There is a lot of pressure on women, post-delivery, to just “snap back”. There is also a lot of conflicting info out there on how to go about healing and strengthening after having a baby.
.
Getting a postpartum musculoskeletal assessment is a crucial step in helping to identify weaknesses, dysfunctions, and help with your post-delivery recovery. Best of all, this assures that you are being proactive against common issues like diastasis, bladder leakage, pelvic pain, painful intercourse, and prolapse.
.
Does insurance cover this? The short answer is, YES! This assessment and therapy are covered under most insurance’s physical therapy benefits. If you want to know if your plan covers this, please feel free to contact us!
