Postpartum Recovery in Pooler
Postpartum Recovery with Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy in Pooler
Bringing a new life into the world is a profound experience, but the postpartum period also presents unexpected challenges. While your baby receives love and care, many new moms are left wondering—what about my recovery?
At Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness LLC in Pooler, we believe postpartum healing is just as important. Our specialized Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy program is designed to help you regain strength, relieve pain, and restore confidence so you can enjoy motherhood without discomfort holding you back.
A Personalized Approach to Your Postpartum Recovery
Every woman’s postpartum recovery journey is unique, shaped by factors such as delivery method, physical condition, and personal health history. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, our expert therapists conduct a thorough postpartum assessment to create a customized rehabilitation plan tailored to your specific needs. Our treatment focuses on pelvic floor muscle strength and coordination to restore function, abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti) to improve core stability, postural alignment of the pelvis, hips, and spine for better movement and reduced strain, and scar tissue restrictions and lingering swelling to promote healing and comfort. With this individualized approach, we help you regain strength, mobility, and confidence throughout your postpartum recovery.What Conditions Can Postpartum Physical Therapy in Pooler Help?
Many women struggle with lingering postpartum symptoms that can persist for months—or even years—without proper rehabilitation. We treat common post-pregnancy concerns, including:
- Pelvic girdle pain (stiffness, instability, or discomfort)
- Low back & hip pain
- Pelvic floor dysfunction (urinary or fecal incontinence, leakage, or prolapse)
- Coccydynia (tailbone pain)
- Diastasis recti (abdominal separation)
- Perineal & episiotomy scar pain
- Persistent swelling or nerve compression
- Difficulty activating or coordinating pelvic floor muscles
These issues often stem from:
- Hormonal changes impacting tissue elasticity
- Pelvic instability from pregnancy and delivery
- Core muscle imbalances
- Upper back & neck strain from breastfeeding and newborn care
- Improper body mechanics
Many women recover naturally over the first postpartum year, but lingering dysfunction often requires targeted therapy to fully restore function and prevent long-term issues.

Success Stories & Testimonials
If I could give Jasmine 10 stars, I truly would. Jasmine is one of the people I owe a huge thank you to for helping me along my journey of having a vba3c. The pelvic therapy was a huge factor in me successfully giving birth to my baby girl. She made sure she listened to my concerns and she made sure that I was well prepared for birthing my baby. She is absolutely wonderful and has an amazing spirit!
Ciara Morris
Very impressed with Dr. Jasmine Polk. She is incredibly knowledgeable and very kind and encouraging. I am hopeful to make the progress I need to after having the birth of my son.
Jenna Daugherty
Dr. Polk is an amazing therapist who incorporates an array of manual therapy techniques to help you heal your pelvic floor issues & get you back to its prior functions. If you’re pregnant and are in pain you NEED to see her ASAP. I went to her twice during my recent pregnancy. My last visit with her I was in so much pain and wasn’t due for another week. I could tell my belly dropped and I wasn’t in excruciating pain after seeing her. I went into labor the next day & birthed my baby two days after I saw her. All in all, a perfectly positive experience with Dr. Polk. 10/10 recommend!
