You may have heard from providers or on social media that pelvic floor symptoms like leakage and pain are seen so commonly during pregnancy or after baby and to "just do your kegels". Or maybe you're hearing that there's no point in starting pelvic therapy DURING the pregnancy.
​
However, this advice is simply outdated. You CAN heal pelvic floor issues while pregnant, and you CAN improve labor and birth outcomes with pelvic therapy during the pregnancy.
​
By attending an in person evaluation with Dr. Melissa, you will be able to receive a much more holistic approach to achieving the birth you want with the latest evidence.
