Obstetric Physical Therapy in Bend, Oregon

Our therapists know how unique and challenging the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum process can be from personal experience and additional postdoctoral education and certifications. They will meet you with empathy and evidence-based care to help you scale your CrossFit and running workouts, treat urinary leakage, manage the discomforts of being pregnant, prepare for labor and birth for your specific bodily needs, and help you prepare for and treat you through your postpartum journey. We even offer “prehab” for pregnancy to get you as strong as possible in preparation for the changes that occur during pregnancy. We love the doula, midwife, and OB/GYN community and work closely with them throughout your pregnancy.

    Physical therapy is just one part of your journey towards health and wellness. Active and regular physical therapy will help you maintain or regain control and strength, while diminish your pain. Once you achieve these things, your physical therapist will set you up with a plan for less frequent follow-up visits and self-management to maintain your progress so your injury does not reoccur.
