Postpartum Physical Therapy & Recovery Support in Los Angeles
No matter how you brought your baby into this world—vaginal birth, cesarean, medicated or unmedicated—your body deserves intentional, comprehensive care as you heal. At Dr. Curls for the Girls, we provide holistic postpartum support in South Bay, combining evidence-based postpartum physical therapy with whole-body coaching to help you restore strength, balance, and confidence after birth.
Postpartum changes are common, but persistent symptoms such as urinary leakage, abdominal weakness, diastasis recti (DRA), pain with intimacy, pelvic pressure, or prolapse are signals—not something you have to accept as your new normal. Holistic postpartum physical therapy supports recovery by addressing how your muscles, connective tissue, nervous system, and daily demands interact during this season of healing.
What Is Postpartum Physical Therapy?
Holistic postpartum physical therapy is a whole-body rehabilitation approach designed to support healing after pregnancy and birth. Rather than focusing on symptoms alone, we assess how your body functions as a system—pelvic floor, abdomen, hips, breathing patterns, posture, and nervous system regulation.
During your evaluation, we take time to understand your birth experience, your current symptoms, and your personal goals for recovery. We assess muscle coordination, soft tissue mobility, abdominal function, and movement strategies to identify what your body truly needs to heal.
Treatment may include hands-on manual therapy to address tissue restrictions, corrective and progressive exercises to rebuild strength, and nervous system reeducation to support coordination and confidence in movement. This holistic postpartum care model allows you to heal at your own pace while rebuilding trust in your body.
Who Benefits From Holistic Postpartum Support
Postpartum physical therapy is beneficial whether you are weeks, months, or even years after birth. Many people searching for holistic postpartum support near me are navigating symptoms that were never fully addressed early on.
This care is especially helpful if you are experiencing:
-
Persistent urinary leakage or bowel changes
-
Diastasis recti (DRA) or abdominal instability
-
Pelvic organ prolapse or feelings of pressure
-
Pain with sex or pelvic discomfort
-
Core weakness or difficulty returning to exercise
-
Lingering pain in the hips, back, or tailbone
Holistic postpartum care also supports emotional recovery by acknowledging the impact birth experiences can have on the nervous system. Healing is not just physical—it’s about feeling safe, supported, and capable in your body again.
Postpartum Support Package
Our Postpartum Support Package is a rehabilitation experience curated to support your healing, rebuild strength, and guide your return to full function. This package is designed for individuals seeking natural postpartum recovery with expert guidance rather than rushed, symptom-based care.
What’s Included:
1 Comprehensive Postpartum Evaluation
A full pelvic, abdominal, and functional assessment to understand how your body has adapted after pregnancy and birth. This session allows us to identify movement patterns, tissue restrictions, and strength deficits while setting realistic, individualized recovery goals.
6 Customized Postpartum Support Sessions
These sessions are delivered throughout your first year postpartum—or within 12 months of your evaluation—allowing flexibility as your body continues to change. Each visit is tailored to your needs and may include manual therapy, progressive strengthening, movement retraining, and education to support daily life, exercise, and long-term pelvic health.
This structure recognizes that postpartum recovery is not linear and benefits from care that adapts alongside your body.
A Gentle, Evidence-Based Approach to Postpartum Healing
Holistic postpartum physical therapy is not about “getting your body back.” It’s about helping your body function with more ease, strength, and confidence as it integrates the demands of motherhood.
By addressing both physical and nervous system components of recovery, this approach supports:
-
Improved pelvic floor coordination
-
Stronger, more responsive core function
-
Reduced pain and discomfort
-
Increased confidence with movement and activity
This model of holistic postpartum support allows healing to happen without pressure, timelines, or unrealistic expectations.
