How Postpartum Pelvic Rehab Works At Up and Running in Fort Collins

Postpartum pelvic rehab is a personalized, whole body approach to healing your core and pelvic floor after pregnancy and birth.

Your First Visit: Your first session includes:

  • A detailed conversation about your symptoms and goals
  • Gentle movement testing
  • A pelvic floor assessment with your consent
  • Internal exams are optional and only performed if helpful and comfortable for you.

It Is More Than Just Kegels
A common misconception is that postpartum recovery is only about doing Kegels.

In reality, some women need to relax and coordinate the pelvic floor before strengthening it.

We focus on:

  • Breathing mechanics
  • Deep core and hip strength
  • C section scar mobility and healing
  • Posture and lifting mechanics
  • Daily habit coaching

Your body works as a system. Your rehab should too.

A Plan Designed For You: Your care plan may include:

  • Hands on therapy
  • Targeted strength and mobility exercises
  • Biofeedback training
  • Core retraining
  • Step by step return to running or return to lifting progressions

The result is less pain, better control, and a confident return to the activities you love in Fort Collins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, it is fixable. Pregnancy and delivery change how your pelvic floor, core, and hips work, which can affect running mechanics and comfort. With targeted pelvic rehab and strength retraining, most runners can return to feeling normal again.

Leaking or pressure is usually a sign your pelvic floor isn’t managing load well. This can come from weakness, poor coordination, or excessive tension after pregnancy. Addressing strength, breathing, and pressure control typically resolves these symptoms.

Start by rebuilding core and pelvic floor control before adding intensity. Progress gradually from low-impact strength work to running, jumping, and heavier lifting based on symptoms. A structured return-to-sport plan helps you train hard again without setbacks.
