How Birth Prep Can Help
At Optimize Pelvic Health, we specialize not only pelvic floor conditions from pregnancy and postpartum, but we also provide birth preparation. As pelvic floor specialists, we are the experts in the mechanics of the muscles of the pelvic floor during labor and delivery.
The pelvic floor can stretch 25-250%, depending on individual anatomy, during delivery. Learn how to perform perineal massage to minimize risk of tearing.
During our labor and delivery program, we teach home exercises for early pregnancy to promote hip flexibility, which is crucial for labor and delivery. We perform internal assessments of the pelvic floor to find the positions and vocalizations which are best for helping the pelvic floor “move out of the way” during delivery.
