We clear up any confusion and provide individualized answers for YOU!

Prepare Your Body

Pregnancy asks a lot from your body. Your core, pelvic floor, hips, and spine adapt quickly as your baby grows, and those changes can affect how you move, exercise, and feel day to day.

Prenatal physical therapy helps you stay strong, mobile, and supported throughout pregnancy while preparing your body for labor and postpartum recovery.

At Breathe in Motion, our Doctors of Physical Therapy guide you through personalized care designed to reduce discomfort, build strength, and help you approach birth feeling prepared and confident.

Common Complaints

Many pregnancy aches and pains are often brushed off as “normal.” While common, they are signals that your body needs support.

Physical therapy during pregnancy helps you manage those changes while building the strength and coordination that support labor and recovery.

Our prenatal clients often seek care for:

• Pelvic girdle pain
• Low back pain
• Hip pain
• Pubic symphysis pain
• Sciatica or nerve irritation
• Core weakness or abdominal separation
• Pelvic floor pressure or heaviness
• Pain with walking, sleeping, or exercise

Addressing these symptoms early allows you to stay active and feel better throughout your pregnancy.

Birth Preparation

Labor is one of the most physically demanding events your body will experience. Preparing your muscles, breathing patterns, and pelvic floor can make a meaningful difference in how you move through the process.

Birth prep physical therapy focuses on:

• Pelvic floor mobility and relaxation
• Breathing strategies for labor
• Optimal pushing mechanics
• Positions that support pelvic opening
• Core support during pregnancy
• Movement strategies to reduce strain

This preparation helps you feel more connected to your body and gives you tools you can use during labor and delivery.

WHAT CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

I’ve been seeing Stephanie for a shoulder injury. I appreciate her extreme care, her thoughtfulness, and most importantly her use of creative approaches to relieve the pain and help my shoulder heal. My number one goal is to avoid surgery and with Steph’s help, I have my best chance!

This place is an absolutely amazing place to get Physical Therapy. I have been to many different medical facilities, and nothing has compared to the treatment that I get here. At first it may seem like a lot with the cost, but they will work with you, and it will be worth it in the end. I have done only 4/5 sessions so far and we have gotten more done than doing twenty sessions under insurance at a hospital system. The ladies that treat you here are super nice and understanding.

Molly is incredibly knowledgeable! I saw her for pelvic floor health for my second pregnancy. She asked questions I haven’t been asked before and did a thorough evaluation to try and get to the root cause of ailments I had with my first pregnancy. She exudes passion for what she does and stressed the importance of prevention. She never made me feel silly for asking questions and explained what and why she was doing in a way I could understand. I would absolutely recommend Molly and Breathe in Motion to any pregnant and postpartum mamas!

I’m a mom of two young and very active little ones. I had on and off low back pain since my last pregnancy and everyday life with my kids was becoming more painful and frustrating. I started therapy with Molly and was so impressed with her kind and compassionate demeanor, her knowledge, the quality of and her practice based on treating the whole person, listening to needs and helping achieve goals. I am back to chasing my kids and being active without pain! Molly is absolutely wonderful! So grateful.

After coming to Breathe in Motion, I gained an entirely new understanding of how my body moves and what it actually needs to stay strong. As someone with a healthcare background, I’ve seen a lot of physical therapy—but this experience was different. Rather than focusing on one painful area, they looked at my whole body, uncovered movement patterns and core weaknesses I didn’t realize were holding me back, and helped me retrain how I engage, posture, and move during exercise. Through my sessions, I became more aware of when to use my core, how everything connects, and how to support my body long-term—especially as I work toward running multiple half marathons. Their holistic, thoughtful approach wasn’t about quick fixes; it was about real, lasting healing, and that’s what’s made me feel stronger and more prepared for whatever comes next.
