Pelvic Floor Therapists in Moore County

Mar 25

Ladies, if there is one thing you can do for yourself this year, it's to seek out pelvic floor therapy!! And let's please break the silence around it because postnatal health doesn’t need to be so hush-hush. For those who, like me in the past, may not have been aware, pelvic floor therapy goes far beyond managing incontinence.

I will leave you to the experts, detailed below, to really determine where to start. If you're still hesitant about the idea, you can explore the linked Instagram accounts or contact our local therapists individually to deepen your understanding.

I’ve also learned recently that French mothers often leave the maternity ward with scheduled postnatal pelvic floor therapy sessions, and their government covers up to 20 of those sessions as part of their Social Security benefits. Finally, a government that considers a mother’s well-being. The good news here in the states, through TriCare Select, I was able to find the therapist I wanted and schedule the appointment myself, with only a deductible to pay. It’s a step in the right direction at least…

Okay, time to check out our local (and some virtual) Pelvic Floor Therapists:

Fun Fact: As one of the few OTs in the Maternal Health space, Emily gets to use her knowledge of biomechanics, posture + pelvic floor, functional engagement in daily occupations, and sensory regulation to deliver the most holistic (and super fun) treatment to moms from prenatal to way after postpartum. When she’s not being an OT or chasing a toddler, she’s probably making (but really, eating) a loaf of sourdough.
