Postpartum Physical Therapy

Helping women rebuild pelvic floor and deep core foundations to optimize postpartum healing while safely returning to activities you love

Motherhood is a sport, let’s train for it

Our babies have a check-in with their pediatrician two days after birth. Why is it that the birthing mother is not checked in on by a medical professional until 6 weeks postpartum? You deserve better! I see women as early as 2 weeks postpartum to gently reconnect with your pelvic floor and deep core foundations for both vaginal and cesarean section births. We determine the activity goals to have to return to postpartum and develop an individualized plan to help you get there.

All appointments are 1:1 with Dr. Kayla. In-person appointments available in West Central Ohio starting in June 2024. Virtual physical therapy appointments also available in the comfort of your own home for Ohio residents. Let’s work together to get to the root cause of your symptoms and help you heal postpartum — without bounce-back culture and with grace-filled guidance from your orthopedic and pelvic health physical therapist.

Common postpartum concerns we treat:

Integrative Dry Needling

For the postpartum mother, Integrative Dry Needling may be used for common pain points that arise following delivery and with prolonged positioning, such as that required during feeding your infant. Dry needling is particularly effective for reducing scar tissue from cesarean section births. This technique helps us target the eight layers of tissue that are cut through during an abdominal delivery.
 
If Integrative Dry Needling is not for you, cupping is another manual therapy technique that Dr. Kayla often utilizes and may recommend.

Dr. Borchers is so professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and kind!​

I started to work with her when I was around seven months postpartum, and in the two months of working together, I truly saw and felt so much change in my core strength and wellbeing. She showed a lot of compassion and care, and when I demonstrated improvement, Dr. Borchers was genuinely excited. She loves what she does and that is to help people live healthier and better lives. I’m thankful to have her as a resource now!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I’m 2 weeks postpartum, is that too early?

Absolutely not! You can be seen as early as 2 weeks postpartum. We will not do any internal pelvic floor assessments. We will begin with light breathing and mobility exercises to reconnect with your pelvic floor and deep core to support your spine and pelvis as you are caring for your child. We will address any aches or pains you are currently experiencing and work to alleviate them within session and with home programming.

I’m 2 or more years postpartum, is that too late?

It is never too late to seek care to support postpartum healing. Once postpartum, always postpartum! We can still address c-section scar tissue, optimize pelvic and rib cage alignment and address strength imbalances to optimally support you and your lifestyle goals no matter where you are in your postpartum journey.

Do I need a referral?

No! A physician referral is not necessary for any of our services. We can schedule an appointment as soon as you are ready. However, I am happy to collaborate with any other healthcare professionals you are working with to ensure the best care possible for you.

Who will I work with?

You will work 1:1 with Dr. Kayla Borchers for the entirety of your appointment. We never double book appointment times, or alternate treatments with a PTA.

Do you accept my insurance?

We are an out of network provider. This means that we do not directly bill or accept insurance. However, we will provide you with a Superbill, which you can submit to your insurance company directly for coverage of some if not all of your PT services, particularly if you have a PPO plan.

How do I file for insurance reimbursement?

You can easily determine your out of network Physical Therapy benefits by calling the phone number on the back of your insurance card. Following each appointment, we will send you a Superbill with all of the information you need to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

Do you accept FSA/HSA?

Yes! Simply input this as your payment method when scheduling your appointment.

Can I bring my child with me?

Children are always welcome during your scheduled appointment time with Dr. Kayla. It is up to you if you would prefer solo treatment time or if it’s best to bring your child(ren) along! I do keep some toys on hand for your little ones, as I know how much I appreciate this as a parent!

Are there additional charges for Integrative Dry Needling?

Nope! All modalities recommended for use within your treatment session are included with fee for service at time of booking. No additional fees are added for treatment options such as Dry Needling.
