Pregnancy is an extraordinary and transformative experience, but it can also be challenging to prioritize self-care during this time. Pelvic floor abnormalities, common during pregnancy, can be easily corrected with minimal effort, saving you from years of pain and incontinence. Throughout pregnancy, statistics indicate the prevalence of conditions such as pelvic girdle pain, stress urinary incontinence, diastasis recti abdominis, and serious pelvic floor muscle injuries. Recognizing the significance of these statistics emphasizes the importance of proactive care during and after pregnancy to address pelvic floor issues. Doing so can mitigate discomfort, promote overall well-being, and enhance your quality of life as a new mother.
These concerns extend beyond women who give birth vaginally. Pregnancy hormones can impact ligaments, putting mothers at risk of pelvic rotations even after a cesarean section. Scar tissue from a c-section can hinder the relaxation or contraction of pelvic floor muscles, resulting in pain and incontinence. The Virtual Physiocomprehensively evaluates abdominal muscle function, overall posture, scar tissue mobility, and pelvic floor muscle function, developing a personalized treatment plan to help you regain the quality of life you desire.

If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, you’ve come to the right place!
At Virtual Physio, we understand the frustrations and unnecessary pain many postpartum women endure due to misleading advice, misconceptions, or limited treatment options. We want to set the record straight.
Don’t settle for ongoing problems despite being told to rest for six weeks. We can help you find a better solution.
Watching generic workout videos on YouTube may seem promising for getting back in shape quickly, but they often lead to discomfort, leaks, and a sense of misery and demoralization. Our approach is different.
Don’t accept that pain or abdominal separation after childbirth is just “natural” or that leaking or bladder control issues are inevitable with age. We believe there’s more to your story.
Simply relying on pain relievers won’t address the root causes of your issues or provide long-lasting relief. We offer a comprehensive approach.
It’s not a choice between medicine, surgery, or simply “dealing with it.” There are effective alternatives that can make a significant difference in your life.
Resting alone won’t solve the underlying issues. You may find temporary relief, but once you resume your normal activities, pelvic discomfort, leaking, and other postpartum symptoms will likely persist (as you may have already experienced).
Although it’s common, experiencing prolonged pain or urine leaks after pregnancy or as you age is not a standard or inevitable part of life.
Relying solely on pain relievers is not a sustainable solution. They can be addictive, pose risks, and contribute to other health problems.
Don’t be misled into thinking that medicine, surgery, and injections are your only treatment options. These are the options your doctor may have presented to you, but alternative approaches are available.
It’s time to explore new possibilities and discover comprehensive solutions that address the root causes of your concerns. At Virtual Physio, we provide alternative therapies and personalized care that can make a real difference in your well-being. Say goodbye to limited options and embrace a path towards lasting relief and improved quality of life.
If You’re Tired Of Experiencing Painful Sex, Dealing With A Mommy Tummy, Or Struggling With Chronic Low Back Pain, Virtual Physio’s Pregnancy and Birth Prep Services Are Here To Help You Reclaim The Activities You Love, Even If It’s Been 20 Years! And The Best Part Is, You Can Achieve This Without Relying On Pills, Pads, Or Surgery.
Choosing the right healthcare provider is crucial for addressing your specific needs. Making the wrong choice can lead to unnecessary surgeries, dependence on drugs or painkillers, or a lifetime of worsening symptoms.
To prevent recurrence and effectively treat issues like leakage, abdominal separation, pelvic floor dysfunction, and postpartum hip/back/pelvic discomfort, opting for the least-invasive and most natural methods available is important.
Recovery requires a provider who comprehends the intricate workings of the body. Pregnancy and postpartum bring significant changes to our bodies, and to fully recover, we must address multiple aspects such as the neck, back, diaphragm, core, pelvic floor, pelvis, posture, strength, and body usage. It’s about more than just performing Kegels!
To ensure a complete recovery, it’s crucial to treat the symptoms and delve into the underlying causes of your symptoms and dysfunction. This is where you’ll find a permanent solution to your postpartum problems.
At Virtual Physio, we understand the importance of a holistic approach beyond surface-level treatment. Our professionals are dedicated to uncovering the root causes of your issues and providing a comprehensive solution. We can help you recover and regain control over your postpartum well-being.
At Virtual Physio, We Have Developed A Three-Step Procedure To Eliminate Your Postpartum Problems And Ensure You Never Have To Deal With Them Again.
We recognize the frustrations that come with the traditional healthcare system. Waiting weeks, if not months, for a brief appointment with doctors who rush through the visit leaves you bewildered and unsure of what happened.
Unfortunately, this is how many physical therapy clinics operate as well. Therapists are often inattentive and rushed, lacking the time to understand your goals or provide personalized attention. But we’re different!
That’s why our first priority is to hear your story.
Having successfully worked with numerous postpartum women, we understand that everyone is unique. Your body, history, and pain and symptom patterns are specific to you.
As a crucial first step, we invite you to have an open chat where you can freely share your story. This allows us to gain a comprehensive understanding of not only the issues affecting your body but also how they are impacting your life.
Many individuals have received medical terms or diagnoses to explain their bodily issues. It could be a diagnosis from their doctor, test results revealing a condition, or information they found online.
You may have been diagnosed with conditions such as Prolapse, Diastasis Recti, Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, Incontinence, Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Pain, or Hip/Back/Pelvic Pain.
You may have been told that your only options are to relax, take medication, or simply wait.
While these measures might offer temporary relief, they fail to address the underlying cause of the problem.
Each person’s source of pain or symptoms is unique. No two individuals have the exact same problem caused by the same factors.
At Virtual Physio, our objective is to treat the underlying cause of your discomfort in a way that eliminates it and prevents its recurrence!
We understand you may still have doubts or skepticism about Integrative Physical Therapy. That’s why we offer a low-cost Discovery/Screening Visit.
Our Discovery Visits are specifically designed for individuals who are skeptical, uncertain, or may have experienced disappointment in the past. During the Discovery Visit, you will learn about the root cause of your condition, how long it will take to address it and gain confidence that your condition can be naturally resolved!
This is the stage where significant transformations occur. We provide a personalized plan that empowers you to…
…resume physical activities, including running or jumping, without the fear of experiencing pain, stiffness, or bladder control issues.
…engage with your children, effortlessly lifting and carrying them.
…reignite intimate relationships with your partner, free from discomfort or pain.
…return to your favorite forms of exercise, such as yoga, running, tennis, and more.
As your body heals from Diastasis Recti/Abdominal Separation and regains full core strength, you will rediscover your power, confidence, and sense of allure.
Our ideal clients are motivated individuals who are determined to reclaim their active lifestyle, even if they currently feel constrained.
If you’d like to learn more about our availability and pricing before committing to a visit, we are happy to provide you with the necessary information.
