The Benefits of Pelvic Floor Therapy for Postpartum Recovery in Rhode Island | SOPTRI pelvic health

Bringing a baby into the world is an incredible experience, but postpartum recovery can present unexpected challenges. Many new moms experience pelvic floor weakness, pain, incontinence, or discomfort, but pelvic floor therapy offers an effective way to heal and regain strength. If you’re in Rhode Island, SOPTRI pelvic health experts provide specialized postpartum pelvic floor therapy to support new mothers through their recovery journey.
Common Postpartum Pelvic Floor Issues
Pregnancy and childbirth place immense strain on the pelvic floor, which can lead to:
- Urinary leakage when coughing, sneezing, or exercising
- Pelvic pain or pressure
- Diastasis recti (abdominal separation)
- Painful intercourse
- Difficulty with bowel movements
If left unaddressed, these symptoms can persist for months—or even years—after delivery. Pelvic floor therapy helps new moms regain control, reduce discomfort, and improve overall well-being.
