Prenatal Physical Therapy: Embrace Your Pregnancy with Confidence
Pregnancy is a time of joy and anticipation, but it can also bring discomfort like back pain, pelvic pain, and muscle spasms. Our prenatal physical therapy program in NYC is designed to alleviate these common pregnancy symptoms, helping you stay comfortable and physically active. Our experienced prenatal physical therapists focus on:
Strengthening Pelvic Floor Muscles: Essential for supporting increased weight and preparing for childbirth.

Improving Muscle Tone and Strength: Tailored exercises to maintain your physical health and prepare for giving birth.

The journey doesn’t end at childbirth. The postpartum period, or the ‘fourth trimester,’ is crucial for your body’s recovery. Our postpartum physical therapy services in NYC are here to assist you in:
Rebuilding Core Strength: Focusing on abdominal muscles and pelvic floor recovery is especially important after a vaginal delivery or cesarean section.
Alleviating Postpartum Discomforts: Addressing issues like diastasis recti, pelvic floor weakness, and muscle spasms.
