Restore your body and health with patient-driven pelvic and orthopedic physical therapy
PREGNANCY AND CHILDBIRTH CAN BE A MAGICAL TIME
A time that ushers in the best moments…
and if we’re being totally honest, the most challenging moments.
Rarely discussed is the aftermath of stretching our bodies to an extreme capacity, during pregnancy and birth. Where we experience those silent symptoms, that inwardly feel painfully loud! The embarrassing changes such as: leaking, painful intercourse, loss of/painful range of motion.
You may be surprised to learn how common Pelvic Floor symptoms are:
77% of postpartum women have low back pain that interferes with daily tasks
Vaginal deliveries are the number one risk for pelvic organ prolapse
Up to 65% of women experience sexual dysfunction 18 months postpartum, regardless of the method of delivery
Thankfully
Therapeutic physical therapy celebrates huge successes in getting women, such as yourself, back into the activities you love, pain-free (& leak-free too).
At VitaNewLife, we help women get off the roller coaster of prenatal & postpartum symptoms. Here you’ll receive the validation and care required to treat the underlying cause. You will never be given a one-size fits all approach to your unique struggle..
A Mother of 4 who Understands
Commited to bringing back your Smile
Hi, I’m Sarah:
You’re in a safe place where you’ll be met with compassion.
My ‘hands on’ approach enables me to get to ‘the why’ systems aren’t optimally functioning. Your therapeutic and holistic treatments will build back your strength and function.
I’m so motivated by seeing the huge smiles of my clients as they come in and share their wins: running without leaking, pain-free intimacy and resuming everyday-activities they once took for granted.
As a mother of four, physical therapist, childbirth educator and doula, I understand the importance of a positive pregnancy, birth experience and postpartum care.
I want you to be able to experience a healthy parenthood where you’re unburdened by pain or lack of motion.
