Recently I had the pleasure of joining Dr. John Johnson’s BioHealth Podcast. He’s a dentist here in Columbus, Ohio with a very holistic approach to care. As medical practitioners we are aligned with a whole-person approach to treatment and had a fantastic conversation outlining how physical therapy can benefit women preconception, during pregnancy and beyond. This episode is for you if you are considering having children within the next year, are currently pregnant and/or are postpartum. Truly, at any point along your perinatal journey! 

On the episode, we chat about:

  • Preconception physical therapy and holistic wellness
  • Movement foundation preconception
  • Physical therapy evaluation and treatment for the new mom
  • How to stay active during pregnancy
  • Preparing the pelvis for birth
  • Benefits of staying active during pregnancy
  • How to reduce risk of birth trauma (for baby and mom)
  • When to have physical therapy postpartum
  • Frequency and duration of physical therapy beyond birth

Let me know when you tune in to Physical Therapy for Pregnant Moms on the BioHealth Podcast! I’d love to hear what snippets stood out the most to you. Feel free to comment below to let me know your thoughts!
