A Message From Doctor Sarah, Owner & Founder of Balance Within - Integrative Physical Therapy and Women's Health Expert
- Struggling with pelvic, hip, low back or rib pain during your pregnancy that’s affecting your sleep, mood and ability to function?
- Looking for guidance on safe exercises that you can do throughout your pregnancy to stay active and strong?
- Wanting to prepare your body and mind for birth to make the process as easy as possible but not sure what to do?
- Tired of having your day interrupted by urine leakage?
- Feeling overwhelmed by all the conflicting information out there on the best way to comfortably and safely get through your pregnancy and prepare for the birthing process?
- There’s nothing you can do until after the baby comes out.
- You can’t work your core muscles at all when you’re pregnant.
- Pain and leakage are just part of pregnancy. Deal with it.
- You should never do that exercise when you’re pregnant!
- Do your kegels and you’ll be fine.
- Rest is the best always.
- Gosh that’s all so scary and confusing… and most importantly, NONE of this is true.
The Truth Is...
- There are so MANY things we can do to help you feel better before you get to meet your baby!
- While it’s fairly common, It’s NOT NORMAL to have pain or urine leakage during pregnancy.
- Rest and a heating pad may be helpful in the short-term, but will not help address the reason you have the problem.
- The RIGHT Exercises will help decrease your pain, get your core stronger and prepare you for an easier childbirth.
- Highly specialized and gentle hands-on myofascial release can help align the pelvis, ease pain and help make the birthing process easier for you and baby.
- Physical Therapy is an effective tool for helping to manage these symptoms!
At Balance Within Physical Therapy, We Specialize In Helping Women In Pregnancy and Beyond Feel Strong And Confident In Their Bodies And Get Rid Of Pesky Problems Like Urine Leakage Or Pain, So They Can Be Active And Truly Enjoy Their Lives.
When It Comes To Helping you feel great throughout your Pregnancy...
You must choose the right provider for your health. If you don’t, you could end up feeling miserable throughout one of the most joyful times of your life as well as set yourself up for further issues after your baby is born.
Working with a provider who understands that THE ENTIRE BODY WORKS TOGETHER is vital to your recovery. Each pregnancy is different and going to a provider who specializes in this important work is vital to maximize your care. We are the clinic that other PT’s send their ‘tricky’ patients to due to our advanced and specialty training. We address the pieces that others have missed… this means we help deliver results others can’t.
To ensure a full recovery, we have to not just treat the symptoms. You must have an expert provider who is willing to get to the ROOT CAUSE of your symptoms and dysfunction. That’s when you’ll get a PERMANENT solution to your leakage and pain problems so you can feel great during your pregnancy and after.
At Balance Within – Integrative Physical Therapy we’ve created a 3 step process to get rid of your Pregnancy pain and leakage symptoms AND to make sure you’re set up for an easier birthing process and quicker recovery afterwards.
Step #1 - We Want To Listen To Your Story
Our medical system is frustrating. You wait weeks, sometimes months, for an appointment, only to get to talk to the doctors for 10 minutes before they have to run to the next patient and you’re left sitting there wondering, “What just happened?”
Even most physical therapy clinics operate this way. They’re not attentive, they’re fast-paced, and your therapist doesn’t have time to learn what goals are important to you, or to work with you one-on-one. That’s why we operate so differently!
And that’s why our first step is to listen to your story.
Each pregnancy is different and you are more than just “a pregnant woman.” Each person has a different body, a different history, and different types of pain and symptoms.
That is why our first step is to have an open conversation and time for you to tell your story. That way we get a deep understanding of what’s going on not just with your body, but also how it’s impacting your life.
Step #2 - FIND OUT WHY YOUR SYMPTOMS STARTED
Many people have a diagnosis, or medical term for what’s going on with their body. Maybe their doctor gave it to them, maybe tests showed the diagnosis, or maybe you found it online.
Perhaps you’ve been given the label of pubic symphysis dysfunction, urinary incontinence, coccydynia or maybe all your symptoms have been lumped together as simply “you’re pregnant.”
You could have been told that your only choice was to try a heating pad and to wait it out until after your pregnancy is over..
You do NOT have to wait until your baby is born – relief is available RIGHT NOW, during your pregnancy!
Every person’s cause of pain or symptoms is different. No one has the exact same problem caused by the exact same thing as another person.
Our goal at Balance Within – Integrative Physical Therapy is to find the original (and current) causes of your problem, so not only does your pain go away, it STAYS AWAY!
Step #3 - GET RID OF THE PROBLEM & KEEP IT FROM COMING BACK
This is when the big transformations occur. We develop a personalized plan that allows you to…
…Get back to your active lifestyle and exercising without fear of pain worsening or fear of urine leakage.
…Be able to play with your kids, lift, and carry them with no problems!
…Sleep through the night again without pain waking you up from those precious hours of slumber!
…Know that in taking great care of your body, you’re helping you and your baby prepare for a much easier delivery/welcome party for your little one. 🙂
Our best clients are those who are motivated and ready to win back their active life. (Even if they feel stuck right now!)
Want to know more about our availability and costs before making any commitment to coming in?
You don’t have to sacrifice sleep or the active lifestyle you love over problems that can be healed naturally. We’re here to help!
Sincerely,
Doctor Sarah
