Prenatal and Postpartum Physical Therapy in Fort Myers, FL

Being pregnant can often be a time of uncertainty and immense change - physically, mentally, and emotionally. In the current healthcare model, we often wait until we have a problem to seek help rather than getting ahead of it when we can. That is what our prenatal and postpartum services aim to do - take a wellness approach to this sacred time period.

We help you maintain your strength and function during pregnancy, prepare your pelvic floor and core for birth, get ahead on your postpartum recovery, alleviate aches and pains that may arise, and serve as a guide for your changing body.

A question we get often is, "is it worth it to do pelvic floor therapy before giving birth?" The answer is - absolutely yes! Many of our patients experience easier labor and deliveries and minimal unwanted symptoms postpartum by addressing their pelvic floor before giving birth. Just as people do rehab and strengthening before any major surgery, we should view L&D much the same. So many women find us postpartum and say:

 

"I wish I would have seen you sooner."

​

Pelvic floor therapists are experts in the musculosketal system and Dr. Kadish has advance training as a Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist to help her patients maintain a strong and healthy body during pregnancy.
