Preparing for Birth and Postpartum Physical Recovery with Dr. Whitney Sippl, Women's Health PT

09/12/19 • 69 min

Incontinence, painful intercourse, scar pain, pelvic or back pain, pelvic pressure or abdominal separation are commonly experienced during pregnancy or after having a baby; however, though COMMON, these conditions are not "NORMAL" and there are many ways to address these concerns. Dr. Whitney Sippl of Restored Physique Physical Therapy chats with me about the many physical changes that occur during pregnancy and how you can better prepare for labor and delivery and an easier recovery after birth. We talk about the common but not normal physical changes that occur during and after labor and delivery or a C-Section and all about postnatal healing and recovery.
This is a conversation that you wont want to miss if you're pregnant or after giving birth. Whitney gives awesome tips and lots of information that you probably have never heard before. Postpartum physical recovery is so important and can have lasting effects, well into much later years in life if not addressed properly - Whitney shares ways you can take care of yourself NOW for lasting health for your future.
