What Happens When Postpartum Recovery Gets Skipped
You Assume Symptoms Are Just Part of Having a Baby
Leaking during a run, core weakness, pelvic pressure, or pain that won't clear — these aren't just the cost of delivery. They're signals worth addressing, and they don't always resolve on their own without targeted care.
Returning to Training Keeps Getting Pushed Back
You want to get back to running or lifting, but something keeps getting in the way. Without a structured plan built around your body's actual recovery, every attempt either stalls out or sets you back further from where you want to be.
Small Issues Compound Into Bigger Ones
Diastasis recti, pelvic floor dysfunction, and movement compensations that go unaddressed early become harder to resolve later. The sooner you get targeted postpartum care, the better your outcomes and the faster your return to full capacity.
Postpartum PT Built for Women Who Want More Than Rest
Postpartum PT at Grit goes beyond recovery basics. You'll work one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy who evaluates your movement, core mechanics, strength, and pelvic function to understand what changed during pregnancy and delivery — then builds a plan to address it at the source and support your full return to training and the life you want.
Full-Picture Postpartum Evaluation
Your evaluation looks at core mechanics, movement quality, and pelvic function together — not just the most obvious symptoms. We find what's actually limiting you and build a plan around that foundation, not surface-level guesswork.
Structured Return to Exercise
Whether your goal is running, lifting, or keeping up with daily life, your return to exercise is built progressively — with objective testing, clear checkpoints, and a timeline that matches where your body actually is, not where you wish it was.

Common Questions About Postpartum Physical Therapy at Grit
Here are answers to the questions we hear most from people in Richmond considering postpartum physical therapy at Grit PT.
No. Virginia allows direct access to physical therapy, so you can schedule your evaluation at Grit without a physician referral. If you are working with an OB, midwife, or pelvic health specialist, we are happy to coordinate with your care team to keep everything aligned.
Many postpartum patients start between 6 and 8 weeks after delivery, though we can often see patients earlier for education, breathing work, and gentle movement. The sooner you begin, the stronger the foundation for returning to exercise — whether your goal is running, lifting, or just feeling like yourself again.
Yes. Postpartum PT at Grit looks at your whole body — pelvic floor function, core mechanics, movement quality, and strength — with the goal of getting you back to full activity. Whether you are dealing with leaking, diastasis recti, or a body that simply doesn't feel like your own yet, your plan is built around both resolving symptoms and returning to the exercise and training you care about.
It depends on what you are dealing with and what you are returning to. Most patients see meaningful progress within 6 to 10 sessions, and we give you a clear plan and timeline at your first evaluation. There are no open-ended programs — you will know exactly what to expect from day one.
Grit PT is out-of-network with all insurance providers. You pay a flat rate per session and we provide a superbill you can submit for potential reimbursement through your out-of-network benefits. We cannot guarantee reimbursement, but many patients recover a portion of their costs.
