Yes! The first three trimesters were all about baby — now it’s time for you.

Postpartum pelvic floor physical therapy helps your body heal, rebuild strength, and restore balance after delivery. Whether you had a vaginal birth or a C-section, working with a certified pelvic floor physical therapist in New Jersey can help you recover safely and comfortably from the physical changes of pregnancy and childbirth.

Here’s how postpartum pelvic floor therapy can help:

• Heal from episiotomies, tearing, C-sections, or diastasis recti (abdominal separation)

• Get properly assessed for pelvic organ prolapse and learn strategies to manage or resolve symptoms

• Discuss sensitive topics in the privacy and comfort of your own home

• Eliminate the stress of commuting or finding childcare to make appointments

• Schedule sessions around nap times, pumping, or feeding

• Receive personalized treatment plans tailored to your space, equipment, lifestyle, and goals
  

Pregnancy changes your entire body — and every delivery is unique. That’s why Back To Me Physical Therapy takes a personalized, whole-body approach to postpartum healing. We offer in-home pelvic floor therapy across Somerset, Morristown, and greater New Jersey, helping new moms recover at their own pace, in their own space.

Yes, absolutely! Children are always welcome during your pelvic floor physical therapy sessions. Many new moms feel more comfortable having their baby or little ones nearby and that’s perfectly okay and we offer a pack & play to make your experience as stress-free as possible for little ones.

In fact, I often include baby in certain aspects of treatment such as body mechanics, posture assessment, and functional movement exercises. This helps you learn safe and effective ways to lift, carry, and care for your child while protecting your body during recovery.

No, you do not need a prescription to begin pelvic floor physical therapy in New Jersey. New Jersey is a direct access state, which means you can schedule an appointment with a licensed physical therapist without a referral or prescription from your physician, midwife, or other healthcare provider.

This allows you to start your care sooner and begin addressing symptoms such as pelvic pain, incontinence, or postpartum recovery without delay.

It’s always best to keep all your healthcare providers informed about your care. While you do not need a prescription to begin pelvic floor physical therapy in New Jersey, there are a few cases where medical clearance is recommended.

If you recently gave birth or are in your first trimester of pregnancy, you should receive clearance from your OB-GYN or midwife before beginning any internal pelvic floor assessment or treatment. This ensures that your body is ready for therapy and that your care plan is safe and effective.
