You Deserve Better Than 'This Is Just Part of Motherhood'
Too many postpartum mothers are told to accept pain, leakage, and discomfort as normal. But it doesn't have to be this way.
Dealing with Bladder Leakage
You're avoiding activities you love—running, jumping, even laughing—because you're worried about leaking. It's affecting your confidence and quality of life.
Living with Back or Pelvic Pain
Your lower back, tailbone, or hips ache at the end of the day. You thought it was just from carrying your baby, but the pain won't go away no matter what you try.
Frustrated with Traditional PT
You've tried physical therapy before, but you only got 15 minutes of attention while your therapist juggled multiple patients. You never got the personalized care you needed.

“I started working with Dr. Matt after years of getting stuck in the same overtraining loop. From the beginning, he got me out of the twice-a-week if I’m lucky strength training mindset and into a sustainable, daily routine that was actually tailored to my body, history and goals.”
“HIGHLY recommend for postpartum women with hip and back discomfort and bladder leak concerns. I spoke with Dr. Veronica for my intake, and 10 sessions later I don’t have that lower back or tailbone pain at all.”

Postpartum PT Questions?
Everything you need to know about getting started with us.
-
We provide one full hour of dedicated 1-on-1 attention with a pelvic floor specialist every session—no bouncing between patients or working with assistants. Our cash-based model means no surprise bills and complete transparency. We focus on identifying and treating the root cause of your symptoms, not just managing them. Most importantly, our therapists are specially trained in pelvic floor dysfunction, postpartum care, and women's health.
-
No referral is needed. Maryland law allows direct access to physical therapy, meaning you can schedule an appointment without seeing a doctor first. However, if you plan to use insurance benefits for out-of-network reimbursement, check with your insurance provider about their specific requirements.
-
Each session is one full hour of 1-on-1 care with your pelvic floor physical therapist. The number of sessions varies based on your individual needs and goals, but many postpartum patients see significant improvements within 6-10 sessions. We'll discuss your personalized treatment timeline during your initial assessment.
-
You can typically begin pelvic floor physical therapy around 6 weeks postpartum after being cleared by your OB/GYN, though every situation is unique. Whether you're 6 weeks or 6 years postpartum, it's never too late to address pelvic floor dysfunction, diastasis recti, or postpartum pain. We've helped mothers at all stages of recovery.
-
We are an out-of-network, cash-based practice, which means you pay at the time of service. This model allows us to spend a full hour with you without insurance limitations. We provide superbills that you can submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. We believe in 100% pricing transparency—no hidden fees or surprise bills. Contact us at (301) 337-8095 for specific pricing information.
-
Your first visit includes a comprehensive assessment where we'll discuss your birth experience, current symptoms, and goals. We'll evaluate your pelvic floor function, core strength, posture, and movement patterns. This thorough evaluation allows us to create a personalized treatment plan specifically for your body and recovery needs. Many patients begin hands-on treatment during their first session.
