Recover Faster After Delivery With Alpine Physical Therapy

It’s not a secret that having a baby causes your body to undergo a lot of changes. For months, your body grows and nurtures this tiny human. And while it’s wonderful to see how quickly they go from being the size of a kiwi to the size of a cantaloupe, it can cause some uncomfortable changes. Things like urinary leaks and pelvic pain are pretty familiar experiences for new moms. One of the best things you can do for your personal health is work with a pelvic floor physical therapist who will train your body for recovery. As a birth photographer, I get to chat with a lot of parents who have found therapists they love. Here’s why I always recommend Alpine Physical Therapy

About Alpine Physical Therapy

150 E. Spruce Street, Missoula, Montana 59802

Alpine Physical Therapy is a practice that was founded to create some serious change in the lives of Missoula residents. While some physical therapy offices merely offer exercises, this practice is here to do things a little differently. They prioritize education, working with you to understand why your body might be having some difficulties before walking you through how you can improve it. Their providers are all exceptionally compassionate and will treat you with both respect and discretion. By the end of your time here, you will be feeling your best!

Services

At Alpine Physical Therapy, their pelvic floor therapists have spent years preparing to help their patients. In addition to their standard schooling, they go through additional education and clinical practices to learn how they can help people of all genders through every stage of life. They have specialized services for mamas both before and after your baby is born. Additionally, Alpine can assist with conditions including incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, fecal incontinence, diastasis recti, pain with sex, and more. They use several methods for addressing these needs. 

Additionally, Alpine Physical Therapy is one of the few local centers that offer Rehabilitative Ultrasound Imaging (RUSI) to diagnose issues. Using these images, they can take a clear look at your muscles to see how they are functioning. They also offer the trusted Surface Electromyography (SEMG) Biofeedback approach to train the muscles through gentle voltage charges. They will work with you to figure out how they can help you address your concerns. With their care plan, you will find a treatment that actually puts you on the road to recovery.
