Pelvic floor PT should be a part of your perinatal care, period. If a doctor tells you that you have to wait until after you have the baby, they are wrong. If there was any other major medical event in your body that caused a massive structural change, you can get prehab for it in PT. If there was any major structural change in your body, period, you would get PT for it. Going through pregnancy is a significant structural change to the body that affects the low back, ribcage, abdomen, and pelvis. We should be learning ways to navigate this change, and pelvic floor PT specializes in treating exactly this. I recently posted a video on my page titled, “What to say if your doctor says you can’t have pelvic floor PT till after baby,” and in the caption I list off all the things that you can say to that. Sometimes we have to advocate for ourselves because the practicing clinician doesn’t know much about another specialty, and that’s ok. The more we advocate for ourselves, the more we help future women going through pregnancy. So yes, you can get pelvic floor PT, and if you’re dealing with incontinence, low back pain, pelvic pain, or preparing for a c-section, you should be coming to see us. #pelvicfloor#pregnancytips
