LiveWell CNY Physical Therapy

The office is currently closed for my maternity leave and will reopen Feb 2022. We are expecting baby girl to make her debut sometime in the upcoming couple weeks! This is your PSA to be sure to set up an appointment with a pelvic PT in pregnancy and postpartum- even if you have the typical back pain in pregnancy or only mild tearing postpartum. The truth is, a pelvic floor PT can help you stay active during pregnancy and stay ahead of the aches and pains. We can help you... learn breathing patterns for labor and how to prepare your perineum for delivery. We can help you feel like yourself again after a C-section or a vaginal delivery. We can help make that first postpartum poop and return to intercourse not quite so scary. Looking forward to sharing the news of her arrival and more about my experience going through pregnancy as a pelvic floor PT over the upcoming weeks! . @samantha.ludlow . . . #pelvicfloorphysicaltherapy #pelvicfloorhealth #holistichealth #holistichealing #pregnancy #postpartum #postpartumrecovery #pelvichealth #womenshealth #momlife #maternitycare #maternityshoot #39weekspregnant #syracusemom #cnymom #syracusept #livewellcnypt See more

Just a fun quick interview last night with Lacey Roy of Full Bodied Health!

Thank you so much to @mcccoaching for inviting me to be a guest on your podcast last week where we dive into all the questions you wish you could ask about abdominal separation, urinary leakage and painful sex postpartum! Be sure to check out the full episode on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com//the-mommy-tummy-/id1524101590 #Repost @mcccoaching with @make_repost After childbirth many women deal with physical issues. ... (You know what I'm talking about!) When they gather their courage and ask for help, they're often told to "Just live with it" or "It's just part of being a woman." And this can make them feel defeated, disappointed, or plain old sad - which can lead to emotional eating. Listen to this tiny part of a very special podcast episode where I interview Dr. Julie Berube, Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist, as she shares solutions to all of these issues. Then, listen to the entire episode to learn more. You won't want to miss this one.
