During pregnancy a woman’s body will go through many physical and postural changes due to the release of maternal hormones and the growing baby. Although muscular aches and pain are common in pregnancy, they are not normal. Sometimes these difficulties may continue into the post partum period or start anew following labor and delivery.

You have a lot to gain by attending therapy. On the average, most conditions respond well with 4-6 treatment sessions, however benefits have been achieved in only 1-2 sessions. It is never too late to start!
Your physician will need to provide a written prescription for physical therapy. We recommend you contact your insurance to verify coverage and complete any necessary pre-authorization requirements. Once authorization is received you can call the Physical Medicine Department, 262.257.3080 to schedule an appointment.
If you have any questions, call 262.257.3080 to speak with a physical therapist. We look forward to working with you!
