Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation and Recovery
Are you experiencing incontinence, painful intercourse, prolapse, diastasis recti, or “mom pooch?” Let’s dispel the myth that these symptoms are all inevitable consequences of childbirth, whether your baby was born 8 weeks or 18 years ago.
Dr. Lindsay's Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation sessions target progressive, step-wise healing through breathwork and exercise targeting your deep core and pelvic floor muscles. These sessions improve function, reduce pain and restore confidence.
Rehabilitation is external and you are clothed. Sessions are entirely non-invasive and are paced according to individual ability.
Let's honor our bodies and unleash our strength as life-giving, powerful women!
“I just completed Dr. Lindsay’s postpartum recovery program and feel amazing. I can actually move my body again. Highly recommend. My body after four babies was shot and by the end of the program I could actually hold my own body weight again. I found that after a couple weeks of exercises I was more in tune with what was going on down there. The whole program focused on opening and closing my pelvic floor. ”
“Just completed an 8 week pelvic floor rehab program with Dr. Lindsay. So pleased. I went on two hikes last week with no leaks. After 30 years of incontinence getting progressively worse, I saw a urologist hoping to get surgery. She insisted I try a kegal program. I was skeptic but heh I’ll give it a shot.
The experience was great. Maliya has such a relaxing ambiance. Dr. Lindsay is so great at getting you to connect with your body and coaching you through the sessions.
It has made such a difference in my life. I will be coming back monthly.”
