Why Postpartum Rehab
The goal is to decrease symptoms that can present after giving birth.
Those symptoms can vary from leaking, urgency, pelvic floor pain/heaviness, low back pain, shoulder tension, headaches, numbness in your hands, tailbone pain etc.
Your rehab exercises are individualized and selected based on the presentation of your symptoms!
This is NOT about building a workout program for you.
It IS about teaching you foundational exercise movements.
Appointment Options:
- Treatment Focused Appointments
This is a 20-minute appointment where the focus is on muscle work, cupping, joint mobilizations and/or adjustments.
Your rehab exercises are then emailed to you through a program called Physitrack. Here, you can log in and view your personalized exercise protocol. There are videos of how to perform each of the exercises.
2. Treatment AND Rehab Appointments
This is a 40-minute appointment. For the first 20 min, we focus on muscle work, cupping, joint mobilizations and/or adjustments.
The second half is spent on in-person rehab exercises. We go over your personalized rehab exercises together and then a summary is emailed to you after your appointment.
3. Rehab Only Appointments
This is a 30-minute appointment where we focus on your individualized postpartum rehab exercises.
No hands-on treatment is rendered during these appointments. The focus is on functional movements and going through a series of exercises together.
4. Virtual Appointments
This is a 30-minute appointment where we focus on your individualized postpartum rehab exercises.
This is done through our booking platform- Jane App. This is a virtual form of postpartum rehab where we go through your postpartum rehab exercises together (in the comfort of your own home).
The goal it to provide various options based on your time available for appointments to reach multiple price points so you are not limited by cost to seek postpartum rehabilitation.
