Physical Therapy postpartum

Today I went to a physical therapist through our hospital. I didn’t even think about it until I was talking to my LC a few weeks ago. I decided last week to give it a try because my back and hips were hurting. They weren’t terrible, but it was enough to be uncomfortable while doing things with my baby. This physical therapist specializes in women’s health.

I am SO glad I did. It is amazing just after one appointment how different it feels. She was able to tell that my pelvis was tilted and rotated. She was bringing up things about pregnancy and delivery I didn’t even think about and how it changes our bodies. She worked to move it back into place and helped with stretching. If you have anything like this is your area and can do it, you should! I regret not going during my pregnancy. I just wanted to post in hopes it might help someone else too!
