Hi Everyone!
I am thrilled to be a new member of this amazing Bear Canyon Physical Therapy Team, and I am excited to share that I will be spearheading a Women’s Health Program.
I just had my first child about 4 months ago and he is an absolute joy to my husband and me. Going through pregnancy and postpartum is not an easy feat, and I have such a greater appreciation for what the female body goes through – it is truly miraculous. However, it can come with a number challenges: low back pain that worsens as your belly grows and then creeps up between your shoulders as you repeatedly lift and carry your newborn, that postpartum belly that feels like a weak deflated balloon and that large gap between your abs (called diastasis recti), pain in your pelvic region from delivery (whether it was a vaginal or cesarean), embarrassing urine leakage from the added pressure of your growing baby or from tearing during delivery, the list goes on… The good news? These are all treatable conditions! I would love to meet you new moms, pregnant or postpartum, and help you find pain relief and feel comfortable and confident in your own body again. Feel free to bring your little one in to our sessions – trust me I understand there are times when you can’t find a babysitter, don’t want to leave your baby, or are just at their mercy as they demand eating every hour or two.
These examples center around pregnancy, but other issues can also arise at any stage in life for a woman. I will provide a comprehensive evaluation and create a plan of action to address whatever physical limitations you are facing.
Check back to our website periodically for updates and an informational handout. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected] with any questions!
