Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it’s not always comfortable. From
back pain and pelvic pressure to bladder issues and core instability, expecting moms know these discomforts can take a toll. Fortunately, Pelvic Floor Therapy offers
a natural, non-invasive way to ease discomfort and prepare your body for a smoother
labor and delivery.

Pelvic Floor Therapy focuses on strengthening and relaxing the muscles of the pelvic
floor—the group of muscles that support the bladder, uterus, and bowel. During
pregnancy, hormonal changes and growing baby weight can weaken or strain these
muscles, leading to symptoms like:
● Pelvic pain or pressure
● Low back or hip pain
● Urinary leakage
● Constipation
● Pain during movement or exercise

Your journey starts with a one-on-one assessment by a licensed physical therapist at Elite
Physical Therapy Clinic. From there, a customized treatment plan is developed and may include:
∙ Canalith repositioning maneuvers to help reposition inner ear crystals causing vertigo
∙ Gaze stabilization exercises to improve visual focus during head movements
∙ Balance and gait training to reduce fall risk and improve mobility
∙ Habituation exercises to decrease motion sensitivity

At Elite Physical Therapy, we develop customized therapy plans to
meet each mom’s unique needs. Pelvic Floor Therapy can:
● Improve posture and core stability
● Reduce pressure on the lower back and pelvis
● Enhance muscle coordination for pushing during labor
● Relieve bladder and bowel issues
● Help manage diastasis recti (abdominal separation)

Preparing your pelvic floor muscles before labor helps make delivery more efficient and
may reduce the need for interventions. Key benefits include:
● Better control during pushing
● Reduced risk of tearing
● Faster postpartum recovery
● Improved confidence and body awareness
