what’s really going on.
That way we’ll discover the original cause of your pain or discomfort, and be able to find a lasting solution so you don’t have to suffer anymore.
Step 3: We create your custom solution
After we hear all about your concerns, the treatments you’ve tried, and what you want to get back to, we’ll use it to create a customized plan of care.
We’ll let you know how we can help, exactly what care will look like, and how long it will take to feel better again.
Then we’ll get rid of your pain and discomfort and work together to get you back to what matters most.
Finally, get relief from your postpartum pains and feel like yourself again!
You don’t have to sacrifice the activities you love over problems that can be fixed.
Let’s chat about how you can feel like yourself again.
