Zionsville: Pregnancy & Back Pain

More Patient Success "Pain free and Stronger for Labor!" After the birth of my first child, I struggled with pelvic floor and tailbone pain. I was eventually able to resolve it on my own after 9 months, but it returned and began to worsen during my second pregnancy. My OB referred me to ZPT. Elaine was spectacular at making suggestions for home exercises as well as helping me with in-office release work and relaxation. By the end of my pregnancy, I was free from pain and feeling stronger for labor and delivery. My pushing time was only 1/3 of what it was with my first, and even postpartum I have had no pelvic floor pain. Working with Elaine was truly life-changing for me!" - Evelyn A. "Provided the treatment and exercises I needed!" "I started coming to ZPT seven months after I had my second child. I experienced pelvic girdle pain throughout much of my pregnancy, which continued and worsened postpartum. The pain had become almost constant and was limiting my ability to care for my children and perform the simplest of household tasks! I had pain walking upstairs, lifting my kids, strollers, etc. and could not even stand on one leg to put on pants. This was incredibly hard physically and it also really started to take a toll on me emotionally, as I couldn’t enjoy any of the physical activities I had previously done. Elaine was incredibly caring, supportive, and most importantly very knowledgeable about my health issue. I came away from the first visit encouraged and with a plan to restore my health. Throughout my time at ZPT, Elaine and her wonderful staff provided the treatment and exercises I needed to regain my core strength and keep my pelvis in alignment. The pain and achiness I had been experiencing significantly decreased, and I have been able to care for my children and perform normal activities without being in agony. I continue to see small improvements and hope to make a full recovery as I continue to use the exercises I learned at therapy. Thanks so much, ZPT!" - Brooke A. "Before coming to ZPT, I was struggling with my pelvic floor strength after the birth of our third baby. I was experiencing some urinary leakage with activity and other physical stressors. Elaine equipped me with a number of exercises to strengthen my pelvic floor, and I also realized that correcting my posture would help my pelvic floor. Everything is interconnected! I am very grateful for her guidance and expertise." - Chelsea R. "I am very grateful!"
