Regain Your Strength After Giving Birth with Postpartum Strengthening!
Have you recently given birth to a new bundle of joy? If so, as many new mothers are, you are also likely overwhelmed with caring for your new addition to the family while also recovering from your delivery.
If you’ve recently delivered a baby and you are looking for relief, please do not hesitate to contact our Fort Worth, TX physical therapy office today! We will help you ease your discomfort and regain your strength so you can get back to doing what matters most – taking care of you and your new baby!
It is important to improve your pelvic muscle strength and endurance in order to avoid long-term dysfunctions. Breastfeeding moms may have a bigger “mountain” to climb because of increased hormone levels, but there is an easy and comfortable way to address most postpartum dysfunctions with our newly developed postpartum program.
How can postpartum strengthening benefit me?
Many new mothers will experience postpartum back pain due to the intense strain that their back and abdominal muscles experience when contracting and pushing in the delivery room. If you had a C-section, you may be experiencing pain and discomfort from the invasive procedure. Even the act of picking up and holding your newborn baby throughout the day can cause back pain and achiness.
Postpartum strengthening consists of physical therapy treatments to help you with your postpartum recovery. Back and pelvic pain are the most commonly reported areas of discomfort and will likely be a large part of your postpartum strengthening treatments, in addition to gentle core strengthening exercises/stretches.
With our postpartum strengthening program, one of our Fort Worth, TX physical therapists will provide you with the proper resources needed for pain and muscle management, strength training, body mechanics, and flexibility/stretching. This will help your body ease pain and speed up its recovery process, in addition to gaining back any strength or flexibility that was lost during pregnancy, and making you more comfortable overall.
