Joy Noble • February 4, 2025

When a patient comes into pelvic floor therapy proactively (i.e. without any symptoms) we have plenty of things to assess & teach to set them up for success.



  • The current state of the pelvic floor - Is it tight? Weak? Coordinated? Does it need some help?
  • Navigating continued exercise and movement throughout pregnancy and how to modify when things become too difficult or aren’t feeling as easy as baby grows.
  • Labor & delivery prep for helping to prevent stalls and know ways to move during delivery with or without medication. 
  • Perineal massage to help reduce tearing during pregnancy.
  • The knowledge of what was going on in the body before delivery as compared to after delivery to minimize the common question we hear of “was it like this before my delivery?”
  • And a feeling of coming back home to share your birth story in a familiar and welcoming space. 


If you didn’t get to pelvic therapy before delivery and are just now finding us, don’t worry! You are still welcome here!! If you have not delivered yet or aren’t even to the phase of trying to conceive but these methods intrigue you, give us a call!
