How can pelvic floor PT help with birth prep?

A lot has to happen in order to help your body prepare to give birth! 

​Pelvic floor therapists provide hand-on manual treatments, individualized exercises and discuss ​postures and positions that help with improving outcomes and reducing pain with labor and delivery. Birth prep sessions allow us to teach you:
  • Push mechanics
  • Breath mechanics
  • Birth positions to open up the pelvis
  • Perineal massage techniques
  • Mobility exercises to open up the hips and pelvis
  • Techniques on how to relax the pelvic floor
"They listened to my concerns, tried various exercises and positioning to alleviate pain and prepare me for labor and worked with me on key breathing techniques as well as perineal massage leading up to our delivery. They even offered a private session for my husband and I to discuss labor positions and help us prepare for birth. Vivid Health gave me the confidence I needed to achieve my birth plan! With minimal tearing and only 27 minutes of pushing, I had been able to labor down and successfully deliver my baby boy...and I attribute this to the help and care I received from Vivid!"

Our birth prep program is called Bump to Baby. More information can be found below.
