Postpartum Physical Therapy in Pasadena, CA
Your Body Did Something Extraordinary. Now Let's Rebuild It.
New moms come to us when leaking, pelvic pressure, low back pain, or core weakness are getting in the way of daily life—or returning to running, lifting, and the activities they love. We assess the whole picture and build a plan that actually moves you forward.
"Just Give It Time" Isn't a Recovery Plan
Waiting doesn't rebuild what changed
Pregnancy and delivery change your body structurally. Pelvic floor function, core coordination, and load tolerance don't automatically return on their own—they need targeted, progressive work.
Generic advice wasn't written for your recovery
"Do kegels and rest" doesn't account for what you were doing before pregnancy, what your delivery looked like, or what returning to running or lifting actually demands of your body.
Pushing through without guidance increases risk
Returning to training before your body is ready—or staying sedentary longer than necessary—both carry real costs. A clear assessment tells you exactly where you are and what's safe right now.
Postpartum PT Built Around Where You Want to Go
We connect your birth history, current function, and movement goals to build a postpartum plan that addresses the root cause—whether that's pelvic floor coordination, core rebuilding, or returning to your sport.
What Brings New Moms to Us
We work with new moms dealing with the physical challenges that show up during pregnancy recovery and make returning to an active life feel harder than it should.
Pelvic pressure, heaviness, or discomfort during movement or daily activity.
Leaking with coughing, sneezing, jumping, or returning to running.
Low back or hip pain that started during pregnancy and hasn't fully resolved.
Core weakness or diastasis recti making it difficult to load and stabilize under movement.
Difficulty returning to running, lifting, or high-impact activity without symptoms. Pelvic floor PT can help address what's underneath.
Pelvic girdle pain, SI joint discomfort, or instability that lingers after delivery.
C-section recovery and scar tissue affecting mobility, strength, or return to activity.
General deconditioning and loss of strength after delivery and early postpartum recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
We know the postpartum season is a lot. Here's what new moms in Pasadena ask us most before getting started.
Most people can begin postpartum PT as early as six weeks after a vaginal delivery or eight weeks after a C-section—but this varies. We'll assess where you are at your first session and build a plan appropriate for your recovery stage, whether you're six weeks postpartum or six months.
Absolutely. You don't need a formal diagnosis to benefit from postpartum PT. Many new moms come in because something feels off—leaking a little, core not engaging like it used to, low back nagging—even when nothing has been flagged as a problem. That's exactly what we're here to assess and address.
We're cash-based by choice so we can focus on your recovery instead of insurance rules. We'll provide documentation you can submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement, but we don't bill insurance directly.
Yes. We know scheduling around a newborn is its own challenge. Bringing your baby to sessions is completely fine—we want access to care to be as easy as possible during this season, not another logistical barrier to work around.
Yes—return to running and return to lifting are two of the most common goals we work toward in postpartum PT. We use progressive loading and, when appropriate, movement screening to make sure your body is actually ready for the demands you're putting on it before we ramp things up.
