Postpartum Pelvic Health: Vol. 1.

During pregnancy and delivery, natural changes occur that impact your pelvic floor and abdominal wall. These changes can cause pain and discomfort for many women during pregnancy and/or after delivery. Childbirth takes a toll on our bodies regardless of the method of delivery.

The toll of postural changes and weight gain on the body can lead to conditions such has back pain, abdominal separation (diastasis recti abdominis), urinary urgency and leakage. It is a misconstrued notion that these symptoms are normal because they are common. Common is not the same as normal. Many women need assistance treating these symptoms so they do not deal with life-long consequences. The good news is therapists at Restore Motion are skilled in treating both pre and postpartum symptoms.

Physical therapy can help pregnant women be strong and fit while decreasing complications during delivery and improving the birth experience. Physical Therapy can also assist postpartum women in regaining their pre-pregnancy body.

My therapist is great. She is thorough. She finds the problem areas very easily.

I just wanted to thank you for everything you’ve done for me over the past few months. You were so easy to talk to about something so personal, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to help me through it all.

Jennifer Chrisophel's Pilates techniques have been a godsend for me. As a person with EDS, Dysautonomia and Mitchondrial Disease, I struggle with both chronic pain and energy issues. Because I've already had 3 spina surgeries, having a strong core is vital to keep me from further injury and more importantly, additional surgeries. When I first began working with Jennifer, I was only able to exercise 15-20 minutes at a time. She worked slowly and methodically to build up my tolerance to the exercises while strengthening my core. It took close to a year, but I can now work at my pace for a full hour. Every day is different for the body of a person with EDS. An exercise that works well one week, may cause pain the next. Jennifer is constantly having to adapt exercises for what my body presents with at any given moment.

Miriam, your last treatment did wonders for my shoulder. It had improved with the standard PT, but after seeing you, the relief was exponential, not incremental!! Many thanks! I’m going to my yoga community retreat this week. I’ll be careful. It’s more spiritual than physically demanding, and it’s nice to see the (mostly) ladies. Warm regards, Wilma

Thank you Restore Motion! I was having a difficult time after prostate surgery, not knowing how to recover or how long it would take. After a few sessions my confidence was renewed and after a few weeks I felt like a new man! I am so thankful for your help and guidance through a very difficult time in my life, I would strongly recommend your business to all, thanks again.
