POSTPARTUM PHYSICAL THERAPY IN FREDERICK, MD

Heal Faster, Reconnect With Your Body, and Support Recovery After Birth

Your body undergoes major changes during pregnancy and childbirth, and recovery should be supported by more than just rest. At pelvRX, we provide postpartum physical therapy to help mothers rebuild their strength, improve pelvic floor function, reduce discomfort, and return to daily life and exercise with confidence.

WHAT IS POSTPARTUM PHYSICAL THERAPY?

Postpartum physical therapy is specialized care designed to help your body heal and regain function after childbirth. Whether you delivered vaginally or by C-section, physical therapy can help address core weakness, pelvic floor dysfunction, diastasis recti, back pain, scar tissue restrictions, and difficulty returning to activity.

At pelvRX, our postpartum physical therapist provides one-on-one care tailored to your birth experience, symptoms, recovery timeline, and personal goals.

Conditions We Treat

CORE WEAKNESS & DIASTASIS RECTI

We help restore core strength, improve abdominal coordination, and address diastasis recti so your body can better support movement, posture, and exercise.

PELVIC FLOOR DYSFUNCTION

Postpartum pelvic floor symptoms may include leakage, heaviness, pressure, pain, or difficulty reconnecting with your pelvic floor muscles.

BACK, HIP & PELVIC PAIN

We treat postpartum pain related to pregnancy, delivery, nursing posture, lifting, carrying, and the physical demands of caring for a baby.

C-SECTION RECOVERY

After a cesarean birth, physical therapy can help improve scar mobility, reduce tightness, restore core function, and support more comfortable movement.

EXERCISE REHABILITATION

We provide a space to recondition your muscles safely and progress toward running, lifting, workouts, sports, and the activities you enjoyed before pregnancy.

POSTPARTUM MOBILITY & DAILY FUNCTION

Our physical therapy for postpartum mothers supports the everyday movements that matter most, including lifting, carrying, feeding, walking, climbing stairs, and getting up from the floor.

POSTPARTUM PHYSICAL THERAPY FAQs

WHEN SHOULD I START POSTPARTUM PHYSICAL THERAPY?

A lot of clients begin physical therapy after their initial postpartum medical checkup, but timing depends on their delivery, symptoms, and individual recovery needs.

DO I NEED POSTPARTUM PHYSICAL THERAPY IF I HAD AN UNCOMPLICATED BIRTH?

Many mothers benefit from an evaluation even after an uncomplicated birth because core, pelvic floor, mobility, and strength changes can still affect recovery.

CAN POSTPARTUM PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP WITH DIASTASIS RECTI?

Yes. Physical therapy can help improve abdominal coordination, breathing mechanics, core strength, and movement patterns related to diastasis recti.

CAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP ME RETURN TO RUNNING OR WORKOUTS?

Yes. Your therapist can assess your strength, pelvic floor function, impact tolerance, and movement patterns to help you return to exercise safely.

HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?

Every recovery is different, so your therapist will recommend a plan based on your symptoms, goals, birth experience, and response to care.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

"Absolutely love! 5 months postpartum and I feel so strong and capable of more than what I thought I could be. Dr. Kelly and Dr. Priya provide such a personal experience to your care and have a variety of options for their strength training and pelvic floor and Pilates reformer. All to help you get strong after pregnancy. I didn’t go during my pregnancy, but plan to next time so I can maintain the strength I have gained coming here."

"I love Dr. Kelly! She was very knowledgable and helpful to integrate working out while pregnant. She always listened to my concerns and answered questions when I had them. Her suggestions helped ease pain as well as stay strong before delivery! 10/10 would recommend Pelvic Floor PT with her! Although, I would trust her with other physical issues if they were to arise! You won't be disappointed!"

"Priya and Kelly were wonderful in helping me with my diastasis recti. Thanks to their support, I now have a stronger core and can better engage those muscles to help prevent back pain. They truly listen and are committed to helping you reach your goals."
