Pregnancy-related conditions we treat with in-home pelvic floor therapy
Supporting a stronger, more comfortable pregnancy from bump to birth
-
Research published in BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology shows that by 28–32 weeks of pregnancy, more than half of women experience urinary leakage. Many also notice difficulty controlling gas or stool.
As your baby grows, increased pressure is placed on your pelvic floor—making these symptoms common, but not something you simply have to accept.
At Inner Strength, we teach you how to properly activate and coordinate your deep core system (including your pelvic floor) to better manage pressure and reduce or eliminate leakage—naturally, without relying on medications.
-
Your body undergoes rapid and significant changes during pregnancy, and discomfort in the pelvis, hips, low back, tailbone, and round ligaments is common. But “common” doesn’t mean it should limit your life.
At Inner Strength, we take a personalized approach using hands-on treatment, targeted movement, and practical lifestyle strategies to reduce or resolve pain—so you can stay active and continue doing what you love.
-
As your body adapts to a growing baby, shifts in posture—like rounded shoulders, a forward head, or changes in your lower back and pelvic positioning—are very common. These changes can affect how you move and may contribute to pain or discomfort. They can also influence your baby’s positioning, potentially impacting labor and delivery.
At Inner Strength, we help you restore balance through education, movement, strengthening, and simple daily habit changes—so you can move with greater ease and confidence while creating an optimal environment for your baby.
-
Between hormonal changes, a shifting center of gravity, and endless (often conflicting) advice online, staying active during pregnancy can feel overwhelming.
At Inner Strength, we simplify it all. We help you build a safe, realistic, and sustainable movement routine tailored to your body, your lifestyle, and your goals—so you can feel strong, capable, and supported every step of the way.
-
Despite common myths, your core muscles are still accessible and trainable during pregnancy. Learning how to engage your deep core correctly can make everyday tasks—like lifting, carrying, and bending—feel easier and more comfortable.
We teach you practical strategies to support your body during daily activities, helping reduce pain and minimize issues like excessive abdominal separation.
-
Intimacy is an important part of your relationship—during pregnancy and beyond. At Inner Strength, we offer compassionate, personalized care to help you feel comfortable and confident. Through gentle, hands-on treatment, individualized positioning strategies, and education, we support you in restoring comfort and enjoying a pain-free, connected intimate life throughout pregnancy and postpartum.
-
Increased blood volume and pressure on the veins during pregnancy can lead to varicose veins and swelling in the legs.
At Inner Strength, we use specialized techniques—including manual lymphatic drainage—along with compression and lifestyle strategies to support circulation and reduce discomfort, helping you feel lighter and more comfortable throughout your pregnancy.
-
Many women experience constipation during pregnancy, often due to growing baby, hormonal shifts, and changes to daily routines and habits. This can also contribute to things like hemorrhoids and feelings of pelvic heaviness. At Inner Strength, we support your pregnancy with gentle pelvic floor relaxation, hands-on abdominal massage, and practical, easy-to-implement habit changes to help your body feel balanced again.

Discover the INNER STRENGTH Difference: Where Expert Care Meets Personal Touch
Inner Strength isn’t just about treatments; it’s about creating a personalized experience that resonates with your unique and changing needs during pregnancy and motherhood. We understand that choosing a pelvic health specialist is a significant decision, and it’s essential to find a practice where you feel understood, supported, and confident in the expertise provided.
Below are the top reasons why our practice stands out as the premier choice for mothers seeking specialized, compassionate pelvic healthcare in the greater St. Cloud, MN area:
Focused expertise in pelvic health during pregnancy and postpartum: our advanced training in pregnancy and postpartum means you’re getting care that’s tailored, precise, and effective.
The in-home difference: you will never have to worry about waiting rooms, childcare, or being on time with a baby. Seeing you in your home allows us to bypass common barriers to moms getting the healthcare they deserve, with a better understanding of your daily life and environment.
A holistic approach to care: pregnancy, birth, and beyond are not just physical experiences, but uniquely emotional and spiritual. Treating “the whole you” doesn’t mean just looking at how your muscles are functioning, but your mental health, habits, lifestyle.
Full-hour, focused sessions: each session is a full hour or more dedicated to you. This means more time for treatment, more attention to your needs, and a quicker path to feeling better.
Care focused on YOUR needs (not what your insurance company thinks you need): we are out of network for insurance. That means that we do not have to be limited by set number of treatments or ability to do only certain types of treatments that your insurance approves.
Compassionate care from someone who gets it: be seen by a therapist that is living the pregnancy and new motherhood journey with you. Someone who can relate to your mindset and physical changes will be able to meet you where you’re at and give suggestions that make sense in your real life.
Proactive health decision: choosing Inner Strength is a proactive step towards better health for you and your baby. It’s not about settling for discomfort or delay, but taking control and moving towards a healthier, stronger you.
Empowering you with knowledge: we do more than treat symptoms: we educate and empower. You’ll not only feel better but also be equipped with the knowledge to maintain and improve your pelvic health.
Prepared, punctual care: Your time is valuable. We take the time to thoroughly review all of your intake paperwork and prepare thoughtfully for each session. We pride ourselves in our dependable and flexible care, always on time and able to adapt to the needs of your family on any given day.
Access to care: When you make a decision that you are worthy of a smoother pregnancy, birth and postpartum recovery, you should start that care right away. At Inner Strength, we work with you to start your healing journey within 2 weeks of reaching out.
