🤔 When Should You Start Seeing a Pelvic Floor PT Postpartum?
Here’s the timeline most people don’t hear but should 👇
💥 First Visit: 2–3 Weeks Postpartum
Yep, that early. This is a check-in focused on healing, breath, and managing symptoms. It is also when we can address the open birthing pattern to close the pelvis and get the pelvic bones back to where they want to be. No internal exam yet.
💥 Second Visit: Around 6 Weeks Postpartum
This is where rehab truly begins. Assessments may include core and pelvic floor function, scar mobility (if applicable), and a gentle return-to-movement plan.
⚠️ Important Reminder
6 weeks is NOT a “green light” for sport. It’s the starting line for guided rehab — not the finish line.
✨ Ideally, you worked with a pelvic floor PT during pregnancy, so you already know what to expect and have a plan for those first postpartum weeks. But if not, it’s never too late to start!
You deserve more than a quick OB clearance and a pat on the back. Real recovery takes time, and you don’t have to do it alone 💛
