Pre/Post-Natal Pain Relief

Physical Therapy Can Ease Delivery and Recovery Of Your Little One!

Are you currently expecting a baby? Pregnancy is a very exciting time, and your body is going through so many changes because a new little person is developing! These changes include postural changes, increased load bearing through your spine and pelvis, stress on the pelvic floor, and ligament laxity.

These changes the body undergoes can lead to low pain back, pelvic floor weakness, urinary incontinence, and constipation.

Pregnancy is a normal part of life, which can be pleasant with pre and post-natal therapy. At Connections Physical Therapy we combine therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, and massage to help make the pregnancy and childbirth process as smooth as possible.

At our Massachusetts clinic, our goal is to prepare your body to return to your prior level of function postpartum. 

If you are an expectant mama or one who recently gave birth, don’t hesitate to contact Connections Physical Therapy today! We’ll help make your pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum recovery as easy for you as possible.

Physical therapy to prevent scarring

Because of C-sections or episiotomies, pregnancy can result in scarring. This can trigger restrictions in the body’s myofascial system. When you attempt to move, this may result in a decreased range of motion or unpleasant sensations and pain.

Our Massachusetts physical therapy practice utilizes myofascial release strategies such as IASTM, massage therapy, strain/counter strain, stretching, and mobilization to regain mobility and movement. 

Diastasis recti also referred to as abdominal separation, can also affect some women. Diastasis recti can interfere with the strengthening of the muscles of the abdomen and cause what some people refer to as the post-pregnancy “pooch.”

To diagnose and treat this pre and post-natal pain, our therapists will use the best evidence-based clinical expertise possible! We carry out our treatment plans with compassion, concern, and understanding, so you can be assured that no matter what part of your pregnancy you are actually in with your recovery, we will take care of you and do our best to ensure the highest possible result!
