Women's Health - Preconception, Pregnancy, Birth & Beyond
Get expert pelvic floor therapy to be pain-free and confident through pregnancy, postpartum, and all other transitions of womanhood.
Common, not Normal
Pelvic floor conditions are common in women of all ages, but they are certainly not normal! Pelvic floor dysfunction can cause embarrassment, pain, loss of self-confidence, and relationship difficulties. We help you overcome concerns related to urinary incontinence, prolapse, diastasis recti, chronic pelvic pain, chronic constipation, and inflammatory conditions.
We also provide pre and post-surgical therapy for planned cesarean births, hysterectomy, endometriosis surgery, and other gynecological procedures.
Childbirth Classes and Birth Preparation
At Pelvic Soul, we believe that pregnancy and childbirth should not have a lasting negative impact on our bodies.
- We provide expecting parents with the knowledge and skills they need to have a positive birth experience, no matter how they plan to give birth!
