Expert Care From the Comfort of Home
Our home visits are reserved for postpartum parents in the critical 0-6 week period. Whether you had a challenging birth, are experiencing a sudden onset of new symptoms, or just want to get a jump start on your recovery, we know firsthand how crucial support is during this time and how hard it can be to leave the home to get it.
That’s why we come to you.

A detailed physical assessment to identify areas of dysfunction. Note: no internal exam performed.
Our PTs may assess:
your core for a diastasis recti
your spine, pelvis and hips
your external pelvic floor
neck and shoulder pain
posture, feeding and sleeping positions

Pain in those early weeks is SO common. We can provide hands on treatment to get you some immediate relief as your body continues to heal and adjust to caring for your newborn.

Wondering how much rest you really need? What kind of movement would be safe to integrate in the early days?
Our PT will provide you with personalized guidance on rest, movement and discuss a return to exercise plan, if appropriate.

Have you noticed that feeding and caring for your baby lands you in all sorts of positions at all hours of day and night?
Tweaking your posture can make such a impact on pain. We can assess your feeding and sleep set up to offer you some alternatives to get you pain free.
-
Believe it or not, it's not too early to start rehabbing your core and pelvic floor. While we won't perform an internal assessment prior to your 6 week visit with the OB or midwife, we can teach you simple exercises and techniques to promote healing and set the foundation for rehabbing your body.

Confused by all the conflicting information on the internet? We hear you. Every body is different and every individual has a different history, different goals and different circumstances. You don't need to guess whether the advice you saw online will work for you. Our plans are personalized to meet your needs.

We never perform a postpartum internal exam until a patient has been cleared for sex by their provider at their 6 week checkup. For most of our home visit patients, this timeline means we will not perform an internal exam.

Our in-home visits are reserved for folks in the first 6 weeks after childbirth, when it is so daunting to leave the house. Once you are past the 6-week mark, you will be transferred to one of our physical therapists to finish out your plan of care in our south Austin clinic! Little ones are always welcome.
