Pregnancy Postpartum in Pooler

Diastasis Recti

Diastasis Recti is a common condition that affects many women during and after pregnancy. It occurs when the rectus abdominis muscles separate, causing the connective tissue to stretch. This can lead to weakness in the core and a noticeable gap in the abdominal muscles. Pelvic floor physical therapy is a safe, effective way to restore strength, improve control, and rebuild function in the abdominal wall.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP)

Pelvic organ prolapse happens when weakened pelvic floor muscles allow organs like the bladder or uterus to drop into the vaginal space. This condition can worsen without proper care. Physical therapy helps restore pelvic floor strength, reduce symptoms, and may even prevent surgery. Pelvic Health & Wellness offers personalized treatment and education to help you understand your risk, recognize symptoms early, and choose the best treatment options for your recovery.

Pubic Symphysis Dysfunction

The pubic symphysis is the joint that connects the left and right pubic bones. When it becomes unstable or misaligned, it can cause pain and difficulty with movement. Our pelvic floor specialists assess alignment and provide gentle joint mobilization and targeted strengthening exercises. With expert guidance, we help patients recover stability and return to daily activities without pain or restriction.

Incontinence

Incontinence refers to the involuntary loss of urine and is often caused by weakness, tightness, or spasms in the pelvic floor muscles. You may experience leakage while sneezing or feel urgency that’s difficult to control. Pelvic floor therapy strengthens these muscles and improves coordination. In some cases, gentle stimulation using electrodes can help retrain the muscles for better control.

Birth Preparation

Pelvic floor therapy can support your body throughout pregnancy and help prepare for labor and delivery. Our specialists evaluate your posture, breathing, and movement patterns to develop a personalized plan that supports a smoother birth. We guide you in optimal birthing positions, breathing techniques, and ways to protect the pelvic floor during delivery.

VBAC (Vaginal Birth After C-Section) Prep

Planning a VBAC? Our therapists assess pelvic floor function and address scar tissue from a previous cesarean to improve your chances of a successful vaginal birth. We provide education on labor stages, safe pushing strategies, and ideal body positioning. Through internal assessment, we ensure the pelvic muscles are ready and not at risk of injury during delivery.

Painful Intercourse

Pain during intercourse can result from tight or overactive pelvic muscles, scar tissue, or nerve sensitivity. Our therapy focuses on relaxing and releasing tension in the pelvic area. We use gentle, hands-on techniques to restore mobility, blood flow, and comfort. Our goal is to help you regain confidence and enjoy intimacy without discomfort.

C-Section Recovery

A cesarean birth can lead to tightness, scar adhesions, and weakness in the core and pelvic floor. Physical therapy helps reduce pain, release scar tissue, and restore strength to the abdomen and back. Whether your surgery was recent or years ago, our customized rehab plans help you regain full-body function and reduce lingering discomfort.

Postpartum Exercise

Returning to movement after childbirth can boost energy, lift mood, and support long-term wellness. Our therapists design safe postpartum exercise programs tailored to your body’s needs. We focus on rebuilding strength, improving sleep, and managing stress—while protecting your healing core and pelvic floor.

SI Joint Dysfunction

The sacroiliac (SI) joints connect your pelvis to the base of your spine. When these joints are too tight or too loose, they can cause low back and hip pain. We provide hands-on treatment, corrective exercises, and postural guidance to restore proper joint movement and reduce pain.

Low Back Pain

Low back pain is often linked to pelvic floor dysfunction, especially during or after pregnancy. Many women experience sciatica or back aches without realizing the pelvic floor is involved. Our therapists assess both the back and pelvic region to create a targeted treatment plan for long-term relief.

Hip Pain

Hip discomfort can stem from muscle imbalances involving the pelvic floor and core. These areas must work in harmony for smooth, pain-free movement. Through detailed evaluation and guided strengthening, we treat the root causes of hip pain and restore balance in the entire system.

Tailbone Pain (Coccydynia)

Tailbone pain can occur after childbirth or from prolonged pressure on the spine. This pain can be sharp and limit movement. Our pelvic floor therapy includes techniques to relieve tension around the coccyx, release nearby soft tissue, and reduce pain with posture correction and gentle exercises. Many patients experience lasting relief and return to comfort quickly.
