Physical Therapy Resources

If you are experiencing urine leakage, weak core strength, back pain, pelvic floor issues, hernias, or have diastasis recti - we HIGHLY recommend seeing a Physical Therapist who specializes in women's health.  It may only take a few appointments to allow them to assess you and give recommendations based on your symptoms, and most insurances will cover these appointments (check your insurance of course).  We have several women in our classes who have gone to PT (including us) for various reasons and many will tell you it was well worth the time to get the education and guidance from a specialized expert.

Chiropractor

Chiropractic care is a holistic approach to healing and injury prevention. There are so many benefits in seeing a chiropractor on a regular basis.

Chiropractic is often used by pregnant women to improve pain symptoms caused by changing biomechanics and hormones but research shows that regular chiropractic care also decreases pain during labor and decreases total labor time! Make sure your chiropractor is comfortable working on pregnant women and certified in Webster Technique. You can find a provider at this website: www.icpa4kids.org
​
There are a TON of excellent chiropractors in the Fox Valley area.   If you are looking for one to go to during your pregnancy, make sure to ask if your chiropractor will use the Webster Technique.
