Postpartum Recovery

Don’t Settle For the Line:

“That’s normal, you just had a baby!”

The pregnancy and postpartum periods introduce significant changes to the structure and support of the pelvis. While the focus and attention is usually on the baby after delivery, moms rarely get the support they need to recover from giving birth.
 
At Revitalize Athletics, we are breaking the “normal”– helping our moms restore their pre-pregnancy athletic abilities so that they can get back to enjoying playtime with the kids, returning to exercise, enjoying pain-free intercourse, and so much more. And the best part…we’re mobile, so our moms don’t need to find childcare for their appointments!
