Childbirth marks a new phase of life in more ways than one. It represents a period of abundant joy for the entire family. It also presents new challenges, both physical and emotional, for everyone involved. Physical therapy will help mom (and dad) achieve peak state and high energy levels at a time when they need it the most.

For best results, consult a physical therapist during, and after pregnancy. A little bit goes a long way, especially if you start stretching and strengthening exercises early in the pregnancy. The sooner you start exercising, the better. The physical therapist will teach you the right exercises and prevent overexertion. If there was ever a time when mom (and dad) needed a plan to remain healthy, this is it.

Physical therapy will not only prevent injury during pregnancy, but also enable mothers to regain their prenatal body. A healthy mommy leads to a happy baby. If you or anyone you know is about to have (or just had) a baby, ask them to give us a call. Physical therapy can change your life, and the lives of your loved ones. We look forward to working with you.
