Pregnancy and Postpartum Physical Therapy
Pelvic health physiotherapy tailored to those who are pregnant or postpartum in the Durham, NC community and beyond.
Pregnancy & birth is a huge physical undertaking. You deserve support during this time of life.
These sessions focus on preparing your body for birth during pregnancy and helping you recover well after birth. We can also address any symptoms that you may be experiencing - you do not need to live with symptoms just because you’re a mom.
What we can address:
Birth preparation: strengthening, mobility, positioning, and more
Pain associated with your growing baby: lower back pain, hip pain, abdominal pain
SI joint pain/instability
Diastasis
Incontinence or constipation
Safe strengthening during pregnancy and postpartum
…and more

If you’re looking for someone to help you feel good during pregnancy and prepare your body for birth, I’ve got you.
You don’t need to guess when it comes to your care. Pelvic PT for pregnant and postpartum women can help you avoid pain, stay strong and remain active during pregnancy, avoid unnecessary secondary effects of pregnancy (like incontinence and excessive diastasis), as well as prepare you for birth as much as possible.
What to expect
My approach is designed to give you the best results in the most efficient way. Each session is 60 minutes long and one-on-one with me. You will not be passed off to a different therapist each session.
This means that we’re able to develop and refine your specific treatment plan. This way, what we’re doing in therapy is always helping you get to the goal that we’ve set together. No sessions or time wasted and always time to discuss any changes and updates that need to be made.
My approach is a blend of manual techniques and exercise and is tailored to your needs, always.
