Real, one-on-one physical therapy in Chatham that treats the cause of your pain, not just the symptom, and gets you back to moving without limits.

Your body did something enormous, and it deserves a real recovery plan, not just "give it time." Postpartum recovery therapy is hands-on, one-on-one physical therapy built around what actually happened to your body during pregnancy and delivery. We evaluate your core and pelvic floor function, check for diastasis recti, look at any C-section or perineal scar tissue, and find out exactly what is driving the pain, pressure, or weakness you are feeling. Resting alone does not close an abdominal separation or rebuild pelvic floor strength. Kegels alone are not the answer for everyone, and for some women they can even make symptoms worse. What actually works is a plan built around your specific body, not a generic handout.
This is care for the questions no one gave you a straight answer to: why sex hurts now when it didn't before, why you still feel pressure "down there," whether that doming in your belly will resolve on its own, and whether you are really ready to run, jump, or lift the way you used to. You get a real plan and a real answer, not a guess.
You do not have to be "seriously" injured to need this. If your body has felt different since having your baby and no one has given you a straight answer, an evaluation is worth it. These are the people who walk through our door.
Your core still feels separated, weak, or unstable, and exercises you have tried on your own have not closed the gap. We assess the separation directly and build a plan to rebuild real core function, not just do more crunches.
Leaking when you run or jump, pressure "down there," or pain with intercourse are common after having a baby, but they are not something you have to just live with. We get to the source instead of just recommending more kegels.
You want to get back to running, lifting, or your regular workouts, but you are not sure your body is ready or where to start safely. We guide that return step by step, so you are not just guessing.
We start by listening to your story, because no two postpartum recoveries look the same. Here is how your care actually progresses.
We check your core and pelvic floor function directly, including any diastasis recti, scar tissue from a C-section or delivery, and what is actually driving your symptoms, not just what you were told after your six-week checkup.
We combine hands-on work with targeted core and pelvic floor retraining built around your body, not a generic postpartum handout.
We guide your progression back to running, lifting, or whatever "active" looks like for you, so you return to it with confidence instead of guessing and hoping it holds up.
Wear comfortable clothes you can move and stretch in, and arrive about ten minutes early for your first visit so we can finish any paperwork before treatment begins.
Dr. Leah Connerty was amazing throughout my postpartum recovery. She helped significantly with my pelvic and sacral pain, and I truly felt stronger and better after working with her. She is incredibly knowledgeable, has such a warm and encouraging personality, and made every visit a positive experience. I highly recommend her to anyone needing pelvic floor physical therapy, especially postpartum!
