Pregnancy and Postpartum
Physical Therapy in Crofton, MD
Compassionate, personalized care to support your changing body — before and after baby.
Becoming a mom is one of the most powerful things your body will ever do — but that doesn’t mean you should be left to “deal with” pain, leaking, or discomfort.
Pelvic Health in Pregnancy & Postpartum
Isn’t a Luxury It’s Essential
There’s a common misconception that pain, incontinence, or instability are just part of the deal after having a baby. But that’s not true. Your body has been through a transformation. Pregnancy is a marathon, not a sprint. It deserves care that honors that.
Our experienced team of pelvic floor physical therapists will work with you to address the root cause of your discomfort — not just mask symptoms with rest or medication. From prenatal pelvic floor physical therapy to postnatal recovery, we’re here to help you restore strength, function, and confidence without relying on painkillers or surgery.
What We Treat and Support:
• Pelvic pain or pressure during or after pregnancy
• Urinary leakage (with sneezing, coughing, or lifting)
• Pain with intercourse or tampon use
• Diastasis recti (abdominal separation)
• Low back, hip, or tailbone pain
• Difficulty returning to exercise or activity postpartum
• Core and pelvic floor weakness
• Bowel dysfunction (constipation, IBS, leakage of bowels)
• Birth prep and recovery (vaginal or cesarean)
No matter where you are in your journey — trying to conceive, expecting, recently had a baby, or years postpartum — if something feels off, you don’t have to wait to get help.

Common Questions About Pregnancy & Postpartum Physical Therapy
“When should I start pelvic floor therapy during pregnancy?”
Ideally, as early as possible—but it’s never too late. Prenatal pelvic floor physical therapy can help you prepare for your birthing time, reduce pain, and minimize issues like incontinence before they start. It will also teach you the best exercises to support your body during pregnancy, birthing positions when it’s the big day and movements to safely get started on for healing after you have your baby.
“Is it normal to leak when I sneeze or laugh after giving birth?”
Nope, it’s common—but not normal. Leaking is a sign of pelvic floor dysfunction, and we can help address it with personalized treatment. It’s not a mom badge to leak and we have the power to help you eliminate it!
“I had a C-section. Do I still need pelvic floor therapy?”
Absolutely. Even without a vaginal delivery, pregnancy still places stress on your core and pelvic floor. Plus, scar tissue from a C-section can contribute to pelvic pain or tightness. These are all things that are addressed in pelvic floor physical therapy so that you can return to being as active as you would like.
“Is it too late for me to get help?”
Never. Whether you’re 6 weeks or 6 years postpartum, our team at Breakaway PT is here to help you heal, regain strength, and live confidently. The body has an amazing ability to heal even years after an injury or surgery. You just need the right program that is fit for your body so that you can enjoy being active again.
Start Your Recovery With a Free Breakthrough Visit
We know the idea of pelvic floor therapy can feel intimidating — or even a little awkward. It is a very personal therapy where we talk about a lot of bathroom habits, intimacy and other things that you may not typically talk about with your healthcare care team. But we are here to make it as comfortable as possible and you are welcome to share as much or as little as you are ready. Again it’s your body and your healing journey. That’s why we offer a Free Breakthrough Visit at our Crofton, MD location. It’s your chance to speak with a licensed physical therapist, ask your questions, and get clarity on what’s really going on — no pressure, no commitment.
You don’t have to live with the discomfort or dysfunction so many women are told to accept. There is a better way — and it starts with a conversation.
Real Care. Real Relief. Real Confidence.
