Postpartum Recovery & Return to Activity
Recovery Doesn’t Stop at Your Six-Week Checkup
Bringing a baby into the world is a massive physical transition. While your 6-week medical check is a milestone, it is often just the beginning of your recovery journey.
At NOLA Pelvic Health we believe postpartum care should be proactive, not just reactive. Whether you gave birth 6 weeks ago or 6 decades ago, we help postpartum individuals rebuild strength, confidence, and capacity in a way that respects healing and supports long-term movement goals!
How We Support Your Postpartum Healing
Pregnancy and birth affect the entire system — the pelvic floor, abdominal wall, hips, and core. Our specialized physical therapy helps you:
Rebuild Core Strength: Safely address Diastasis Recti and core weakness.
Restore Coordination: Improve muscle endurance and pelvic floor function.
Release Tension: Treat scar tissue and muscle tightness that can cause discomfort.
Return to Activity: Get back to running, lifting, pilates, or HIIT with a plan that respects your healing timeline.
Common Reasons People Come to Us
Many folks are told that certain symptoms are “just part of having a baby”. We are here to tell you that while these symptoms are common, they are not normal, and they are treatable!
