Pregnancy-related conditions we treat with in-home pelvic floor therapy

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.
