Prenatal + Postpartum Care
Support for pregnancy, birth, recovery, and your return to the things you love.
Support through every stage.
Pregnancy and postpartum bring significant changes to your body — and you don’t have to navigate them alone. Physical therapy can help you prepare for birth, stay active and comfortable during pregnancy, recover after delivery, and return to the activities that matter to you.
Whether you’re managing pain or other symptoms, preparing for delivery, recovering from a C-section or vaginal birth, or simply looking for guidance as your body changes, care is tailored to you, your body, and your goals.
Care for pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
Your body changes throughout pregnancy and recovery. Whether you’re managing symptoms, preparing for delivery, or working toward feeling strong and confident again postpartum, care is tailored to where you are and what you want to get back to.

Your needs can look different throughout pregnancy, after delivery, and as you return to everyday activity and exercise. Treatment evolves with you, with care designed around your symptoms, goals, stage of pregnancy or recovery, and the type of birth you’re preparing for or recovering from.
Care that changes with you.
Hands-on treatment, movement, positioning, and individualized exercises can help you stay comfortable, mobile, and active throughout pregnancy and recovery.
Move + Feel Better
Learn breathing, pelvic floor coordination, labor positions, pushing strategies, and practical tools to help you feel more prepared for delivery.
Prepare for Birth
After birth, treatment can help restore core and pelvic floor function, address pain or symptoms, support scar recovery, and gradually build strength for the activities you want to return to.

Look at how your body is adapting
Your therapist may assess movement, strength, mobility, breathing, core and pelvic floor coordination, and other areas based on your individual needs and comfort.
02
Create a plan for what comes next
You’ll leave with an individualized plan designed for your stage of pregnancy or recovery — whether that means managing symptoms, preparing for birth, rebuilding strength, or returning to exercise.

What our patients are saying
“Dr. Angela Houser helped me through my pregnancy challenges and postpartum recovery. The pain in my hips and ribs was something I did not anticipate, but she had a plan for it all. The relief I experienced with physical therapy was such a blessing.”
“Following a very complex and traumatic birth of my daughter, I needed a lot of specialized pelvic floor treatment and am so thankful I found Kirsten and Vitality! The entire Vitality team provides such compassionate and personalized care for women’s health.”
“As a mom with two young kids, it can be challenging to carve out time for yourself if it doesn’t seem ‘urgent.’ But trust me, it is so worth it. I am so much more aware of my body and am taking care of myself much more since going to Vitality!”
