In-Home Therapy for Pre & Post-Natal Pain

Gentle, evidence-based physical therapy to manage pain during pregnancy and support full recovery after delivery - all in the comfort and privacy of your home.

Pregnancy and Postpartum Pain Explained

Pregnancy places significant demands on the body - shifting posture, loosening ligaments, and adding load to the spine, pelvis, and hips. It is very common to experience lower back pain, pelvic girdle pain, sciatica, hip aching, and round ligament discomfort during pregnancy. After delivery, new challenges arise: healing from birth, core and pelvic floor weakness, abdominal muscle separation, and postural strain from nursing and infant care.

At Focus Rehabilitation, we provide safe, careful therapy tailored to each stage - prenatal and postpartum. Because we come to your home, you do not need to manage a commute while pregnant or arrange infant care for a clinic visit. Your therapist brings expert, compassionate care to you, working alongside your obstetric team throughout your journey.

Our In-Home Pre & Post-Natal Therapy

Your licensed therapist uses gentle manual therapy, pelvic floor rehabilitation, targeted core strengthening, and postural education to relieve pain during pregnancy and restore strength and function after birth. Every session is one-on-one, carefully paced, and adapted as your body changes week by week.

Stage-appropriate assessment

We evaluate your current pain, pelvic floor function, posture, and movement to design a safe, effective plan.

2

Pain relief & manual therapy

Gentle soft-tissue and joint techniques reduce pelvic girdle, back, and hip pain safely during or after pregnancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pre & post-natal therapy questions, answered

Is physical therapy safe during pregnancy?

Yes. Prenatal physical therapy is safe and beneficial throughout most of pregnancy. Your therapist uses gentle, pregnancy-appropriate techniques and coordinates with your obstetric care team to ensure every session is safe for you and your baby.

When can I start physical therapy after giving birth?

With your physician's clearance, gentle therapy can often begin as early as 6 weeks postpartum for vaginal births or 8 weeks following a caesarean section. Your therapist will work within any restrictions your doctor sets.

What is diastasis recti and can physical therapy help?

Diastasis recti is a separation of the abdominal muscles that commonly occurs during pregnancy. Physical therapy can significantly improve function by retraining the deep core muscles that support the midline - often without any surgical intervention.

Is pre and post-natal physical therapy covered by insurance?

Coverage varies by plan. We review your insurance benefits in detail before care begins and will let you know exactly what is covered so you can make an informed decision.
