Postpartum Recovery In Ashburn

A Personalized Approach to Your Postpartum Recovery

Every woman’s postpartum recovery journey is unique, shaped by factors such as delivery method, physical condition, and personal health history. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, our expert therapists conduct a thorough postpartum assessment to create a customized rehabilitation plan tailored to your specific needs.

Our treatment focuses on pelvic floor muscle strength and coordination to restore function, abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti) to improve core stability, postural alignment of the pelvis, hips, and spine for better movement and reduced strain, and scar tissue restrictions and lingering swelling to promote healing and comfort. With this individualized approach, we help you regain strength, mobility, and confidence throughout your postpartum recovery.

What Conditions Can Postpartum Physical Therapy in Ashburn Help?

Many women struggle with lingering postpartum symptoms that can persist for months—or even years—without proper rehabilitation. We treat common post-pregnancy concerns, including:

• Pelvic girdle pain (stiffness, instability, or discomfort)
• Low back & hip pain
• Pelvic floor dysfunction (urinary or fecal incontinence, leakage, or prolapse)
• Coccydynia (tailbone pain)
• Diastasis recti (abdominal separation)
• Perineal & episiotomy scar pain
• Persistent swelling or nerve compression
• Difficulty activating or coordinating pelvic floor muscles

These issues often stem from:

• Hormonal changes impacting tissue elasticity
• Pelvic instability from pregnancy and delivery
• Core muscle imbalances
• Upper back & neck strain from breastfeeding and newborn care
• Improper body mechanics

Many women recover naturally over the first postpartum year, but lingering dysfunction often requires targeted therapy to fully restore function and prevent long-term issues.

What to Expect During a Pelvic Floor Therapy Session

Your first visit includes a 60-minute evaluation, where our specialists assess your symptoms, movement patterns, and recovery goals. Follow-up sessions, lasting 30 to 45 minutes, focus on hands-on therapy, corrective exercises, and functional retraining to restore strength and mobility.

Treatment techniques may include gentle joint mobilization to realign the pelvis and spine, soft tissue massage and trigger point release to relieve tension, and neuromuscular retraining to improve pelvic floor activation and relaxation. We also incorporate guided core and pelvic strengthening exercises, scar tissue mobilization for C-section or perineal scars, and postural education to prevent strain during daily activities like lifting or feeding a baby.

Every session is personalized, respectful, and designed to fit your comfort level. Internal techniques are only incorporated if necessary and always with your full consent, ensuring a safe and supportive healing experience.
