Postpartum Physical Therapy Houston

What Is Postpartum Physical Therapy?

Postpartum physical therapy is a specialized form of care that focuses on helping women recover from childbirth and address any related physical and emotional challenges. In Houston, our team of expert physical therapists is dedicated to providing personalized, compassionate care that empowers you to take control of your pelvic health.

From healing C-section scars to managing incontinence, our postpartum physical therapy program is designed to address the unique needs of new mothers. We believe that every woman deserves to feel strong, confident, and empowered in her body, and we're committed to helping you achieve that.

The Importance of Pelvic Floor Health

Your pelvic floor is a complex network of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue that plays a crucial role in supporting your bladder, uterus, and bowels. During pregnancy and childbirth, your pelvic floor undergoes significant changes that can lead to a range of issues, including incontinence, prolapse, and pelvic pain.

By prioritizing your pelvic floor health, you can reduce your risk of these common postpartum complications, improve your overall physical function, and enhance your emotional well-being. Our postpartum physical therapy program in Houston is designed to help you achieve optimal pelvic floor health and wellness.
