Prenatal & Postpartum Health & Fitness
Every women who has had a child is considered "postpartum" because of the changes that occur in her body during pregnancy and after birth. These changes can also affect her into her senior years! Hormonal and physical changes occur in a woman's body throughout her natural cycles of life and these changes will also affect her pelvic floor as well as the rest of her body. Therefore, it is essential for women to take care of their symptoms early on, to prevent them from progressing and to prevent injury or further dysfunction. Pelvic Health & Fitness specializes in working with women during pregnancy and postpartum but also includes pelvic floor health therapy throughout the lifespan.
When it comes to fitness, optimal strength begins with the core and the pelvic floor. As an occupational therapist with my background in women's health and personal training, I combine these disciplines together to design fitness programs tailored to a woman's specific goals.
What are "occupations" and what is occupational therapy?
"Occupations" refers to daily routines, hobbies and skills that gives a person purpose, meaning, pleasure and independence. Socialization, driving, playing with or caring for kids, sexual function, engaging in hobbies, exercising or dining with friends, are all examples of occupations. Occupations also include activities of daily living (ADL's), such as, dressing, toileting, mobility and household chores. One's occupations can be interrupted with hormonal changes, surgery, pain, injury, weakness or muscular imbalances. Occupational therapy uses a holistic approach to get to the root of the problem that interferes with one's daily occupations so you can restore your body and regain quality of life.
