While a 6-week OB clearance is important, it doesn't assess pelvic floor strength, core function, or readiness to return to activity. That’s where pelvic floor PT comes in, providing individualized care to help you rebuild strength, manage symptoms, and safely return to movement. At Foundations Pelvic Health in Boston, we specialize in pelvic floor physical therapy to support women through postpartum recovery.

Pregnancy is a time of immense change for your body, and one area that often needs extra attention is your pelvic floor. It plays a crucial role in supporting your body during pregnancy and delivery. Let’s explore how you can better understand and care for this important area as you prepare for childbirth and postpartum recovery.
