Postpartum
The postpartum period, often called the fourth trimester, is a time of immense change - physically, emotionally, and hormonally. Whether you had a vaginal or cesarean delivery, your body has been quite the transition. At Envision Pelvic Health & Wellness, we provide one-on-one pelvic floor physical therapy to help you heal, reconnect with your body, and regain strength and comfort.
Pelvic health therapy supports your entire system, not just your pelvic floor. From scar tissue and ab separation to postural pain and bladder or bowel dysfunction, we tailor your care to your personal needs and goals.
And you don’t need to wait. While many providers recommend waiting until the 6-week checkup, gentle pelvic floor therapy can begin within days of delivery to support healing and mobility right away.
It’s never too early, or too late, to care for your body after birth.
Conditions We Commonly Treat Postpartum:
Pelvic pain
Urinary leakage, urgency, or hesitancy
Scar Tissue Sensitivity (from episiotomy, tearing, or surgery)
C-section scar pain, tightness, or adhesions
Diastasis rectus abdominis (ab separation)
Core weakness or difficulty engaging the abdominal muscles
Constipation or bowel straining

The Benefits of Starting Pelvic PT Before 6 Weeks Postpartum
You don’t have to “wait and see.” In the first few days to weeks postpartum, we can begin:
Breathwork and gentle core activation to reconnect with your diaphragm and pelvic floor
Early mobility to reduce stiffness and pain
Scar education for cesarean or perineal healing
Body mechanics coaching for safe feeding, lifting, and sleep setups
Posture and foot alignment training to rebalance your body from the ground up
This is your time to rebuild—and our goal is to help you optimize your maternity leave so you feel stronger and more supported in your day-to-day.
Postpartum Support for Clogged Ducts & Mastitis
Feeding a baby—whether by breast, chest, or pump—can take a physical toll. From clogged milk ducts and painful engorgement to upper body tension and poor latch positioning, these challenges are common—but treatable.
At Envision Pelvic Health & Wellness, our Clogged Duct & Mastitis Support Program offers a gentle, effective approach to relieve discomfort, improve milk flow, and support your body through lactation.
We help with:
Clogged milk ducts
Painful engorgement
Breast or chest swelling
Postural strain from nursing or pumping
Neck, shoulder, and upper back tension
Treatment may include soft tissue techniques, lymphatic drainage, therapeutic ultrasound, kinesiology taping, and movement education to reduce inflammation and promote comfort. We also collaborate closely with lactation consultants to ensure you’re supported from every angle, helping you stay comfortable and confident in your feeding journey.
