Pelvic Floor Issues Can Be Addressed During Pregnancy
Many women are told that they can't address their back pain, hip pain, or bladder leakage while they are still pregnant.
​
However, this advice simply isn't true, and the research shows that addressing symptoms during pregnancy is not only possible, but can also improve labor outcomes and postpartum recovery.
Improve Pain and Leakage
During pregnancy, "just doing kegels" isn't the answer. Your pelvic floor needs to be assessed to see if there is tension, which could be made worse by kegels. Additionally, there are many other contributing factors that could be causing pain or leakage, which also need to be addressed with a comprehensive physical therapy program.
​
By attending an in person evaluation with Dr. Melissa, you will be able to receive a much more holistic approach to improving pain and leakage with the latest evidence.
