Birth Preparation
Birth Preparation at Salus Soma focuses on supporting your body through pregnancy, birth, and the transition into motherhood
Birth Preparation Phsyical Therapy
Pregnancy is a powerful and transformative season—but it can also bring uncertainty, discomfort, and questions about how your body will handle labor, birth, and recovery. As your body changes to support your growing baby, it’s common to notice new aches, pressure, instability, or fear around what’s ahead.
At Salus Soma Physical Therapy & Wellness, Birth Preparation Physical Therapy is designed to support your body as a whole—not just for labor, but for the transition into postpartum and motherhood. Our work focuses on helping you feel strong, informed, and confident in your body so you can approach birth with more trust and less fear.

Why Birth Preparation Matters
Preparing your body during pregnancy can significantly impact how you experience labor—and how you recover afterward.
Pelvic Floor Support & Awareness
Your pelvic floor is working continuously throughout pregnancy to support your growing baby. Birth Preparation focuses on improving pelvic floor coordination, circulation, and nervous system awareness, not just strengthening.
This work helps:
Support effective pushing during labor
Breathing mechanics during labor and during postpartum
Reduce pelvic pain and pressure during pregnancy
Lower the risk of leaking, prolapse, and dysfunction postpartum
Promote healthier sexual function after delivery
Preparing for Labor
Labor is a physical event that requires strength, mobility, endurance, and relaxation. Birth Preparation Physical Therapy helps your body learn how to work with labor instead of fighting against it.
You’ll learn:
Breathing strategies to manage contractions and conserve energy
Laboring and pushing positions that create more space in the pelvis
Movement strategies to reduce unnecessary tension
Ways to stay grounded and connected to your body during labor
Education for Birth and Beyond
Education is woven into every session.
Topics may include:
Pelvic floor anatomy and function
Breathing and pressure management
Positions that help open the pelvis during labor
Reducing vaginal tearing risk
What to expect during the pushing phase
Preparing for Cesarean birth
C-section incision care
Safe postpartum core and pelvic floor recovery
There is space here for questions, concerns, and honest conversations. Birth Preparation at Salus Soma is about supporting your body and your nervous system through this transition.
