Prenatal Physical Therapy & Birth Preparation in Los Angeles

Prenatal physical therapy and coaching is your key to a smoother, more comfortable pregnancy and a safer, more efficient birth. At Dr. Curls for the Girls, we provide holistic pregnancy support in the South Bay, blending evidence-based prenatal physical therapy with intentional birth preparation to support your body through every stage of pregnancy.

Pregnancy places unique physical and neurological demands on your body. Discomforts such as urinary leakage, back or hip pain, pelvic pressure, and symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD) are common—but they are not something you simply have to “push through.” Our holistic prenatal care approach focuses on helping you move better, feel better, and prepare your body for labor with confidence and clarity.

What Is Prenatal Physical Therapy?

Holistic prenatal physical therapy is a whole-body approach to natural pregnancy support that addresses how your muscles, joints, pelvic floor, and nervous system adapt throughout pregnancy. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, we look at how your body functions as a system—supporting comfort now while preparing you for birth and recovery later.

Through targeted manual therapy, we work to reduce muscular tension, improve circulation, and restore mobility to areas that commonly become restricted during pregnancy. Corrective exercises and muscle retraining help your body adapt to postural changes, growing load, and shifting center of gravity. This approach supports decreased pain, improved strength, and better overall function across all trimesters.

Holistic prenatal care also recognizes the role of stress and nervous system regulation in pregnancy. By integrating breath work, movement education, and body awareness, prenatal physical therapy helps your body feel supported rather than overwhelmed—an essential foundation for both pregnancy and birth.

Prenatal Support Package

Our Prenatal Support Package is a comprehensive experience designed to support you through every trimester with intention, education, and expertise.

This package is ideal for those seeking holistic pregnancy wellness and proactive birth preparation rather than reactive care.

What’s Included:

1 In-Depth Prenatal Evaluation
A full-body, pelvic-focused assessment designed to understand your unique pregnancy needs. This session allows us to evaluate posture, mobility, pelvic floor function, breathing mechanics, and movement strategies to create a personalized roadmap for a strong, comfortable pregnancy.

​

4–5 Customized Prenatal Support Sessions
Strategically spaced throughout pregnancy, these sessions focus on optimizing mobility, reducing discomfort, and supporting your body as it adapts to change. Care may include manual therapy, targeted exercises, posture education, and strategies to support pelvic comfort and core coordination.

​

1–2 Dedicated Birth Preparation Sessions
These hands-on, evidence-based sessions focus specifically on holistic birth preparation. We prepare your pelvic floor for labor, explore positions that support efficient pushing and comfort, address cesarean preparation when applicable, and provide practical tools to help you enter birth feeling informed, grounded, and empowered.

How Prenatal Physical Therapy Supports Birth Preparation

Birth preparation is not just about education—it’s about how well your body can respond during labor. Prenatal physical therapy supports natural childbirth preparation by improving pelvic mobility, muscle coordination, and nervous system adaptability.

By preparing the pelvic floor to lengthen and respond efficiently, we aim to reduce unnecessary strain, minimize trauma, and support smoother transitions during labor. Positioning guidance and movement strategies help you work with your body rather than against it, regardless of whether you’re planning a vaginal birth or cesarean delivery.

This approach to holistic birth preparation supports confidence, reduces fear, and equips you with practical tools you can use in real time.
