Becoming a mother is one of the most transformative experiences in a woman’s life—but the physical toll it takes on the body is often overlooked. At Emerge Physical Therapy and Wellness, located in the heart of Lincoln Park, Chicago, we specialize in helping new moms recover safely and effectively through postpartum pelvic floor physical therapy.
Why Postpartum Pelvic Floor Therapy Matters
After pregnancy and childbirth, many women experience pelvic floor dysfunction, including issues like urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, diastasis recti, and core weakness. These symptoms aren’t just common—they’re treatable.
Pelvic floor physical therapy focuses on strengthening and restoring the muscles that support the bladder, uterus, rectum, and core, helping you feel like yourself again.
Common Postpartum Conditions We Treat:
Urinary incontinence (leaking urine with sneezing, coughing, or laughing)
Pelvic organ prolapse
Pain during intercourse
Low back or hip pain
Diastasis recti (abdominal separation)
C-section scar pain or mobility issues
Constipation and bowel dysfunction
What to Expect at Emerge Physical Therapy and Wellness
At our Lincoln Park clinic, every postpartum treatment plan is customized to fit your unique needs. Our women’s health physical therapists use evidence-based techniques including:
Pelvic floor muscle retraining
Manual therapy
Biofeedback
Core stabilization exercises
Breathwork and postural alignment
Education on body mechanics and postpartum recovery
We create a safe, supportive, and empowering environment to guide you through recovery—whether you’re 6 weeks postpartum or 6 years.
When Should You Start Postpartum Physical Therapy?
You can start as early as 6 weeks postpartum, once cleared by your OB-GYN. However, it’s never too late to begin. Many women seek care months or even years later and still see significant improvements.
