Pregnancy & Postpartum Physical Therapy in Texas
Supporting your body through the transitions of pregnancy, birth, and beyond
Pregnancy and birth change your body fast. I’ve seen a lot of women show up feeling off—like something’s not quite right, but they’re not sure what to call it. Maybe you’re dealing with pain that wasn’t there before, or feeling weak in ways that make doing daily task harder. That doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong. It just means your body needs some help recalibrating.
That’s what I do here at Beckham Physical Therapy and Wellness with my pregnancy & postpartum physical therapy services.
What I Treat Most Often
There’s no one right way to feel after pregnancy. But if you're dealing with ongoing symptoms, it’s a sign your body needs support.
Some of the most common reasons women reach out to me include:
- Back and SI joint pain – often feels like a deep ache or sharp pinch in the lower back or hips, especially when lifting your baby, feeding, or rolling in bed
- Pubic symphysis dysfunction – sharp, shooting, or splitting pain in the front of the pelvis when walking, standing on one leg, or getting in/out of a car, or turning in bed.
- Pelvic pressure, heaviness, or leaking – that feeling of pressure or a surprise leak when you cough, sneeze, or try to work out
- Abdominal separation (diastasis recti) – soft or bulging space along the belly midline, often with a feeling of weakness or poor core support
- Pain with intimacy – burning, stinging, or pressure that wasn’t there before birth and doesn’t feel like it’s resolving on its own
- Postural issues or joint instability – feeling off balance, misaligned, or like your body just “isn’t holding together” the way it used to
If any of this sounds familiar—and you're looking for back and SI joint pain therapy in Bellaire, Texas, or help with pubic symphysis dysfunction in Katy, Texas—this is the kind of care I specialize in.
Why These Symptoms Show Up—And What I Can Do
Your body makes space for the baby during pregnancy. That means softening connective tissue, shifting your center of gravity, and putting new demands on your spine, hips, and core. After birth those same systems don’t return to normal automatically.
Pubic bone pain, SI joint issues, and pelvic pressure are maybe signs that your core and pelvic floor aren’t coordinating properly, yet. Even weeks or months later, it is normal to feel unstable, weak, or misaligned.
Many women are cleared at 6 weeks but still don’t feel ready – or safe – to go back to daily activities. That’s where postpartum physical therapy in Spring Branch comes in.
What My Sessions Look Like
Every session happens in a private, one-on-one setting—no crowds, no generic exercise lists. I start by listening to what’s been going on in your body and what matters most to you. Then, we work together to create a plan that actually supports your healing.
Here’s what that might include:
- Hands-on manual therapy to address tightness, scarring, or joint pain
- Posture and breath retraining to reconnect your diaphragm, core, and pelvic floor
- Core stabilization and rebuilding deep strength without strain
- Guided movement therapy for lifting, walking, and daily life
- Pelvic floor therapy that focuses on both strength and relaxation
- Education, so you know how to move safely and confidently
Whether you're healing from a C-section, managing tailbone pain, or looking for pubic symphysis dysfunction therapy in Memorial, the care plan is always tailored to your specific needs.
It’s Never Too Early or Too Late to Get Help
Some women start care during pregnancy to manage pain or prepare for delivery. Others begin weeks, months or even years after having a baby, still waiting to feel like themselves again.
If you’re not sure what you’re feeling is normal or if you’ve been told everything “looks fine” but it doesn’t feel fine, that’s enough of a reason to reach out. Postpartum physical therapy in Spring Branch is about restoring strength, control, and comfort, not checking boxes.
Get Help That Works for What You’re Actually Feeling
Your recovery deserves time, care, and attention. You don’t have to suffer through pain or ignore discomfort just because it’s common. Whether you’re struggling with back and SI joint pain in Bellaire, Texas, or pubic symphysis dysfunction in Katy, Texas, we’ll work together to make things feel better.
