Pregnancy and childbirth create significant changes in the body. Pelvic physical therapy helps you move safely, reduce discomfort, and prepare for delivery — while supporting long-term recovery after birth.

We help manage:
-
Pelvic girdle pain

Treatment may include safe prenatal exercise, pelvic floor training, manual therapy, mobility work, and education on body mechanics for each trimester.
Our goal is to help you stay active, comfortable, and prepared for childbirth.
Postpartum Physical Therapy
After delivery, your body needs guided recovery. Postpartum physical therapy focuses on healing, rebuilding strength, and restoring pelvic floor function.
We treat:

Your first visit includes a comprehensive evaluation of your core, hips, lower back, and pelvic floor (internal assessment only if appropriate and with consent). From there, we create a personalized recovery plan tailored to your goals.
One-on-One Pelvic Physical Therapy
At Cray Physical Therapy, every session is one-on-one with a licensed pelvic physical therapist in a private treatment space. We work closely with OB/GYNs and other providers to ensure coordinated care throughout your perinatal journey.
Whether you are preparing for birth or recovering after delivery, pelvic physical therapy can help you feel stronger, more stable, and more confident.

Physical therapy can help improve muscle strength, flexibility, and endurance, which, in turn, can help reduce pain and discomfort. Additionally, it can help improve posture, which is essential during pregnancy and postpartum recovery. Furthermore, physical therapy can help reduce muscle tension and improve circulation, which can help speed up the healing process and reduce inflammation.
Physical therapy can provide physical and psychological benefits. Patients may experience improved mood and reduced stress levels. Additionally, physical therapy can help patients better understand their bodies and how to care for themselves during and after pregnancy.
