Let’s face it—we aren’t getting the postpartum care we deserve! As many moms know, when you go in for your 6-week postpartum checkup with your OB/GYN, you’re lucky if they even do a physical exam. They’re more concerned with whether or not you need birth control. And somehow, they still clear you to ‘have sex’, which is likely the last thing on your mind.
At Mind to Body Healing (M2B), we are pelvic floor physical therapists and MOMs, so we’ve all been there. Feelings of isolation, fear, happiness, anxiety, and joy are all mixed into one ball of emotion, with our own physical health not even on the radar.
But at M2B, we want that to change. We are here for the MOMs (yes, the babies are cute, but you did all the hard work), so let us take care of you.
So much changes during pregnancy and after birth (via vaginal or c-section). Commonly, moms experience urine leaking (with urge or activity), downward pressure or feeling like something is falling out, pain (with or without sex), constipation, and abdominal separation/weakness (and those are just the physical complaints!). Even though these are all COMMON, they are not ‘normal’, which means you DON’T have to accept that this is just part of being a mom. You can get your healthy functioning body back and return to doing the things you love (with or without your babe!) without pain or peeing your pants (or worse!)
Another misconception is that you can just do kegel exercises, and it will all get better with time. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy, and research consistently shows that women don’t typically perform Kegels correctly with just verbal and written instructions (which means we need to show you if you’re doing them right), but also if you are even a good candidate for them. That’s right; some women may make some of their symptoms WORSE by doing kegels (especially incorrectly).
So what are you waiting for? We are here to take care of you and set up a plan of care that will meet your goals. AND when you call to schedule, mention Fit4Moms and receive your initial evaluation FREE! That’s right—no charge, a $225 value—as our gift to you for simply being…..YOU.
In health and love,
