What Is perinatal physical therapy & wellness?
.png)
Perinatal physical therapy is the work of understanding how your pelvic floor, breath, and nervous system function together and with the rest of your body. It addresses the physical and neurological factors that affect fertility, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery.
When the whole picture is addressed, that's when things actually change.
Whole-body support from fertility to menopause
Perinatal care recognizes that your body deserves support across the entire reproductive timeline, not just at the moments when symptoms become impossible to ignore.
How Dr. Curls for the Girls Approaches Treatment
Every session begins with understanding how your body actually works, not just where it hurts.
Breath + Pressure Work
Master breath control and pressure management to achieve symptom relief and peak physical performance, because breath mechanics directly affect pelvic floor function.
Manual Therapy
Improve tissue mobility, circulation, and soft tissue restrictions that affect how your body moves and functions.
Nervous System Support
Regulate your nervous system to set the best foundation for pain reduction and muscle function. A dysregulated nervous system limits what any other treatment can accomplish.
Movement Retraining
Rebuild strength, coordination, and the movement patterns that support lasting results, not just short-term relief.
Why breath mechanics come first
Most people are surprised that breath mechanics have anything to do with their pelvic floor but they do, directly. The way you inhale, exhale, and hold tension throughout your day affects everything from leaking to labor.
Before anything else, start there. Download the free breathwork guide and see what changes.
