Pregnancy is a transformative journey—and your body goes through a lot along the way. From postural changes and increased pressure on your pelvic floor to hormonal shifts and ligament stretching, it’s no surprise that many women experience pain and discomfort both during and after pregnancy.
At PREP Performance Center in Chicago and Niles, we specialize in prenatal and postnatal physical therapy that helps support your body through every stage of motherhood.
Our prenatal and postpartum pain relief treatments are designed to help you address these challenges and restore strength and function safely.
During pregnancy, the pelvic floor carries a greater load. After birth, this group of muscles often needs support to recover fully. At PREP, we offer pelvic floor therapy to help improve bladder control, reduce discomfort, and rebuild core stability. This therapy is safe, effective, and tailored to your body’s unique needs.
If you’ve had a C-section or episiotomy, you may be experiencing tightness or pain due to scar tissue. These procedures can create restrictions in the myofascial system, impacting movement and comfort.
Our therapists use manual therapy and scar-release techniques to gently break up restrictions and improve tissue mobility.
Some women develop diastasis recti, a condition where the abdominal muscles separate during pregnancy. This can lead to core instability and a “pooch” in the belly postpartum.
At PREP, our team uses evidence-based physical therapy techniques to help close the gap, restore function, and rebuild abdominal strength safely.
You don’t have to live with discomfort. At PREP Performance Center, our prenatal and postpartum physical therapy programs are designed to meet you exactly where you are in your motherhood journey.
Whether you’re in your first trimester or a few months postpartum, it’s never too early—or too late—to get the support your body deserves.
