Pregnancy & Postpartum Assessments
Expert Care for Pregnancy, Birth & Recovery
Whether you’re preparing for birth, experiencing pain during pregnancy, or navigating recovery after having a baby, specialized physical therapy can make a meaningful difference.
At JB Physical Therapy, we offer comprehensive, one-on-one assessments that go beyond a traditional pelvic floor evaluation. We take the time to understand how your body is functioning, address your concerns, and provide individualized recommendations based on your needs.
What Brings You Here?
You don’t need to be experiencing pain or other symptoms to benefit from pregnancy or postpartum physical therapy.
Some women come to prepare for labor and delivery. Others are dealing with symptoms they’ve been told are simply part of pregnancy or motherhood.
Common reasons women seek care include:
Preparing for labor, delivery, and postpartum recovery
Pubic symphysis, pelvic girdle, hip, neck, or back pain
Urinary leaking, urgency, or bowel dysfunction
Pelvic organ prolapse, heaviness, or pressure
Diastasis recti and abdominal weakness
Pelvic pain or pain with intimacy
Feeling weak or disconnected from your body after birth
Returning to running, Pilates, lifting, or other exercise
Whether you’re feeling great and want to be proactive or have a specific concern you’d like addressed, your assessment is tailored to you.

✓ One-on-one care every visit
✓ Private 60-minute appointments

Pregnancy & Postpartum Bundle
Our Most Comprehensive Experience
Pregnancy and postpartum place different demands on your body. Having specialized care during both stages means you’re not left trying to navigate recovery on your own.
Our Pregnancy & Postpartum Bundle includes two comprehensive assessments: one during pregnancy to address your current needs and prepare for birth, and another after delivery to evaluate your recovery and guide your next steps.
By planning for both visits in advance, you’re prioritizing your recovery before life with a newborn gets busy.
Your experience includes:
A private, 60-minute Pregnancy Assessment
A comprehensive Postpartum Recovery Assessment
Individualized recommendations following each visit
Lifetime access to B Recovered™, Dr. Jessica’s 12-week postpartum recovery program
Preferred bundled pricing
Pregnancy Assessment
Prepare for Birth. Address Symptoms. Understand Your Body.
You don’t have to wait until something hurts to see a pelvic health physical therapist during pregnancy.
Your Pregnancy Assessment is an opportunity to understand how your body is adapting and prepare for the changes ahead.
If you’re experiencing pelvic pain, pubic symphysis discomfort, leaking, or difficulty staying active, we’ll address those concerns. If you’re feeling well, we can focus on birth preparation and ways to support your body through pregnancy and recovery.
Your assessment includes:
Comprehensive full-body evaluation
Core, breathing, and pelvic floor assessment
Labor and birth preparation
A personalized treatment plan
You’ll leave with recommendations specific to your assessment findings, along with lifetime access to B Recovered™ for postpartum guidance.
Postpartum Recovery Assessment
Because Medical Clearance and Physical Recovery Aren’t the Same Thing
Your postpartum OB appointment is an essential part of your medical care. But being cleared to resume activity doesn’t necessarily mean your core, pelvic floor, and strength have fully recovered.
A Postpartum Recovery Assessment complements your OB care by taking a closer look at how your body is functioning after pregnancy and delivery.
Whether you’re experiencing leaking, prolapse symptoms, diastasis recti, pain, or simply don’t feel as strong or connected to your body as you once did, we’ll evaluate your recovery and provide recommendations based on your individual findings.
And you don’t have to be six weeks postpartum. Whether it’s been six weeks, six months, or several years since you gave birth, it’s not too late to address your concerns.
Your assessment includes:
Comprehensive postpartum evaluation
Core, breathing, and pelvic floor assessment
A personalized recovery plan
Return-to-exercise guidance
Your assessment includes lifetime access to B Recovered™.
Not sure which is right for you? Just reach out—we’re always happy to help you decide.
What Happens After Your Assessment?
Some women find that their assessment and personalized home program provide the guidance they need. Others benefit from additional one-on-one physical therapy to address symptoms or work toward specific goals.
At the end of your assessment, Dr. Jessica will review her findings, answer your questions, and recommend appropriate next steps.
There are no predetermined treatment packages. Your care is based on your individual needs.
