Optimizing Birth with pelvic floor therapy

During your in-person birth prep sessions, you will learn about:

• the stages of labor and what your body does in these stages
• C-section birth and recovery education
• the role of pelvic floor during vaginal childbirth
• breathing mechanics during different stages of labor and push prep
• birthing positions to find the best positions for YOU and your body
• tools and techniques to manage contractions (physical and mental)
• hip mobility patterns and movements to best support your baby and facilitate a smoother birthing experience
• perineal care
• birth plan development
• what to expect in 4th trimester and how to prep

Your Birth Prep Program will include:

• handouts on perineal protection
• birth partner guide
• birth preferences handout
• 4th trimester handout (includes local resources for additional support) 
• virtual support between sessions (in the event your partner cannot attend the in-person sessions and/or questions arise during your practice)
