Complimentary Consultations are available!

We help to resolve those symptoms that everyone tells you are “normal” during pregnancy and postpartum.

Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Pelvic Health Physical Therapy

Being pregnant or postpartum are both magical times in your life, but sometimes, they are also uncomfortable, exhausting, world-rocking or even downright painful. Have you been told “oh- just wait, it gets worse”, or “what do you expect, that’s normal!” When talking about symptoms such as:

  • Leaking with sneezing, laughing, coughing, jumping, running, or even just standing up
  • “Mommy Tummy” or Diastasis Recti
  • Pain across your growing bump
  • Low back or Pelvic Pain
  • Pain during intimacy after that 6-week appointment
  • Feeling weak and unsupported in your back/core
Though these symptoms are common, they are by no means “normal”. In fact, these symptoms are treatable!

Expecting Well Physical Therapy offers One-on-One treatment by Dr. Alyssa Kievit, a Doctor of Physical Therapy with specialized training in Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Pelvic Floor impairments. Whether you are hoping to get rid of one (or more) of the symptoms above, or need help with something that wasn’t listed, you will be given undivided attention (no aides or ancillary staff!) so that you get better quicker.

We will work together to discover the cause of your symptoms and utilize hands-on manual therapy, functional movement, targeted strengthening, and corrective exercise to yield lasting relief.
