Pregnancy Pain
Are You Struggling to Feel Normal Again During Your Pregnancy in Christiansburg, Virginia?
Are You Struggling With Pregnancy Recovery?
- Pelvic girdle pain affects 45% of pregnant women. This can result in daily pain and/or sexual pain.
- During pregnancy, 19% to 70% of women may experience stress urinary incontinence.
The following delivery...
- In the postpartum period, 35% of new mothers experience stress urinary incontinence (leaking while coughing, sneezing, lifting, jumping, and so on).
- After pregnancy, more than half of women have diastatis recti abdominis. (A diastatis rectus abdominis is a separation of the abdominal muscles from their central tendon that is a leading cause of low back pain, stress urinary incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse.)
- After a normal pregnancy/delivery, 20% of first-time mothers have a severe pelvic floor muscle injury.
- 25% of women who experience pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain continue to experience pain after delivery.
- Tired of urine leakage (incontinence) while running, jumping, or even going about your daily business?
- Are you concerned about pregnancy pain that won't go away no matter what you do?
- Feeling self-conscious, frustrated, or discouraged since the birth of your child, believing you'll never be able to regain control of your body?
- Do you find sex painful or uncomfortable?
- Having difficulty keeping up with your children and feeling as if you're missing out on life?
- Lacking confidence because you know your core isn't working properly, you have a Diastasis Recti, or you still look pregnant although you aren't?
- Frustrated that other approaches haven't worked (even if they were from another PT) or unsure what to try?
- Are you looking for a long-term, natural solution that will permanently eliminate these issues (without medications or surgery)?
- Your doctor advises you to rest for six weeks, after which you may resume your normal activities. Then weeks, months, or even years pass, and you continue to struggle.
- "Just do some YouTube workout videos, and you'll be back in shape in no time"; nevertheless, these workouts cause pain and leakage, and you feel terrible and demoralized afterward.
- It is "natural" to experience pain or abdominal separation after childbirth, and "everyone" experiences urinary incontinence or bladder control concerns as they age.
- If you take some painkillers, the situation will be resolved.
- Medication, surgery, or "living with it" are the only treatment choices.
The Reality Is...
- Resting it makes no difference. You may receive a little amount of temporary relief, but as soon as you resume activity, your pelvic pain, leakage, and other pregnancy symptoms will return (I guarantee you've already experienced it!).
- While often, it is NOT NORMAL to experience persistent pain or urine leaks following pregnancy... or even as one ages
- Painkillers are addictive, harmful, and can cause several other health issues.
- Medicine, surgery, and injections are not the only treatment options available. These are the only options your physician can provide.
At Pelvic Solutions, We Help Women Who Are Tired of Leaking, Painful Sexual Activity, Mommy Tummy, or Persistent Low Back Pain Return to the Activities They Love (Even After 20 Years) Without the Use of Pills, Pads, or Surgery.
You must choose the appropriate healthcare provider. If you don’t, you may wind up undergoing surgery (when it could have been avoided), becoming dependent on drugs or painkillers, or both… or living the rest of your life with symptoms that slowly deteriorate.
Obtaining the “least intrusive” and most natural treatment is ESSENTIAL for permanently resolving your leaking, abdominal separation issues, pelvic floor concerns, or postpartum hip/back/pelvic pain.
Working with a physician who understands how the body functions as a whole are crucial to your recovery. Our bodies undergo extraordinary changes during pregnancy and the postpartum period. To fully recover, we must address changes in the neck/back/diaphragm/core/pelvic floor/pelvis, posture, strength, and how we use our bodies. It’s far more than just Kegels!
To guarantee complete recovery, we must treat more than just the symptoms. You must have access to a qualified practitioner who is willing to identify the ROOT CAUSE of your symptoms and dysfunction. Then you will obtain a PERMANENT remedy for your Pregnancy Pain.
At Pelvic Solutions, We’ve Developed a Three-Step Approach to Eliminate Your Pregnancy Pain and Ensure You Never Have to Experience It Again.
STEP 1 - WE WANT TO HEAR YOUR STORY
Our healthcare system is infuriating. You wait weeks, if not months, for an appointment, only to speak with the doctors for 10 minutes before they have to rush to the next patient, leaving you wondering, “What just happened?”
This is how most physical therapy clinics operate. They are not attentive, they are fast-paced, and your therapist does not have time to learn about your goals or to work with you one-on-one. That is why we operate in such disparate ways!
That is why our first step is to hear your story.
We know that no two people are alike after successfully working with many women experiencing postpartum issues. Each person has a unique body, a unique history, and a unique set of pain and symptoms.
That is why, as a first step, we will hold an open conversation and allow you to tell your story. That way, we can gain a thorough understanding of not only what’s going on with your body, but also how it’s affecting your life.
STEP 2 - DETERMINE WHY YOUR SYMPTOMS STARTED
Many people have a medical term or diagnosis for what’s wrong with their bodies. Maybe it was given to them by their doctor, maybe tests revealed the diagnosis, or maybe you found it online.
Prolapse, Diastasis Recti, Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, Incontinence, Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Pain, or Hip/Back/Pelvic Pain may have been assigned to you.
You could have been told that your only options were to rest, take medication, or wait.
These things may provide temporary relief, but they do not address the root cause of the problem.
Each person’s cause of pain or symptoms is unique. Nobody has the same problem caused by the same thing as someone else.
Pelvic Solutions’ goal is to find the root cause of your problem so that your pain not only goes away but stays away!
We understand that you may still be skeptical or unsure about Integrative Physical Therapy. As a result, we developed a low-cost Discovery/Screening Visit.
Our Discovery Visits are designed for people who are skeptical, unsure or have been disappointed in the past. During the Discovery Visit, you’ll learn what’s wrong, how long it will take to fix it, and gain confidence that your problem can be solved naturally!
STEP 3 - GET RID OF THE PROBLEM AND KEEP IT FROM REAPPEARING
This is when major changes take place. We create a customized plan that allows you to…
…resume exercise (yes, even running and jumping!) without fear of resuming pain, stiffness, or bladder control issues.
…be able to play with your children, lift and carry them without difficulty.
…return to intimate relationships with your spouse without fear of pain.
…return to your favorite active lifestyle (yoga, running, tennis, whatever!).
…regain your strength, confidence, and even sexiness as your body heals from the Diastasis Recti/Abdominal Separation and regains full core strength.
Our ideal clients are those who are motivated and eager to reclaim their active lifestyle. (Even if they are currently stuck!)

“I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Olivia! I had my first appointment today and left feeling truly connected to my body. She took the time to explain the “how and why” and what I need to focus on to help my current issues. I can’t wait for my next appointment!”
