Pregnancy & Postpartum: Supporting Your Journey Through Motherhood
Pregnancy and postpartum bring unique physical challenges that require specialized care. From addressing fertility challenges and pre-conception planning to managing pelvic girdle pain, sciatica, or pubic symphysis dysfunction during pregnancy, our therapies provide relief and preparation for labor—whether at home or in the hospital.
Postpartum care includes recovery from C-section or perineal scars, nerve injuries, diastasis recti, and pelvic organ prolapse, as well as guidance on safely returning to fitness and intimacy.
With personalized care, we help mothers navigate this transformative period with strength, confidence, and support.
If you answer yes to any of these questions.
- Feeling self-conscious, frustrated, or discouraged since becoming a mother, believing that regaining control of your body is impossible?
- Are you struggling to keep up with your children and feeling like you're missing out on life?
- Is your confidence affected because your core isn't functioning properly, you have Diastasis Recti, or you still have a pregnant appearance despite not being pregnant anymore?
- Are you frustrated with previous approaches that haven't worked, even if they were from another physical therapist, or are you unsure what to try next?
- Are you searching for a long-term, natural solution that will permanently resolve these issues without relying on medications or undergoing surgery?
- Being told that it's "normal" to experience pain or abdominal separation after giving birth and that "everyone leaks" or struggles?
Tired of painful sex, chronic low back pain, or a persistent mommy tummy? Zenox PT & Wellness is your solution to reclaiming the activities you cherish, no matter how long it's been! The best part? You can do this without pills, pads, or surgery. Discover a life of comfort and joy with our specialized services.


How the Pregnancy and Postpartum Works.
Pregnancy is a remarkable and transformative journey for a woman. Yet, it can present difficulties in maintaining self-care. Pelvic floor disorders, often encountered during pregnancy, can be rectified with little effort. Addressing these concerns early can prevent long-term discomfort and incontinence.
These issues are not limited to women who have vaginal births. Pregnancy hormones may loosen the body’s ligaments, increasing the risk of pelvic rotations even after a cesarean section. Additionally, scar tissue from the c-section may impede the pelvic floor muscles’ ability to relax or contract, leading to discomfort and incontinence. Zenox Physical Therapy & Wellness conducts a thorough assessment of abdominal muscle function, overall posture, scar tissue mobility, and pelvic floor muscle function. Identifying the root cause allows for the creation of a tailored treatment plan aimed at restoring the quality of life you seek.
- Zenox PT & Wellness recognizes the unnecessary frustration and pain that many postpartum women experience due to misleading advice, misconceptions, and limited treatment options. We are committed to clarifying the facts.
- Don't settle for ongoing problems after a few days, weeks, months, or even years, despite being told to rest for six weeks. We can help you find a better solution.
- Watching generic workout videos on YouTube may seem promising for getting back in shape quickly, but they often lead to discomfort, leaks, and a sense of misery and demoralization. Our approach is different.
- Don't accept that pain or abdominal separation after childbirth is just "natural" or that leaking or bladder control issues are inevitable with age. We believe there's more to your story.
- Simply relying on pain relievers won't address the root causes of your issues or provide long-lasting relief. We offer a comprehensive approach.
- It's not a choice between medicine, surgery, or simply "dealing with it." There are effective alternatives that can make a significant difference in your life.
The Truth Is...
- Resting alone won't solve the underlying issues. You may find temporary relief, but once you resume your normal activities, pelvic discomfort, leaking, and other postpartum symptoms will likely persist (as you may have already experienced).
- Although it's common, experiencing prolonged pain or urine leaks after pregnancy or as you age is not a standard or inevitable part of life.
- Relying solely on pain relievers is not a sustainable solution. They can be addictive, pose risks, and contribute to other health problems.
- Don't be misled into thinking that medicine, surgery, and injections are your only treatment options. These are the options your doctor may have presented to you, but alternative approaches are available.
- Embark on a journey to uncover new opportunities and find holistic solutions that tackle the fundamental issues you face. Zenox PT & Wellness offers a range of alternative therapies and tailored care that can significantly enhance your well-being. Leave behind the constraints of limited choices and welcome a journey to enduring comfort and an enriched quality of life.

Real Stories from Our Patients to

Working with Dr E was an incredible experience! I encountered her during physical therapy for my tail bone pain, and through diligent work and discussions, we pinpointed the source and cause of my discomfort. Her exceptional support and empathy stood out, as she attentively listened to the challenges I faced, ensuring I never felt uneasy about asking questions or expressing my feelings and progress. I have recommended, and will persist in recommending, her to anyone in need of pelvic floor therapy.
Discovering Dr E has been a blessing from God. Her reputation is well-deserved, as I've learned firsthand. Battling PCOS while trying to conceive has been challenging, but Dr E's care from the first consultation made me feel understood and at ease. Her home visits add to the comfort, fostering an environment where I can be candid and trust that she prioritizes my well-being. I'm compelled to recommend Dr E to others because her care is exceptional, and I foresee a long-lasting professional relationship with her.
Dr. E is genuinely extraordinary. Her compassion, expertise, and attentive listening skills are evident in every interaction. She has the ability to respond to all questions with clarity and consideration. Dr. E is an indispensable asset to the community.
