Are you pregnant and worried about the discomforts that come with childbirth? Are you looking for ways to prepare your body for the birthing process and make it as smooth as possible? Look no further!
We understand the importance of preparing for birth. Whether you’re a first-time mom or have gone through childbirth before, it’s essential to prioritize your physical health during pregnancy and beyond. That’s why we offer a range of birth preparation services to help you feel confident and strong throughout your pregnancy journey.
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy: Your Key to a Healthy Pregnancy
When it comes to pregnancy, your pelvic floor muscles play a crucial role in supporting your growing baby and ensuring a smooth birth process. These muscles help control bladder and bowel function, as well as sexual sensation. But pregnancy can take a toll on the pelvic floor, leading to issues like urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and even prolapse.
That’s where our physical therapy clinic comes in. By working with a qualified therapist, you can learn exercises and techniques to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles and prevent common pregnancy-related issues. Additionally, pelvic floor physical therapy can help prepare your body for labor and delivery, making the process smoother and more comfortable.
Birth Preparation Services: What We Offer
At our practice, we offer a range of birth preparation services designed to help you feel confident and empowered throughout your pregnancy journey. Here are just a few of the services we offer:
1. Pelvic Floor Assessments
We start each birth preparation journey with a comprehensive pelvic floor assessment. During this assessment, we’ll evaluate your pelvic floor muscle strength and identify any potential issues that may impact your pregnancy or birth process. Based on this assessment, we’ll create a personalized pelvic floor exercise program designed to meet your unique needs.
2. Labor and Delivery Preparation
Preparing for labor and delivery can feel overwhelming, but our team is here to help. We offer a variety of services to help you feel ready for the big day, including breathing techniques, labor positions, and pain management strategies. Additionally, we can provide guidance on the use of birthing tools like birthing balls and TENS units.
3. Postpartum Care
The postpartum period can be a challenging time for many women, but our team is here to support you. We offer postpartum pelvic floor assessments to ensure your pelvic floor muscles are healing correctly, as well as exercises and techniques to aid in the recovery process. We also offer breastfeeding support and guidance on postpartum self-care.
4. Yoga for Birth Preparation
We offer yoga classes specifically designed for birth preparation. These classes focus on gentle, restorative poses that can help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and prepare the body for labor and delivery. Additionally, our yoga classes offer a calming, supportive environment to help you relax and connect with your body during pregnancy.

The Movement Clinic is the absolute BEST PT CLINIC EVER!! Nishal and Aric have gone above and beyond aiding in my shoulder recovery. I have gone to many PT clinics before and none of them come close to The Movement Clinic! As a high level athlete, I needed more drive and push in my recovery and I have found that in The Movement Clinic. Nishal doesn’t just focus on the injury recovery; he also focuses on the movement, the control, and the strength and conditioning. Before finding The Movement Clinic I used to dread going to PT and now I enjoy and actually look forward to my PT sessions. If you are an athlete, this is the PT clinic for you!! They are driven to not only get you back to where you were before but to be better than ever!! Nishal has built a fantastic clinic and I will forever recommend every athlete to go to him and his clinic for PT!!

Nishal is both an excellent therapist and a great person. In a short amount of time, he was able to create and teach me a workout plan that addressed the underlying issues of my pain. Furthermore, Nishal patiently answered my many questions and concerns. If you’re looking for a therapist to motivate and guide you through your recovery, The Movement Clinic is the place to go.
