Return to fitness postpartum with fitness foward Physical therapy

Welcoming a new baby into the world is an incredible journey - but for many women, returning to fitness postpartum can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re an avid runner, passionate CrossFitter, or simply want to get back to daily activities with confidence, your pelvic floor plays a central role in your recovery.

At Loon state physical therapy we specialize in pelvic floor postpartum management helping women safely and confidently return to movement - without pain, leaking, or limitations.

Why the Pelvic Floor Matters After Birth

Pregnancy and childbirth place a tremendous amount of stress on the pelvic floor. These deep core muscles support the bladder, uterus, and bowel, and they’re key to maintaining core stability and continence.

Common postpartum symptoms we help address include:

  • Urinary incontinence (leaking with sneezing, jumping, or lifting)

  • Pelvic organ prolapse

  • Pelvic pain

  • Diastasis recti (abdominal separation)

  • Back pain

  • C-section recovery

Even if your delivery was uncomplicated, it’s normal to experience changes - and it’s absolutely possible to feel strong, supported, and fit again.
