3 Ways Pelvic PT Can Help You Prepare for Birth

Pelvic PT plays an important role in birth prep. Often, people tend to think about how pelvic PT can help with postpartum recovery, but we can do a lot to help you during pregnancy and prepare for labor and delivery.

1.) Manage any current aches and pains - Unfortunately it is common to experience low back pain, pelvic pain, tailbone pain, etc during pregnancy. Pelvic PT can help you manage these symptoms and eliminate them as well during your pregnancy, so that you don’t have to just deal with it.

2.) Labor positions - Pelvic PT can help assess you and your body and help come up with some strategies for the best laboring positions for you. So that you have time to practice these positions and feel comfortable in them before labor actually begins.

3.) Pushing prep - Pelvic PT can also help you learn the strategies for proper and effective pushing, once the pushing stage happens. This can help potentially prevent tears during delivery as well as shorten the pushing stage as these strategies help pushing become more effective.

So if you are currently pregnant, pelvic PT is a great way to help you prepare for labor and delivery!
