Hear What Others Have to Say

I saw Ariella at 6 weeks postpartum for a pelvic floor evaluation and it was a great experience. The evaluation was detailed and she was extremely thorough. We talked about my goals and came up with a plan to help me to achieve them. It was nice having a personal assessment of my pelvic floor strength beyond the 6 week check up at the OB. I was able to recover safely and much more quickly than my first pregnancy using the exercises provided. Highly recommend for anyone pregnant or post partum. I wish I would’ve started sooner.

If you've given birth—whether three months or three decades ago—then you're postpartum. Welcome to the club!
The only problem: postpartum women often don't get the care they need to fully heal
from the demands of pregnancy.
Did you know? The typical woman will have between 8 and 14 prenatal appointments with her doctor before giving birth—but just ONE appointment after giving birth. This means hidden health issues could persist long after the baby arrives. Many women don't even realize there could be a connection between their frustrating concerns and their prior labor and delivery.
At District Performance & Physio, we help women take a closer look at their health—and provide real solutions so moms can feel, move, and look their best.
If you're a mom experiencing any of the following, you might need postpartum physical therapy:
-
Pelvic pain
-
Groin and hip pain
-
Low back pain
-
Pain during sex
-
Ab separation
-
Chronic fatigue
-
Urinary leakage while laughing, working out,
-
sneezing, or picking up the kids
-
Stomach and digestive problems
-
Tension headaches or migraines
-
Pelvic organ prolapse
-
The "mommy pooch"
