Why Postpartum Care Matters
Postpartum recovery is a critical phase, yet standard care often ends abruptly at six weeks, leaving women to navigate physical and emotional challenges alone. Hormonal shifts, weight retention, mood changes, and pelvic health issues can persist, with preventable complications like postpartum depression (affecting 10-15%) or physical weakness going unaddressed. Starting as early as the second trimester or at any stage postpartum, we can prepare you for delivery and recovery, ensuring a smoother transition to motherhood and beyond. My holistic approach, blending my osteopathic expertise with personalized strategies, helps you feel stronger and healthier than ever, whether you’re a first-time mom or balancing a busy career and family.
