Postpartum Pelvic Therapy
Recovering after birth looks different for everyone, but you don't have to navigate it alone. Our postpartum pelvic floor physical therapy helps you heal after vaginal delivery or C-section by treating issues like pelvic pain, urinary leakage, bowel concerns, diastasis recti, prolapse, painful intercourse, core weakness, and scar restrictions.
We believe that true healing is more than just a 6 week check up and simply being told you're "all cleared." Through one-on-one, personalized care, we'll help you restore strength, improve core and overall function, and confidently return to the activities you love—whether that's lifting your baby, exercising, or reconnecting with your body and feeling like yourself again.
Your Postpartum Care with Core Connections
1
Early Healing & Recovery
When: The early weeks to the first 3-4 months after birth​
What: Initial recovery focuses on supporting your body's early healing. This may include reconnecting to your core, pelvic floor care after clearance, hands-on treatments to support tissues recovering from pregnancy and birth, and initiating gentle movement and exercise.
It is also a chance to talk through how you’re really doing—physically and emotionally—while receiving guidance on recovery.
2
Rebuild Strength & Return to Activity
When: As your body recovers​
What: As healing progresses, we focus on rebuilding strength and stability through your core, hips, and pelvic floor. We help you return to daily activities, exercise, and movement with confidence and support.
​
Expect continued hands-on care like options dry needling, soft tissue work, joint and scar mobilizations, and advancing strength, mobility, and endurance exercises.

Resilience & Advanced Support
When: As you return to all activities or feel ready for more
What: Feeling "back to normal" doesn't always mean your body has fully recovered. We help bridge the gap between healing and thriving by addressing lingering symptoms, progressing strength and confidence, and supporting your return to everything from chasing toddlers to lifting heavy, running races, sports, and the activities that make you feel like yourself again.
You Don't Have to Figure Out Postpartum Alone
Every postpartum recovery is different. Some people feel ready to move forward quickly, while others notice lingering symptoms that make daily life feel harder than expected. Pelvic floor therapy can help address many of the physical changes that occur during pregnancy and birth.
