in alpharetta, GA
We understand that pregnancy can bring about a range of changes, both physical and emotional. That's why we're here to offer our support every step of the way. Our experienced team of pelvic floor physical therapists can help you maintain proper alignment, strength, and mobility, keeping you feeling healthy and comfortable throughout your pregnancy.
We know that many women experience aches, pains, and issues like pressure and leaking, that often get brushed off as something you just need to deal with until you give birth, but you don't! Our expert care can alleviate these symptoms and help you enjoy this remarkable time in your life.
If you're not currently experiencing any issues, our proactive approach to labor preparation can improve your birth experience and set you up for a smoother postpartum recovery. So if you're looking for compassionate, personalized care during this exciting stage of life, look no further.

There is a broad list of common conditions we help our pregnant mamas with: low back pain, hip pain, mid back or neck pain, foot pain, pelvic pain, round ligament pain, pubic symphysis dysfunction, Sacroiliac pain, leaking with activity or with coughing/sneezing, pain with sex, tailbone pain, prolpase/pressure complaints, as well as helping moms be proactive about their health

This depsnds on the person. If you have any complaints like pain or pressure we recommend start sooner rather than later. If you do not have any complaitns and want to work on birth prep and proactive treatment we recommend starting mid 2nd trimester. It is also ok if you start later or earlier. There is no one size fits all approach at Empower and we tailor your treatment for you!

It does depend on the complaints but the majority of our sessions involve manual therapy (soft tissue mobilizations both internal and external as well a joint mobilizations).
We work on breathing coordination to help your core (this includes your pelvic floor) work optimally as well as strength and mobility training. We emphasize a lot of education about your how YOUR body can work optimally for you.
