MATERNAL THERAPY
Pregnancy & Postpartum Care
Your Body is Training for a Marathon
​
Did you know that in France, it is mandatory for every woman to attend pelvic physical therapy after childbirth? They recognize that birth is a major athletic event, and recovery shouldn’t be left to chance.
​
Pregnancy Pain is Common, But It Is Not "Normal"
​
Pregnancy brings immense musculoskeletal changes, but you don't have to simply "live with" the discomfort. Whether you are experiencing hip or groin pain, sciatica, round ligament pain, or pubic symphysis dysfunction, these are signals that your body needs support. Treating these symptoms early makes for a more comfortable pregnancy and a smoother recovery.
Prepare Your Body for the Big Day
​
If childbirth is a marathon, I am your coach. I provide specialized expertise to help you prepare your mind and body for delivery:
​
-
Optimal Pushing Techniques: Learn how to push effectively and "the right way" to protect your pelvic floor and move your baby efficiently.
​​
-
Baby Positioning & Midline: During the late second and third trimesters, I use specialized fascial release and manual therapy to help your baby attain midline and position themselves optimally for the birth canal.
​​
-
Improved Pelvic Mobility: We work on the joint movements and soft tissue flexibility necessary to open the birth passage and improve comfort during active labor.
​​
-
Birthing Postures: Receive individualized training on optimal postures tailored to your specific body and goals.
​​
Postpartum Recovery: Reclaiming Your Strength
​
Postpartum care is about more than just a six-week checkup. It’s about getting your body back to physical health and strength where it truly matters.
​
To make your care as stress-free as possible, you can visit my private, quiet home office in Sabattus (no busy waiting rooms or daycare needed—you are the only patient!) or we can connect from the comfort of your living room via virtual telehealth sessions available anywhere in Maine.
