Pregnancy and Postpartum

Pregnancy & Postpartum Care That Actually Works
Pregnancy and birth put enormous strain on your core and pelvic floor—often leading to pain, leakage, and muscle changes. You don’t have to “just live with it.”

We Treat:

  • Stress Incontinence – Peeing during workouts or sneezes? We help you regain control.

  • Urgency or Hesitancy – Sudden urges or trouble starting to pee? We address the root cause.

  • Bowel Incontinence – Gas or stool leaks after birth? We can fix that.

  • Diastasis Recti – We close mild abdominal separations without surgery.

  • Perineal Pain – Gentle, effective relief after tears or episiotomy.

  • Pain with Sex – Common postpartum issue, fully treatable with PT.

  • Pubic Symphysis Pain – Restore pelvic alignment and stability.

  • Pelvic Organ Prolapse – Reduce pressure, prevent worsening, strengthen support.

Our Approach

  • Weak muscles? We retrain them for strength and control.

  • Tight muscles? We release and restore mobility.

  • Always 1:1, personalized to your body and goals.

  • "Run, don’t walk, to an appointment with Tanya. I just completed a workout that, this time last year, I completely failed—thanks to my uncooperative pelvic floor. Turns out, you do need a functioning pelvic floor to get through a boxing-style workout with jump rope, double unders, kicks, and jumping jacks for a full hour. I’m happy to report it was 100% improved thanks to Tanya’s clear, easy-to-understand exercises. Do yourself a favor and book the appointment!"

  • "I was referred to Aly for persistent shoulder and knee joint pain stemming from a history of sports injuries. She’s been phenomenal at identifying the underlying causes and prescribing targeted exercises to improve my mobility and strengthen key muscle groups. I would highly recommend her for a wide range of physical therapy needs!"

    R.S.

  • "Tanya quite simply provides amazing healing. She’s knowledgeable, skilled, and kind. She strikes a great balance between being respectful and approachable, without being overly serious. Her treatment was impressively effective, and I wish more women knew this kind of care was available."

  • "Working with Sonia really helped me postpartum. She takes the time to really understand how one can best activate their pelvic floor, for me it was a lot of visual cues. I feel like I’m able to work out again and more intentionally. I learned so much about the importance of taking care of my pelvic floor for long term health! I so appreciated her professionalism and kindness! Thanks Sonia!

    T.C.

  • "I really enjoy working with Dr. Aly! I started treatment with her after my C-section, following a diagnosis of moderate diastasis recti by my OB. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. I’ll definitely be returning to her in the future!"

  • “Healthy Pelvis has been a great place to start physical therapy and recovery after my caesarean. I was uneducated and uninformed about recovering after giving birth so I was very happy to come across Healthy Pelvis. I'd highly recommend giving this place a try. I work with Dr. Aly and she gives me a program that works best for me and I'm sure she will for you too, whatever your goals are.”

    J.V.

  • "I’m so glad I found Healthy Pelvis and Aly! I didn’t realize they treat more than the pelvic floor. I have had pain in my big toe from arthritis for many years and it was getting to the point where I was considering surgery. Someone recommended reaching out to Healthy Pelvis and I’m so glad they did! In addition to manual therapy in the office, I have been able to reduce the amount of pain through muscle building exercises at home. I feel so relieved that I don’t need to consider foot surgery anymore. Aly is an extremely knowledgeable PT and is a lovely person as well. I highly recommend Healthy Pelvis!"

    T.J.

  • "I found Healthy Pelvis Physical Therapy during a time when there were unknowns about my bladder health, including a working diagnosis of interstitial cystitis. Aly immediately put me at ease with her knowledge and empathy. After a few sessions I was feeling exponentially better both mentally and physically. I am now continuing my progress with the tools Aly gave me. I am so thankful I found this place!!"

    K.B.

  • "Not only did Tanya provide exceptional care during sessions, but she also equipped me with valuable tools and exercises to continue my progress at home. Thanks to her guidance, I've noticed a significant improvement in my pelvic health and overall well-being. If you're seeking a pelvic physical therapist who is knowledgeable, caring, and dedicated to your health journey, look no further than Healthy Pelvis.

  • "Tanya at Healthy Pelvis has really changed my life. I thought bladder control was something I would never get back, but my expectations were quickly exceeded. Tanya is fun, patient, and makes discussing a sensitive topic really straight forward. The exercises were manageable and effective. I am pleased to say that I have graduated from the program with success! I definitely recommend Healthy Pelvis Physical Therapy."
