Why choose physical therapy for pregnancy and postpartum?

Pregnancy and birth put intense pressure on your pelvic floor, core, and joints — and yet most women are told to “wait and see” or “just rest.”

At UpLift, we believe you deserve better. Our San Antonio physical therapy for pregnancy and postpartum clients want more than passive recovery – they want proactive support, real relief, and long-term strength.

Whether you’re managing pain, preventing prolapse, or preparing for delivery, we’re here with targeted solutions, not vague advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I start postpartum physical therapy?

As early as 3/4 weeks postpartum is ideal, but it’s never too late. We treat moms months or even years after birth.

Am I able to come to my therapy appointment if I’m on my period?

YES! There are plenty of effective things we can still do during your session that do not involve internal pelvic floor work if you do not want internal work while on your period. However, our therapists are professional & comfortable with performing the internal PF work while menstruation is occurring if warranted.

What if I don’t want internal work?

No problem. We offer effective external approaches to pelvic floor therapy, especially for women searching for pregnancy physical therapy.

What does the internal pelvic floor work involve?

After a thorough explanation & getting your consent, the exam/treatment can be completed either vaginally or rectally. Our goals with either are to assess for muscle tension, coordination/function, and any asymmetries. This is not your typical GYNO exam! We don’t use a speculum or stirrups. It involves the use of 1 gloved, lubricated finger(s) that aims to be non-painful as we talk you through the entirety of what we are doing & more importantly, get your feedback on how it is feeling! Your perception of the feeling of pressure on the muscle(s) gives us information about where the issue may be coming from (nerves, muscle, other soft tissues, etc).

Can I do physical therapy during pregnancy

Absolutely. Pelvic floor physical therapy during pregnancy can prevent pain, teach you how to push effectively, and support your delivery.

Do you provide dry needling?

Yes! We provide dry needling when appropriate for you. At no additional cost! 

How do I book an appointment?

Do you have early morning and evening appointments available?

Yes! We are open as early at 7am and as late as 7 pm!

Do I need a referral to be seen?

NO! Texas is now a limited direct-access state for physical therapy. This means you no longer need a referral to get started with pelvic floor therapy! This saves you valuable time and money, as well as avoids unnecessary diagnostic testing and medications. The sooner you receive treatment for an injury or dysfunction, the faster you will get well! After we complete your initial evaluation, we will handle requesting a referral from your provider if you need one.

How many visits will it take?

This will vary greatly from person to person, depending on what you’re being treated for, how long you’ve been dealing with the issue, what your specific goals are, as well as other factors that will play a role in your recovery. We ask that, at minimum, you plan for a comprehensive evaluation followed by at least a couple of follow-up sessions. However, for more complex issues or more challenging goals, you will likely benefit from more sessions with your therapist to ensure full resolution of symptoms for both the short and long term. Your therapist will be able to give you a more personalized idea at your evaluation.

What can I expect at a typical appointment?

Every appointment will be 100% one-on-one with your therapist. You can expect to spend approximately an hour at each of your appointments. Each session may include a combination of assessment, manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular re-education, and patient education on how to supplement treatment while at home.

What if I had a C-section?

We provide postpartum physical therapy for C-section recovery, including scar tissue work, core retraining, and help with pressure or leaking.

I’m not an athlete; can you still help me?

100% we can help you. We work with people of all activity levels and ages. We believe that everyone can benefit from movement.

Yes! We provide dry needling when appropriate for you. At no additional cost!
