What Is Perinatal Physical Therapy & Wellness?

pelvic physical therapy

Perinatal physical therapy is a whole-person approach to reproductive and pelvic health that supports the body before, during, and after pregnancy. Rather than separating fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum into isolated phases, perinatal wellness recognizes how these experiences are deeply connected.

 

This care focuses on how the pelvic floor, core, hips, spine, breathing patterns, and nervous system work together to support:

  • Fertility and cycle regulation

  • Comfort and mobility during pregnancy

  • Birth preparation and recovery

  • Long-term pelvic and core health

 

At Dr. Curls for the Girls, perinatal physical therapy integrates hands-on manual therapy, movement-based care, and education to help your body function more efficiently—not just temporarily feel better. This approach supports both physical healing and body awareness, giving you tools you can carry forward well beyond your sessions.

Whole-Body Support for Fertility, Pregnancy, and Postpartum

Perinatal wellness recognizes that your body deserves support across the entire reproductive timeline.

 

Fertility Physical Therapy & Wellness
Our fertility-focused care supports individuals who want natural, holistic fertility support or preparation alongside assisted reproduction. By improving pelvic mobility, circulation, nervous system regulation, and movement patterns, fertility physical therapy helps prepare your body for conception with intention and care.

 

Prenatal Physical Therapy & Birth Preparation
During pregnancy, perinatal physical therapy helps manage common discomforts such as back pain, pelvic pressure, urinary leakage, and SPD while supporting strength and mobility. Intentional birth preparation sessions help your body prepare for labor, optimize pelvic floor function, and build confidence going into birth—whether vaginal or cesarean.

 

Postpartum Physical Therapy & Recovery
Postpartum care supports healing after birth by addressing symptoms such as diastasis recti, pelvic pain, leakage, prolapse, or discomfort with intimacy. Holistic postpartum physical therapy focuses on restoring coordination, rebuilding strength, and helping you return to daily life and movement with confidence.

Together, these services form a continuum of perinatal physical therapy and wellness, rather than disconnected episodes of care.

A Pelvic Health–Centered, Nervous System–Aware Approach

 

Pelvic health is central to perinatal wellness. The pelvic floor does not function in isolation—it responds to posture, breathing, stress, and life experiences. Our approach to perinatal pelvic physical therapy reflects this complexity.

 

Care may include:

  • Manual therapy to improve tissue mobility and circulation

  • Movement retraining to support strength and coordination

  • Breath work and pressure management strategies

  • Nervous system regulation to support healing and adaptation

  • Education that empowers you to understand your body

 

This integrative model supports not only symptom relief, but also long-term resilience and confidence in your body.
