We're here to provide indivicualized guidance on what your body needs to help you stay moving, help you stay pain free, and help you achieve your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum goals. Working with one of our therapists during your pregnancy establishes the relationship and lines of communication for your postpartum needs. Learn how to manage pre-existing injuries or dysfunctions safely and comfortably during your pregnancy. Prepare for the postpartum period by getting individualized guidance on the optimal recovery strategies, biomechanics, and equipment you may need. 

As movement experts, we have the unique ability to assess the mobility, strength, and flexibility of your body and address how these factors may impact your birthing experience.

• Learn how to prepare and protect your pelvic floor prior to giving birth.

• Get assistance in communicating your preferences to your birthing team.

Get the individualized care for the rehabilitation every birthing person needs in the 4th trimester plus guidance to safely return to the exercise and activities you love! We firmly believe that every birthing person should be evaluated by a pelvic floor physical therapist postpartum. While your OB or midwife is checking in on the healing of your uterus, incision, or other possible complications, a pelvic floor physical therapist will assess your pelvic floor muscle strength and tone, hip strength and mobility, spine mobility, diastasis recti, rib dysfunctions, and biomechanics that can impact your recovery.  

Returning to your desired exercise, hobbies, and sports postpartum should be based on so much more than one visit 6 weeks postpartum "clearing" you. New moms should be assessed for readiness to tolerate an increase in their physical activities and then given an individualized exercise plan to bridge the gap. Learn what you need to do to return to doing the things you love safely and without pain, leakage, heaviness, or further injury.

All physical therapy sessions are one-on-one for 60 minutes. This session takes place at our Arlington office. 

We understand how difficult it is to get out of the house during those early weeks postpartum and that getting an appointment on the calendar is enough work. If you don't feel like leaving the house, we're happy to come to you. We'd prefer to come to you! This option is available for postpartum physical therapy during the first 12 weeks postpartum for those who live inside the Beltway.

All physical therapy sessions are one-on-one for 60 minutes. This session takes place within your own home.

Pilates has amazing benefits during and after pregnancy. Pilates is a movement system designed to integrate breath, mobility, and strength, making it the perfect framework for supporting your body through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Pilates will teach you to connect and coordinate your breath, deep abdominals, and pelvic floor while optimizing joint mobility and muscle flexibility. 

This session is one-on-one for 50 minutes, either on the Pilates apparatus at our Arlington office or virtually in your own home.

Prenatal and postpartum Pilates classes are taught on the apparatus, using the springs to build strength, mobility, and stability while supporting your ever changing body. Class is appropriate for birthing people at any stage of your pregnancy! We do ask for clearance from your OB or midwife to join this class. For those postpartum, we recommend joining if you're new in your journey returning to movement or if you feel you are having trouble connecting to your breath, your body, or your pelvic floor regardless of how long it's been since you've given birth.

Prenatal & Postpartum Pilates Class is a 50 minute group class at our Arlington office.
