Pelvic Health, Prenatal, & Post-partum Care

PRENATAL & POSTPARTUM CARE
When it comes to postpartum care, mothers deserve better.
At MetaTherapy, our practitioners will provide a comprehensive postpartum checkup and progressive healing through exercise targeting the core, pelvic floor and total body.
Benefits of proper rehabilitation after vaginal birth and c-section surgery include:
- reduction of adhesions and restrictions in the tissue surrounding the scar
- better appearance of the scar tissue
- decreases pain in the connective tissue
- improve pelvic floor and core function
- reduce pain from MSK conditions due to c-section (e.g pelvic pain, low back pain, etc.)
Our practitioners can help alleviate common prenatal and postpartum pain and issues including:
-
Development of faulty postures
-
Upper extremity stresses caused by the physical changes of pregnancy and the muscular requirements of infant care
-
Changing body image
-
Altered circulation, varicose veins, lower extremity edema
-
Pelvic floor stress or trauma
-
Abdominal muscle stretch and trauma, and diastasis recti
-
Decrease in cardiovascular fitness due to lack of knowledge about adequate and safe forms of exercise
-
Lack of knowledge about physical changes in pregnancy and childbirth, possibly increasing the chance that injury-inducing behaviors will occur
-
Inadequate relaxation skills, necessary for labor and delivery
-
Improper body mechanics
-
Development of musculoskeletal pathologies associated with pregnancy
